”And she said unto him, My Lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.“
1 Kings 1:17 KJV
“My master,” she said, “you promised me in God’s name, ‘Your son Solomon will be king after me and sit on my throne.’ Here was another one of David’s sons, Adonijah, ready to snatch the kingship even while David was alive. The prophetic word from God had come for Solomon to succeed David. Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother, rushed to remind David when she saw how the throne of David was being manoeuvred away from Solomon. The prophetic words are God’s promises to us from the One Who is a covenant keeping God. Mothers and fathers are to protect the prophetic word of God over their children. It is a God-given responsibility. Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. God asks us to dedicate our children to God and point them in the way that they should go, and the values they’ve learned from us will be with them for life. Then our children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of our children. They will honour their father and mother so that all will go well with them. Let’s allow the prophetic word of God in our children to be fruitful. Amen!
