THE CHILD OF MY VOWS - Vow Series 011
Proverbs 31:1-4, KJV
"1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink."
There's a thing like the child of my vows. It may be a son or a daughter but a child of vows is basically this. It is such child that you pray to God to have. It should be noted that many vowed when they got to the last bus stop - where what should work or was working for others didn't work for them. So, they prayed to God to receive what was natural receiving for others. At least, we have seen Hannah exemplifies this. Penninah didn't pray to have all her children. As the husband knows her, she was conceiving but for someone like Hannah, it didn't work that way. In thorough search and desire for a child, she made a vow. She hooked up with God in an agreement. She's demanding God to be obligated to her. So, Samuel is a fitting child of vows. The child of your vows is an answer to prayer and then a child of dedication. Those who get children from supposed gods or goddesses are another example of this. That child is a dedicated child to that spirit. He or she must return constantly to do oblation to that spirit and acknowledge its lordship over him. That same spirit protects that child and sees to his or her things. That spirit could even be giving her demonic results and assistance over her peers. Why? She's not alone. She's not her owner. A being has a responsibility over her as long as she keeps what was vowed.
There's no child of vow that is not born into an obligation. This is where parents must not be at fault but rather call them into such obligation which hovers on them and runs ahead of them. These verses are inspired passage that a mother taught her son. Debates have been ongoing that it was taught King Solomon while another says King of Massa. Irrespective of who this was taught, such was a child of vows and the mother or queen mother was such a responsible one.
She admonished this young man and king not to give his strength to women nor indulge in drinking. These are the pitfalls of males. If you find a male who never has been entangled sexually before, God be praised. Many at early stage of their lives begin to entangle themselves with the opposite sex. They get distracted and they're slowed down from pursuing destiny and reaching destination faster. Any who gives his strength to women is such that has made chasing girls his hobby. You could call him a high ragamuffin who does girls. Not only that, he also does drinks. He takes all sorts of hard drinks to prove he's a real man. What a deception! All these are characteristics of many men without. That mother warned her child, no, no King Lemuel, this isn't a path for you to thread. The mother intimately called him by saying, "hearken to me the child of my vows." That he was a child of vows means he can't live the life he wanted. He has to live a leaned down life, consecrated life, separated life and vowed life. There's no child of vows that doesn't have a mandate. As he or she is being born, he is born into that mandate and that's what he grows up into. Just like this Queen mother called King Lemuel to the expectation and mandate over him, God is also calling you to a fact that, "it is not for you to do certain things or live certain life." If it was not for Lemuel to give her strength to women or indulge in hard drinks, if you're such a special child, prayed for before receiving, you ought to know you shouldn't be a disgrace and eye sore to your parents who thirst a lot before God granted you to them. Always live in the jurisdiction of the vows. That's your safety. Doing this, you won't be an eye sore to your parents nor to God but instead their comfort.
PRAYER: Pray for all children of vows who are under siege of the devil that God would retrieve them.
