Topic: Mercy for our children
Text: Psalm 127:3-5 KJV
3] Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord : and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4] As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5] 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 g*te.
Introduction :
Our children are gifts from the Lord.
Our children are God's generous legacy for us.
Our children are our testimonies.
Our children are the prophecy of our tomorrow.
See, Psalm 127:3.
Like Arrows, God want our children to straight in behavior, attitude and character.
Like Arrows, God want our children to be sharp in mind and the things of God .
Like Arrows, God want our children to be swift and focus in their quests in life
Like Arrows, God want our children to have a base .
See, Psalm 127:4.
This is why I can confidently says that God want us to be happy and glad over our children - Psalm 127:5
Anything that will cause us to sorrow over our children is not His plans and purposes for us , that is why his words says in Isaiah 65:23 KJV They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.
For this reason, God's desire increase for us and our children- Psalm 115:14 KJV The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Beloved, God gave our children to us so that they can become everything we can’t become , hence the scriptures says in Psalm 45:16 KJV Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
This is why, even If our children rebel and backslide , God want them to return and be healed - Jeremiah 3:22 KJV. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.
However, EVIL happens to children when their parents put their hands on evil and break an edge - Lamentations 5:7-9 KJV
7] Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
8] Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
9] We g*t our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
When this happen, then Our children needs mercy !
It will take mercy to bail our children out of the consequences of the parental evil deeds
Where Mercy is not available, the resultant occurrence will be CALAMITIES UPON CALAMITIES.
This example was seen so much in the life of David when he committed adulterous act with Basheba and killed Urial - see, 2 Sam 11.
David's acts, set into operation several curses that caused ( 2 Samuel 12:1-14) :
i). Strange Sickness and infant mortality -
2 Samuel 12:15-18.
ii). Evil act of incense among his children -
2 Sam. 13: 1-20.
iii). Violent death - 2 Samuel 13:21-30
iv). Conspiracies and Rebellion - 2 Samuel 15.
v). INSULT and ridicule - 2 Samuel 16:13-14
vi). Pain and Heartaches for king David -
2 Samuel 18:33
vii) Siblings rivalry and Reprisal killings -
1 kings 1&2
Let Us Pray:
Cry Out :
1. O Lord have mercy upon my children
2. O Lord keep my children from evil friends
3. O Lord let your mercy bail out my children from every foundational curses
4. By Your MERCY O LORD my God, let my children escape any programmed evil in the new year
5. God of mercy disappoint every evil counsel and plans to overthrow my children
6. Evil hands troubling the destiny of my children, dry and be wasted by mercy
7. O Lord teach my children yourself and let their peace be plenty
8. Thank you Jesus .
