Yes, God has good plans for you. Have you sometimes tried to figure out what your parents have in mind?
Have you also noticed that most of the time, your parents always meet your needs, at least to a large extent?
That’s how much our parents have us in mind, how much more our Father in heaven.
Children, the Lord knew you before you were formed and He has a great plan for your life.
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
Jeremiah 29:11 AMP
Long before your parents ever met, the Almighty, the creator of the universe, had you in mind.
Part of having you in mind was to design and map out a path for you.
That is, God has a plan of welfare and peace and not of evil.
With the understanding of the scripture above, we should always teach our children to be confident that the Lord is always with them and has a great plan for their lives.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to believe and walk in your plans for my life. Amen
ACTION POINT: Study the word more to discover His plans for you.
DECLARATION: My children have confidence in God because He has a great plan of welfare and peace for them.
To enjoy rest means to be peaceful on all sides, having everything falling in the right places. My children have rest.
But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil confronting me.
1kings 5:4 [AMP]
To enjoy rest, one must be at the center of God’s will, that is, living righteously. Enjoying rest also means, sickness and diseases are far away from us.
See what the scriptures says somewhere else.
And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Exodus 23:25[KJV]
Rest also means to be physically refreshed.
Even Jesus rested immediately after creation.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Genesis 2:2 [KJV]
We should always pray that our children will enjoy rest in every area of their lives and that no adversary or evil will confront them, in Jesus’ name; Amen
PRAYER: Lord, help me to rest when I should.
ACTION PLAN: Decide to take adequate rest today.
DECLARATION: My children enjoy all round rest. No sickness is found in or around them.
One thing we can equate the growth of our children to is that of a garden. My Children are as a well nurtured garden.
The bible tells us that;
May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace;
Psalms 144:12 (ESV)
A well-nurtured garden is always pleasant to look at or to relax in, but no one will desire to stay in an untidy garden. A garden is not left all by itself to be well nurtured, it takes a conscious effort.
Likewise, for our children, we must work towards nurturing them by teaching them the word of God, praying for them, and believing in God to become what he has created them to be.
We should always pray that our children will be strong and straight and pointed toward heaven. Not dwarfed by bad habits or foolish choices, not choked out by the weeds of the world, but they will be of visible character who stands alone, strong enough to withstand the storms of life.
Also pray that God grants them visible strength, godly character, and the beauty of full development.
Prayer: Oh Lord, cause my children to be as healthy as a well-nurtured garden; Amen
Action plan: Read and study more of God’s word
Declaration: My children are blessed to flourish at an early age so that they bring forth the good fruit of godly character.
My children Are untouchable! This is still part of the blessing recorded in Deuteronomy chapter 28. It is good we know the promises of God.
When we know the promises of God, it becomes easier for us to claim these promises for ourselves and our children.
Then everyone on earth will know that you belong to the LORD, and they will be afraid of you.
Deut 28:10 CEV
This is a promise of protection, that our children are untouchable.
When our children love the Lord, they become untouchable to the world.
Prayer: Pray that your children become untouchable. Amen
Action point: Read the promise again and again till it stays.
Declaration: My children are protected, saved and secured because the Lord takes care of them. The people of the earth are afraid of them because they belong to the Lord.
