"Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord who delights greatly in His Commandments. His defendants will be mighty on the earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed."--Psalm 112:1-2
This is a power promise if there ever was one. Weak parents stand to raise weak children. But parents who fear the Lord – that's another story! By yielding to God's Spirit (called the "Spirit of might" in Isaiah 11:2), These parents conquer sin, self, and the spirit of the world. What a legacy to pass on! The children of such parents know,"If dad and mom can overcome that way, I can too!" Thus they are far more capable of doing great things in life and impacting the world in a mighty way.
Orville and Wilbur Wright had strong Christian parents, and look at how they influenced the earth through the development of air flight. And what about Billy Graham, who is certainly one of the most influential Christian leaders of this generation? He had strong Christian parents. After receiving the baton of consecrated faith from them, he passed it on to his offspring as well, and they are still impacting this world with the Gospel. May the same thing take placing your family!
PRAYER DECLARATION
LORD, I LIVE BEFORE YOU IN GODLY FEAR, REVERING YOUR HOLINESS AND STANDING IN ALL OF YOUR MAJESTY AND POWER. MY PASSION IS TO KEEP YOUR COMMANDMENTS. DELIGHT IN OBEYING YOUR WORD. SO ACCORDING TO THIS PROMISE, I CAN EXPECT MY CHILD TO DO MIGHTY WORKS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND CHANGE THIS WORLD IN A POWERFUL WAY. DADDY, I PRAY THAT YOU WILL AWAKEN THE "SPIRIT OF MIGHT" IN MY CHILDREN AND STRENGTHEN THEM WITH MIGHT THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT IN THE INNER MAN (Eph 3:16) IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN (LET IT BE SO)!
