PROMISE 55 – PILLARS OF TRUTH

PROMISE 55 – PILLARS OF TRUTH

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style. – Psalm 144:12

Pillars often symbolize inspiring traits such as strength, wisdom, uprightness, authority, and resolve-characteristics that make good leaders.  It takes believers who will stand like pillars to uphold God’s  work in this world; flimsy spiritual props will just give way under the pressure.  

When Jeremiah was but a child, God said He would make him like “an iron pillar” –immovable in the face of opposition (Jer. 1:18). The church as a whole is described as a “pillar…of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:15).  So ever member of the church—adult or child—should exhibit “pillar like” qualities and fill the role of world changers and history makers.  All overcoming believers have the eternal destiny of being “pillars in the temple of God” –which is certainly a prophetic description of our role in the government of God to come (Rev 3:12).  Since we have claimed our children to partake of this exalted status, we can expect them to be “sculptured in palace style” at an early age—developed as the supportive columns of a divine purpose that stretches from time to eternity.

PRAYER DECLARATION

Lord God, than You for making my child like a pillar—unmovable, and unchanging in his/her commitment to You.  Let my children be wise, upright, full of authority, determined, and excellent in all things.  I pray Joshua and Mikayla will be like Jeremiah and will stand for the truth (like an iron pillar) even when it is unpopular.  Finally, I confess by faith that Joshua andMikayla will ultimately be like a pillar “sculptured in palace style.” An eternal pillar in the temple of God, one who will rule with God over all things in the kingdom that is to come.  In the name of Jesus, amen (let it be so)!
