TOPIC: YOUR CHILDREN SHALL BE GREAT
“And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD, and great shall be the peace of thy children.” Isaiah 54:13 KJV
If you are busy wondering how your children will turn out, go to bed and relax. God said, Your children will be taught of the Lord. “….The seed of the righteous shall be delivered.” (Proverbs 11:21 KJV)
You are the righteous. I know that some children might be rebellious now, but I guarantee you that they will come back. Why? Because that is the heritage of the righteous. So, go to bed. Stop developing hypertension because your children are rebelling.
They will turn out right. They shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be their peace. Shalom, well-being, security, protection, and prosperity shall be the heritage of your children.
Your children will make it in life. They will excel in life. They will not be a disappointment to you. They will not be a disappointment to the nation. They will not be a disappointment to society. They will not disappoint the church. They will fulfil their destiny. They will walk in favour.
Your children will not suffer delays. They will pursue, overtake, and recover all. Your children will take over power from the wicked. They will rule in the affairs of men. When the wicked take counsel against them, it shall come to nought. When they speak against your children, it shall not stand. The reason is that God is with you.
Any place where they are all over the world, their land will answer to them. For the sake of your children, the land will be preserved. For their sake, the infrastructural development will work.
The social, economic, educational, and political systems will work. Your children will not be vagabonds. Hold onto God’s promises for your children and keep speaking them over them. They will become all that God has ordained them to be from the foundation of the world.
