We have just completed our prayer for our children to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. I hope this was helpful to all who were able to read them.
I would like to share with you a promise form the book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 44:3-5. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. One will say, ‘I belong to the LORD’; another will call himself by the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and will take the name Israel. (NIV)
God has promised not to sprinkle, wet, or make damp, but to Pour out His Spirit on your children (offspring) and His blessings on your descendants. Not only your immediate child or children, (offspring) but their children and their children’s children and as far down the line as you can possible imagine (descendants). It is the gift that keeps on giving. God says our children will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing springs – think about it. The poplar tree translated “white tree” though usually a shrub can grow up to twenty feet. A shrub is not a tree but with the right care- by flowing streams -it can surpass many trees. Do not discount what or who they are, with the right care you can bring them to their 20 feet.
Father I thank you for my children, I pray that as they grow in your grace they will recognize who they truly are in you. I pray that they will confirm who they are by the words from their mouth ‘I belong to the Lord’ or call themselves by the name of the Lord or they will confirm this by writing on their hand, “The LORD’s,’ In Jesus’ name Amen
Do you believe this? If you do, then try to maintain your focus on it; though it may tarry it will surely come to pass.
