Revelation of the Word:

THEME: PARENTING

Job 1:4-5 NKJV

“And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.”

INSIGHT

-Job a spiritually upright man who lived in the land of Uz a large territory East of Jordan feared God. He offered sacrifices regularly to the Lord on behalf of his children lest they have sinned against the Lord. Since the father of the household acted as a priest since the time of Abram (Genesis 15:9-10) and consecrated his children. This was a way of seeking absolution from their sins lest they sinned or cursed God in their hearts. Our prayers to God are sweet smelling incense to Him (Psalms 141:2), when they are acceptable to Him. We are therefore called to always pray for our children as often as possible seeking God’s mercy, forgiveness, guidance and blessings.

PRAYER

Abba Father our God, we thank You for this day. We give You praise due to Your glory and strength. We give You glory due to Your name and worship You in the beauty of Your holiness. Your voice Lord is over the waters, Your glory thunders over many waters. Your voice Lord is powerful. Your voice is full of majesty. May You forgive us all our sins, trespasses and those of our children. May you forgive our children where they have sinned against You loving Father with their actions, thoughts and words and sanctify them body, soul and spirit. We declare that our children are blessed in the city and in the country. They are the head and not the tail. They are the first and not the last. They are blessed when they come in and blessed when they go out. The fruit of our womb is blessed. May You Lord grant that the enemies who rise up against our families will always be defeated before us. They will come at us from one direction but flee from us in seven. May You send a blessing on our barns and on everything we put our hands to. May You bless us in the land that You have given unto us and establish us as Your holy people and help us to always walk in obedience to You dear Lord Jesus. May You grant us abundant prosperity that You may open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on our land in season and bless all the work of our hands. We will lend to many nations but borrow from none. We thank You and honor You dear Lord Jesus and it is in Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen
