WHY GOD GIVES TO ALL - Full of Them Series 003
Psalm 127:4-5, NLT
"Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates."
There's a reason why God gives to all of us. It is so that none will appear before Him empty handed. It's also the reason I'm perceiving God might want to give to you too.
It's so that when asked or when requested of, you can bring forth one or two from your quiver or from in-between your knees. God does not want you to be without feedback. Effective communication is said to have taken place when a feedback or response is received. In same manner, you cannot be deemed to be effective or responsive until you have children that can answer for you. God wants to give you yours. It is the will of God for you in particular to be blessed and to carry yours. God shall not withhold any good thing from you. "Any good thing" the Bible says.
Psalms 34:10, KJV
"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing."
Psalms 84:11, KJV
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
YOU are both a God seeker and an upright man. Today, God wants to give you so that by that one or two issues you will have, you'll be able to wrought and defend His will at the gates.
What God is looking for are representatives of Him and His values everywhere. He's looking for those to reproduce Himself through and thereby pass Himself to generations to come. If you'll stand well as one through whom God could pass Himself to your kids, why won't God give you two or more? Why won't God fill your quiver with them? He knows that having children won't be for show or the afflicting of the barren as Penninah did to Hannah (I Samuel 1:6). He rather knows that your having a child will be to be able to stand unashamed and speak with the enemies in the gate. If there's one enemy that we are called to confront and destroy his work, it is Satan. Jesus manifested for that purpose and everytime we realize sonship, we ought to be destroying - wearing out, tearing down, degrading and making null the works of the devil.
I John 3:8, KJV
"...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."
God has found no other to use than human beings or vessels sold or given to Him. Those God would likely find readily available and useful are those who have been raised with that mindset and for that purpose. That's the purpose those children in your home should serve. That's the purpose those kids in-between your knees must discharge at growing up and realization of themselves. It doesn't necessarily mean becoming pulpit ministers but rather fulfilling same purpose irrespective of where they are. Nothing else. Just that.
May God open our eyes to see that God is raising seeds for Himself at this particular moment. You must know the time that has come upon the world just like our theme for Year 2025 says, "We Know Our Time." At this time, God is seeking those who can go around, bring the challenge to the enemy and destroy his work wherever they find it. Will God find you and your seeds useful?
PRAYER: Lord, I accept your will over me and my kids. I submit to it. Be it unto us according to your word.
