Bible Texts: Gen.49:25-26, Is.61:9, Num.6:21-22, Eph.6:4, Deut.6:5-10, Ps.23:2-3, Gen.1:26-28, Rom.10:10
Even by the God of thy Father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills, they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. (Gen.49:25-26)
Have you ever wondered why God made you a father? Did you know the power that God has given to you because of your position as a father? If you have not, I want you to meditate on the Scripture in Genesis chapter 49 and verse 26. While you are meditating on the verse of Scripture, I want you to know that you are more than a seed-carrying agent. You are an agent of blessing. Through YOU shall the nations of the earth be blessed (Gen.12:2). You have not just brought forth children to fill space on earth. You are empowered to raise good and godly children. That is who you are. That is the anointing of God upon your life as the godly husbandman.
Now, when you study the 26th verse of Genesis chapter 49, you will notice that the Bible says, the blessings of thy father have prevailed……..(Gen.49:26). What does this mean? It means that every father is a carrier of God’s blessings. He carries the power of God on the inside of him that will empower his children to win over the challenges of life. You must know that the difference between the children of the godly shepherd and that of the ungodly shepherd is the impartation they have received from their father. After God made man, the first word God spoke to the man was blessing. And God blessed them…(Gen.1:26-28). And if you study Isaiah chapter 61 and verse 9, you see the perfect will of God for your children. And the seed shall be known among the Gentiles ………and all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord has blessed (Is.61:9).
Are you pronouncing blessings upon your children or are you cursing them? Your children are ordained by God to be blessed seeds but it will require your prophetic declaration to activate the blessing in them.
So, how do I enter into the prophetic and exercise the authourity of God on my life as the good and godly father? The first is by declaring with your mouth the promises of God for your children in faith and consistently (Rom.10:10). The second task for you is to lay your hands on them and blessed them as often as possible. Your hands are designed to convey the power of God that will stir up the seed of blessing in their lives.
God has given you everything to make the most of your headship as the good and godly father. Make your count positively in the lives of your children, bringing glory to Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
