#prayerFocus : The next generation

Children are a sacred trust from God. We will give account of how we handled our parental responsibilities.

It is rather unfortunate that most Christians fail in teaching their children the fear of God.

What heritage are we leaving for the next generations? Who are the major influencers of your children?

The moral outlook of close associates would either influence our children positively or negatively.

King Solomon’s bad company with idolatrous women compromised his Divine destiny. Although he had so much prospects, his ungodly counselors became his downfall.

Solomon left a record of only one son-Rehoboam whose foolishness is as legendary as the wisdom of his father.

Therefore, as God’s people, we should be wise in our choice of friends/associates. And we should also prayerfully watch over the younger generation.

This prayer session is dedicated to our children and grandchildren.

#prayerPoints

1. Thank God for the grace of being a parent. Many are still asking God to bless them with kids.

2. Commit the life of your descendants to God as God to perfect all that concerns them spiritually, physically, psychologically and socially.

3. For those of our descendants who are not born again or have departed from the faith, earnestly ask God to draw them back to the fold.

4. Command the forces of evil to get off the case of your descendants and affirm your heritage in Christ as the righteousness of God in Christ.

5. Declare that soul ties to ungodly counselors, friends and influences are hereby severed and prohibited.

6. Declare that your descendants will from henceforth manifest supernatural wisdom from God.

7. Affirm that the anointing of God’s Spirit that enables spiritual growth is released to your descendants causing them to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God and Christ.

10. Affirmation

My descendants are alive unto God. Their Spirits are aglow with divine energy and their zeal for the things of God is overwhelming.

My descendants are filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. They please God in all things, are fruitful in every good work and are increasing daily in the knowledge of God’s Word.

My children and Grands are endowed with wisdom in their choice of friends and are empowered not to succumb to comradeship, easy money and feeling of empowerment offered by gangs, Satanists, occultists, counter cultures etc, to God’s glory. Amein.
