Our Children are covered

I hope you are doing well and you are accessing and enjoying every blessing that God has in store for you. The summer holidays are almost over and many of our children are gone back to school or getting ready to go back in the upcoming week or so.   Hopefully those children in Ferguson, Missouri will be able to return to school shortly. Due to the riot that has been going on in Ferguson as a result of the shooting of 18 year old unarmed Michael Brown, the opening of schools last week was suspended.  

This evening I would like to share a prayer with you for your children as they return to school and college for the fall semester.

Father I am so thankful to you for keeping my children safe and occupied over the summer. As they return to school I pray that I will not become anxious and worry, knowing that I have committed them into your great big capable hands and under your very watchful all-seeing eyes.

I pray for their continued protection as they leave home on a daily basis or for the entire semester. I thank you for keeping their minds and giving them the ability to stay focused in their classes.

I denounce any unwanted spirit that would rise it's ugly head against them. I take a stand and denounce the spirits of violence, school shootings, bullying, drugs, alcoholism, pornography, homosexuality, lesbianism, and promiscuity. I say my child will not have issues of ADHD, ADD or oppositional defiant behaviors but will exhibit the mind of Christ.

 

I call forth the spirit of excellence, kindness, empowerment, and diligence to rise within them. I thank you for favor that will overtake them along the way. I thank you Lord that our children will be rewarded with good grades, that they will be leaders and not followers, and that they will be lights in every dark places around them. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
 

Please continue to pray for the various cities- see August Calendar . Let us also remember to pray for those people in West Africa- affected by the Ebola virus- Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in particular.

Our Gifts-our Children

I hope you are in good health and that you had a great week. I know most times we identify "great" as something earth shattering, however it could be something simple as being able to move around unaided, or as simple as knowing where your children are. 

     For this week I would like to remind you of one of the key messages of this ministry- "children are gifts on loan from God" I feel compelled to constantly remind us because we tend to forget especially when or relationship with them becomes rocky. We need to be reminded as well when we see them as our own to do what and how we want with them. Be reminded keeps things always in perspective, knowing that we will need to give an account for the way in which we handled these gifts. Being reminded keeps us humble knowing how privileged we are to be chosen as caretaker of these precious gifts. God does not give us garbage, He gives us the best.

 

 Today let us thank God for our gifts and not spend time comparing them with someone else's gift. Every gift is unique and was created with you in mind. Pray for wisdom in understanding who to correctly care for and utilize these precious gifts so that God is honored and gets all the Glory. Let us see them as in the image of God and not just as an image of you and or their earthly father. Not only are they created in God's image but they also possess some of His characteristics. Your job is to help bring these out of them to be displayed for the world to see.
