(01-05-2010) Psalms 127:3-5 (Living) Children are a gift from the Lord. The one who gives us children also tells us how to train these children to grow in the ways of the Lord. The Bible is like the manufacturer's manual.
Psalms 112:1-2 The children of the upright shall be blessed. My children shall be mighty upon the earth – not naughty upon the earth. I expect my children to hold important positions on the earth.
Genesis 27:2-12, 25-38 Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Esau knew the importance of a blessing.
Jacob had to cheat Esau out of his blessings. Blessings empower us to prosper and succeed while curses empower people to fail.
Jacob, "I will never let you go unless you bless me."
Matthew 19:13-15 Jesus blessed the children. "In the name of Jesus Christ I pronounce the Lord's blessings upon you. You shall stay in good health. You shall grow with good parental care. You shall be wise in school. You will grow to be mighty upon the earth. In the name of Jesus, you are blessed."
Rebekah did not have authority to bless the children, only Isaac did. Even in Matthew, we see that the parents could not bless their own children, they brought them to Jesus.
Blessing includes protection and prosperity.
