Blessing Your Children\/Family<\/b><\/p>\n
A blessing is different from a prayer.<\/p>\n
As parents, it is critically important for us to ask God\u2019s blessing over our children DAILY.<\/p>\n
Although Christians have been given a method\/formula in how to pray by Jesus…The Lord’s Prayer…found in the Gospel of Matthew 6:9\u201313, it may not be as clear how to ask for God\u2019s blessing. However, here is a popular, yet ancient, method of how to ask for God\u2019s blessing. You may have heard of an example of asking for God\u2019s blessing found in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 referred to as the \u201cPrayer of Jabez\u201d made popular by the book The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life<\/b><\/em>, an inspirational book published in 2000 by Bruce Wilkinson as the first book in the “BreakThrough” book series.\u00a0 This provides a good template for asking for God’s blessing over someone.\u00a0 My version of how to do this is below.<\/p>\n Here is what I have used for years while usually physically holding\/touching my sons or daughter, \u201cFather God, I ask You to bless my beautiful son, Alex, in a powerful way. Father God I ask for your super-natural blessing over this boy. I ask that You cause him to grow in a way today, God, that is pleasing to You and that he becomes more of the servant You have created him to be. I ask that Your hand be on him and show him great favor. I ask that You give him a sword and shield to protect against and to fight-off any deception, any infliction or infirmity that would otherwise keep away from your will Father. I ask that You give Him Your wisdom and peace today. Father I ask for Your blessing in Your precious son Jesus\u2019 name. Amen!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n Regardless of how you ask God to bless your children (and\/or your spouse, your extended family, your business and etc.), it is important that you do it every day YOU would like to SEE THEM BLESSED. Of course, you can skip the days where you don’t want them blessed. (Just kidding. \ud83d\ude42 This is why I suggest everyday.)<\/p>\n This week\u2019s challenge is designed for you to bless your children<\/em>. If you do not have children to ask a blessing over, may I suggest you ask for God\u2019s blessing over your parents and\/or siblings.<\/p>\n Your challenge is:<\/p>\n This is going to be extremely challenging for those of you who have estranged relationships from your children\/adult children\/parents, but DO IT ANYWAY. Remember, part of having grateful wealth is being the BEST you were created to be\u2026REGARDLESS of how painful or difficult. Make the decision to do whatever it takes to SUCCEED AT THIS CHALLENGE. DO NOT FAIL HERE. NO EXCUSES!<\/p>\n Lastly, I want to encourage you to extend this challenge to include your business! You might be amazed at how HE releases His favor. <\/em>Remember, God is ALWAYS ON TIME! So if you don\u2019t get what appears to be a miraculous change in your business or relationship with your son\/daughter\/grandchild etc, please know that asking God to bless them is not going in vain and will prove to make an incredible impact…at the exact perfect time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blessing Your Children\/Family A blessing is different from a prayer.
