THAT OUR CHILDREN MAY BUD, BLOSSOM AND BEAR FRUIT O’ LORD

THAT OUR CHILDREN MAY BUD, BLOSSOM AND BEAR FRUIT O’ LORD

Ps.144:1-15

 

Prayer is an exercise that fosters spiritual detoxification of a believer and imbues the beneficiary with the nature of God, in the course of the spiritual exchange at the interaction. And when one is filled with the nature of God, then does he have unwavering command – for as the divine nature rises, so does the command level (2Pet.1:4; Jn.14:12).

 

This generation of youths and children is apparently the most abandoned of all generations as parents focus on making ends meet and gratifying their desires of entertainment in their addiction to social media. No quality time is spent on parental sharing, counselling and prayers (Pro.3:1-2; 4:1-6). Yet these children are left most vulnerable as the hosts of darkness entangle them with alluring demonic resources delivered through advanced affordable technological infrastructure.

 

But parents have a duty to protect and preserve their offspring. Prayer is an infrastructure that can comfortably take on the weight of the demonic escapades against the young minds (cons. 2Tim.1:1-3; 1Thess.1:1-2). It is an instrument of generation of protection to offsprings (cons. Job 1:5)

 

In our text; after the Psalmist had asked for divine deliverance from the hand of foreigner (strange children), he proceeded to pray for his offspring (v.11,12). Intercessory prayer is like an art in which the petitioner acquires skills over time (v.1,5).

 

We shall rise to pray for our children to bud, blossom and bear fruit.
