Only a few children have
received the blessing given by a loving and caring father’s spoken words. Many
have grown up without such a blessing that Jacob and others spoke over their
sons. I assume this included their daughters. My father was a good man and a
good provider but never took me aside, laying hands on me and asking the Lord
God Almighty to lead me, guide me and bless me as I grew into manhood. His
father probably never spoke such a blessing over him as a child.
These powerful words, when
spoken from a father’s heart over his children, will bring them awesome
blessings and guidance in this present age that is filled with wrong role
models, crime, wars, confusion, spiritual deception, witchcraft and curses.
Fathers take notice: ask the Lord to prepare your heart and the
hearts of your children to receive this wonderful blessing. If there is no
father in the family the mother should ask the Lord to provide a loving male family member
or male church leader to speak this blessing over her children. God will bless
you as you bless your children, whatever age. God will honor your words as you
speak them over your children in His name.
