“By faith
Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he
went.” Hebrews 11:8(KJV)
The way of
greatness is through the way of faith. If you are going to become great, you
are going to have to go in that direction by faith.
A study was done
on two families in America, the family of Russell who was an atheist and one of
the modern day founders of atheism in America. When they observed his children,
they discovered that almost every child that has come out of that family line
has been an armed robber, a prostitute, etc. When they did a study on the family
of Jonathan Edward, a minster of the gospel, they noticed that everyone that
has come out from that family has either been a Vice President or somebody
responsible in the society. Why? It was because the man brought a move of God
to America at a particular time so God owed him to preserve his generation.
Are you
sincerely committed to God? Is all your heart in your service to Him? If it is,
it will reflect in your seed. The Bible says in Proverbs 11:21, “Though
hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of
the righteous shall be delivered.”
God told Abraham
in Genesis 12:1-2, “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I
will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation…” This means that as you
follow God by faith, He will make of you a great nation. You won’t need to be
praying, “O God, let my children be great.” God Himself will ensure that your
children are great. All He wants you to do is follow Him. When you do, the
Bible says, “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and
make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that
bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of
the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3.
PRAYER
Dear
Father as I commit my heart to follow you in faith as the Father’s of faith
did, may your blessing be activated in my life to produce greatness and
productivity not only in my life but also in the lives of my seed, in Jesus
Name. Amen.

DOING THE WORD

to worry over any of you children but declare the blessing over their lives.
