Standing for Our Children
We all want our children to succeed and do well in life. But always remember this: much more important than their financial, business, or professional success is whether or not they are Saved. We cannot take worldly "success" or the wealth of world with us when we die.
When it is time for a man to leave this world, the only thing that matters is whether he dies with or without Jesus. I hate the very thought of going to heaven without our kids. God wants our entire family to be intact and together in heaven.
That is why I implore parents: LET US PUT THE SALVATION OF OUR CHILDREN ABOVE THEIR ACADEMIC, CAREER, OR FINANCIAL SUCCESS!
So, if your kids are not saved, DO NOT despair; instead do this:
1. Never stop pointing them to Jesus! It does not matter how old they are, NEVER stop talking to them about Jesus and His Cross!
2. Never stop praying for them!
3. Keep on speaking with your mouth that the Lord Jesus has already paid the price for their salvation, and that the claim of the Blood of Jesus upon their lives is far greater than any influence that Satan may exert upon their minds.
4. Never stop rebuking the devil and taking authority in the Name of Jesus over the devil's work in the lives of your children.
5. Never stop speaking the Word of God over them. BELIEVE that the seed of the Word of God that has been spoken over them and sown into their lives since they were babies will eventually bear fruit. Remember this mighty scripture:
"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
-Isaiah 55:11
Declare that God's will and purpose SHALL prosper in the lives of your children!
The Word of God is full of the life and the power of God. Speaking the Word of God over our children is the most potent force of all. It releases the life and the power of God over them. They SHALL experience the gift of eternal life!
