Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Friday 11.30am-6.30pm (UK time)
Psalms 127:3 "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."
- Thank the Lord for the gift of children; appreciate Him for all that He has done in the lives of our children.
- Thank God for the testimonies we have heard concerning our children.
- Thank God for the persecuted children - more strength and grace upon their lives, and a daily in-filling of the Holy Spirit as their helper, standby, strengthener, advocate, teacher, counsellor and comfort.
Two categories of children:
Children of light (new creation) and children of corruption (Adamic race).
Matt. 2: 19-20 “Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, ‘Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.’”
Luke 2:40 “And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.”
- Father, please protect these little ones. Keep them and watch over them. Shield them from the eyes of the wicked one.
- Make our children grow and wax strong in spirit, filled with wisdom and grace. Matt 2:46-47.
- Lord, as you fill our children with Your Spirit, make them bold in their faith. Make them rooted and grounded in the things of Christ so that they will not be tossed to and fro by false teachings.
Evil communication corrupt good manners.
1 Cor. 15: 33-34a “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not;”
2 Chronicles 10: 6-11
- Lord, please separate the children of light from the children of Adamic race who deliver evil counsel to them and have been sent out on assignment to destroy our little ones. This could be through making friends.
Youngsters love their friends and can do anything to protect their friendship.
- Cause our children to harken unto godly counsel only.
- Father, make our school children who have been taught the things of Christ to be non-receptive to any negative teachings that is delivered to them, be it from their teachers or school mates.
- Please empower them spiritually.
Deny Yourself:
1 Samuel 3:1 –15
Samuel was a little boy who could deny himself of his sleep to hear the Lord.
Today, our children are easily carried away by pleasure. Even to harken to a call while they are awake for some, is a challenge most especially when they are engaged with gadgets, movies or friends.
The ways and thought of the Lord is different from that of man. While parents make excuses and prevent their children from being exposed to the hard truth and reality of what is really happening, the Lord is no respecter of any man - He can reveal his burdens to children.
The devil also understands that the children are best recruited when they are young, so he exposes them to the things that can only lead to their destruction. He strategy is “CATCHING THEM YOUNG.”
- Lord, reveal Yourself to our children. Make Yourself known to them. They are not too young to know You personally. Be merciful unto them.
- Let the fear of You begin to arise in our children. Let them not fall victim to the subtlety of the devil.
- Begin to give them understanding of what it means to deny themselves.
- Honour Your name in their lives as they preach the message of the cross to their school mates.
- Let them experience divine manifestation of the Holy Spirit. For the children which you have given us are for signs and wonders.
- Let our children not be attracted to the things of the world anymore but hunger more and desire the things of God.
- Let our children never deny themselves of their true identity in Christ.
- Use them to confront their mates and teachers with the things of Christ; for greater is He that is in them than he that is in the world.
- Make them Josiahs, Daniels, Samuels, Josephs, Davids, who will confront with boldness and stand firm against anything that defiles the name of the Lord in their generation.
