[Genesis 22:16-18 KJV] “And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord , for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son : [17] That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; [18] And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice”.
As descendants of Abraham, there is a blessing and covenant left for us. A blessing that together with our descendants we shall possess the gates of our enemies, and be a blessing to all nations. None of us must be father a weak child, or fail in life. Together with our progeny, we must possess the gates of the enemy. We must be mighty men and women, and fathers and mothers to mighty men and women as well. Our children must make it, they cannot fail in life.
If we shall possess the gates of our enemy indeed, then four things are key:
- The right upbringing
- The right attitudes towards life
- The anointing
- The right network and company
These are the four things that will empower and equip us to possess the gates of the enemy.
1. We must train, retrain, and train and train again:
The Bible tells us to train up a child the way he should go and when he grows up, he will not depart from it. This shows clearly that children will not just grow into great adults; they must be raised. What training are we giving to our children? Are we training them, or we have just left them? Please remember that schools do not train children; parents do. Let us arise and begin to train and raise our kings and priests of the next generation. Be committed to training.
2. Be courageous and positive:
The Bible tells us again that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Your children’s outlook to life will affect their behavior and how well they can cope with what life throws at them.
May the Lord help us to have the right attitude towards life. May you build a strong spirit that cannot easily be broken. May we raise strong and mighty children. I pray that you keep hope alive.
3. Seek to be anointed:
We need the anointing and the Holy Ghost. The Bible tells us that we shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon us. The anointing is what it takes to act as a different man. The anointing transforms us into supernatural personalities. The anointing is the enabling factor that transforms men and women into giant-killers. We must teach our children the secrets to the anointing, and teach them to love the presence of God.
4. Finally, avoid all evil communications:
Evil communication corrupts good manners. The Bible says that, “he that is friends with a harlot is a great waster;” and “he that is friends with an angry man will learn of his ways and be destroyed”. Your network will determine your net worth. Be careful of the kind of company that you allow yourself or your children to keep. Evil company will corrupt your good nurtured children.
Listen! Science is advancing, witches are also progressing, yet many in the church are backsliding. The time has come, and now is, for us to arise and progress towards dominion. This is the time to rise and desire and find power. I pray that each of us will arise as a mother and raise children who can possess the gates of their enemies. God loved Abraham because he led his children after God. May you be strong enough to lead your children after God. Be blessed.
I love you;
