PROMISE 30 – DOING WELL

PROMISE 30 – DOING WELL

Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time. –Deuteronomy 4:39-40
In 2 Kings 4 we read about a notable woman in Shunem who reverenced God. She offered the prophet Elisha a room in her home. God rewarded her with a miracle. Though childless, she conceived and bore a son. Later on, the child fell in the field crying, “My head,” and died shortly after. The Shunammite woman rushed to find the prophet, expecting God to use him to restore her child.
Gehazi, Elisha’s servant, encountered the woman first and asked, “Is it well with you? Is it well with the child?” Amazingly her response was, “It is well” (2 Kings 4:26)! She dared to confess what she believed God would do—and it happened. The child was raised back to life.
We should speak similar words of faith over our children. Even if it appears they are nearly “dead” spiritually or doing badly in certain areas, we should still dare to say, “It is well” putting our faith in God’s ability to change circumstances and hearts.
PRAYER DECLARATION
Lord, I I confess that You are God in heaven and on earth, and I seek to obey Your commandments. Therefore, I believe that it will “go well” with me and with my child Joshua as You promised—in every area of life. I believe this so completely that even in challenging or difficult times in my child’s life, I dare to confess by faith, “It is well”. In the name of Jesus, amen (LET IT BE SO)!
