PROMISE 13- SPIRITUAL GROWTH: UNIQUENESS AND EXCELLENCE

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring. They will spring up among the grass like willows by the watercourses. – Isaiah 44:3-4

When Parents walk in truth, their relationship with God provides “streams of living waters” (John 7:38) that constantly flow through the lives of their children. This nurtures them spiritually and helps them grow. Children are constantly “watered” by the example of their parents and the training they receive, and they should constantly grow in god as a result. In fact, living trees never stop growing. Scripture says John the Baptist and even the Lord Jesus “grew” and became “strong in spirit” when they were children (Luke 1:80; 2:40).
God’s people should expect the same for their children. As our key verse puts it, the offspring of the righteous will “spring up…like willows by the watercourses.” Willow trees, because of their drooping branches, can remind us of our need to be humble before God—to bow before Him submissively and adoringly. In this passage our seed are characterized this way. But the willow could also speak of children who are unique and extraordinary, who excel in their gifting and calling in life—children who stant out in the crowd, as willow trees stand out in contrast to mere grass.

PRAYER DECLARATION-

Lord ,I believe Joshua will spring up before You and be humble, submissive, and adoring toward You all his/her days. I confess that because You promised to pour out Your Spirit and Your blessing on my offspring, it will come to pass. Joshua will ever grow in the things of God, nourished by the constant flow of the river of God’s presence in his life. In the name of Jesus, amen (LET IT BE SO)!
