What are Your Children Calling Themselves?

God's word is settled in heaven; He is faithful to bring it to pass on earth Ps.119:89-90. But nothing in His Kingdom is by compulsion; it is not in God's character to force His will on man. Having inquired of God, a father need put the child on the path of continuous discovery by pointing him to his Creator, encouraging him from an early age to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Did Jesus not ask that children not be denied access to Him Mt.19:14?

Faith is believing and speaking Rom.10:10, it claims the will of God, but begins where that will is known. There is so much your child will discover about himself by studying God’s word, enquiring of his Creator and meditating on [speak to himself] prophetic words received. God places His purpose in a heart that inquires, one willing to search diligently for it. Every effort of our teachers, even of the Holy Spirit, is that we be presented to the Almighty, made perfect in Christ Col.1:28. Knowing this, fathers should edify children, improve their knowledge of the Word, to assure they are not tossed by the winds of false doctrine, but grow to the stature of the fullness of Christ Eph.4:11-16. Help children play their part - believing and speaking - to bring God’s prophecy to pass.

Apostle Paul counsels Timothy, his protégé, that ‘in accordance with the prophecies previously made about’ him, he ‘wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience’ 1Tim.1:18-19. From this charge, we may deduce this: there is a prophetic word for every lover of God, when it is found, it must be spoken by faith, and tested against the knowledge of God; if it fails the premise of a good conscience, it is not from Him. Dad, does what your child say about himself constitute waging ‘the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience’? Words of doubt or hope? ‘If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man…’ Js.3:2.

Jacob raised his son Joseph to have character and the capacity to continue in God's presence, even in his father’s absence. When faced with adversity, your children need take a stand for what God said, or is saying, whatever the consequence, having learned to trust and yield to Him only. When they agree with God's purpose and stay on His path for them, continuously affirming His words by believing and speaking it however challenging the journey, they access the resources that come with His blessing.

Prayer:                                                                                                                                                        
Thank You, Lord, for granting my family access to all You bequeathed to Christ and for revealing, by Your Spirit, who we are and what belongs to us. Touch our hearts, Lord, cause us to desire intimate fellowship with Your word to know Your will, to trust, worship and serve You only; that our hearts no longer be ruled by our flesh but by Your Spirit. Thank You for grace to walk in obedience to Your will Rm.6:14. We will claim all, for the willing and obedient eat the good You give Is.1:19, in Jesus name.


Declaration:

In the name of Jesus, and by the super-abounding grace of God, my children and I continuously seek the Giver of good gifts and follow His guidance, knowing He has orchestrated fulfilment of every word He spoke about us Mt.1:22. Like Samuel we achieve purpose 1Sam.2:35; like Jesus we grow in wisdom, stature and favour with God and men Lk.2:40; like John the Baptist we grow to become strong in spirit until the day of our manifestation Lk.1:80. God performs all things for us Ps.57:2 to give us the future He planned before the foundation of the world Jer.29:11, our expected end. Thank You, Jesus.

What Benefits Praying in Tongues for the Believing Father? Part 1.

Image
Tongues is a supernatural sign that follows believers Mk.16:17 , it is evidence of our connection to the heavenly realm. Being the initial sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit Acts.2:4 , it is an overflow that overwhelms us with God’s awesomeness. Who would not want such Gift? Our spirituality is critical to success at living the abundant life on earth; only the spiritual may discern the things 1Cor.2:9-15 that God's divine power has given us 2Pet.1:3 , and draw them from the heavenly realm Eph.1:3 into his physical space. How? The more he prays God’s precise will, in season, the more of His goodness he is able to draw. It starts at the altar of fellowship with the One to Whom he belongs, conversing in a heavenly language, not even aware of what he asks!

When God’s Spirit Plants Seeds of His Will, the Harvest is Bountiful.

Fathers may learn elements of son-ship from Jesus. As He prayed to the Father, so must they, for men ought always to pray Lk.18:1 . What must a father pray? The same as Jesus taught - God’s will. No other foundation for fathering can be laid but to emulate successful fathering from the Almighty God Himself, the ultimate Father. There is a dimension of prayer that comes from the spirit, another from the realm of understanding. Do not rest your prayer life in what you understand only, else you will not pray about mysterious things in the world - even in your life – which you do not understand [ This is most things, for, you know not how you ought to pray Rom.8:26] . I f you pray only in this realm, your answer may not come, for we do not receive if we ask amiss; for answer-worthy prayer, you need to reach beyond your understanding. Language is a universal power, it strengthens, clarifies and upholds communication. Everything in created order has a language that joins the unit, dogs
