SAMUEL 6:12-23
Invest in
praying for your children. If you do not take time to pray for your children’s
future success, you have automatically set in motion the wheel of their failure.
Also, as you pray and decree good concerning them, sustain your confession. Do
not use the same tongue to negate the good you have prophesied on them, or else
you will truncate their tomorrow. Parents have to be very cautious here,
because Satan will sometimes use your children to provoke you to anger so that
you will begin to call them names and pronounce curses on them. Bless your
children. Never curse them. They are your future. Cursing them amounts to
destroying your own future. A man
without a future is a great disaster.
Moreover, in our reading today, David received the news that the recovered Ark of God brought blessing to the household of Obededom. He was overwhelmed with joy because this meant the Lord was once again on the side of Israel. He began to celebrate and praise God, dancing before Him with all his strength. After making some offerings, he returned with heavy anointing to bless his household. But Michal rebuked him by saying that he was dancing almost naked and bringing shame to His entire family. David was angry. As a result, the anointing that accompanied him home, which should have terminated the barrenness in Michal’ life turned and made her case incurable.
From this we learn that wives should be very careful with their husbands. The time after your husband or parent separates himself unto God, is not time to speak unadvisedly to him. This is because the anointing that accompanies him can either bless or curse. Ensure you watch your words very carefully and deliberately provoke his blessings. Similarly, any time parents go to spend quality time with God; on their return, should bless their families. Give priority to your wife and children like David.
David provoked God’s anointing through dancing. Do you know you can dance with all your might that you will provoke God’s blessing? You can clap for God to an extent that He will be moved to bless you. Provoke His blessings today!
