DIVINE ASSIGNMENTS FOR MOTHERING (2)

Beloved Daughter in Zion,

Greetings of love in Jesus’ name. Last week we started on this very crucial topic- DIVINE ASSIGNMENTS FOR MOTHERING and we expounded on one of the divine assignments- NUTURE. This week, we shall continue on the series by sharing another divine assignment for mothers;

(2) DESTINY MOULDING AND INTERCESSION

TEXT: 2Tim.1:5, Ez.22:30;13:5, Ps.106:23, Isa.59:16

Intercession is a way of enforcing the will of God and it is into this the Lord has called you as a mother.
Many times, God shows His children impending dangers; this is not to be seen as mere information; He actually wants you to pray in order to stop the impending danger and make things right (Gen.18:17-33). God had in many generations called (and is still calling) women aside to give them a fore knowledge of the destinies of their children (Gen.25:23, Luk.1:31-35). He does this so as to guide them and make them know their responsibility in raising those children according to His predetermined ways.

As a mother, you are a powerful tool of intercession in the hand of God. He has called you into this duty of intercession because He has something to accomplish through you, and you must be willing to rise up to this responsibility. There is no hopeless situation that cannot be turned around in the lives of your Children if only you can just intercede. Whether your children are sucklings, teenagers, adults or even married, your intercession can enforce the will of God in their lives.

Sometimes ago, Kenneth Copeland shared that when he was younger, before he married, he did not want to embrace the call of God on his life. He loved going to play in parties instead of embracing the will of God. He stressed further that when he went out to sing in those parties, his mother would go into his room and lay hold on his pillow and would start praying for him. At the instance of his mother’s prayer, something would just draw him home from the party. With desire to sleep, he would become repentant and sober as soon as he laid his head on the pillow and the next thing was prayers to God. Today, he is a vessel of God. This was the work of a praying mother.

Your prayers can make all the difference. Lots of mothers complain about their children over different issues, but very few go on their knees to enforce God’s plans from the spirit realm. Don’t use your mouth to kill and destroy every other good thing in the lives of your children (especially the wayward ones). Rather, use the same mouth to mould their future and destiny according to the will of God. Don’t just WISH they were something; pray them into God’s plans and God’s rest. (Isa.62:1-2)

Kenneth Hagin said he was the one that prayed the first lady his son would have married out of his life when he knew she was not the will of God for him. You can do the same. You can pray out bad friends, habits and acts out of the lives of your children. You can use your prayers to help them in their endeavours and in their marriage. Instead of moving around with gossips, look for a praying friend (or friends). As a parent, there is a stand you can take in the spirit, based on the revelation of God’s word that will open your children’s lives to various encounters of God. You are a moulder and an intercessor. Rise up now and start walking in it. It is your divine assignment.

It is well with you.
