The Power of the Spoken Word

I got my daughter's result today and she had straight distinctions in all her subjects, which was an improvement from last term. Just as soon as I was happy, a though came to me and I started digressing. Could this result be this good because her teacher favoured her? Is she really that brighter than the other kids in the class? All these and more ran through my mind until I spoke with a bestie of mine.

From our conversation, I realised how ungrateful I am for having a brilliant daughter.
I realised how many mothers have killed their children's intelligence due to false humility... Now that's deep!

I realised whatever I taught her was minimal to what the Holy Spirit could have, afterall I confess that my children are taught ofthe Lord and great is their peace.

In her words to me.... 'So why am I saying this, sometimes our kids are really geniuses, let's never try to downplay it in some false humility mode or because we don't want to appear proud or whatever....... be grateful and keep working at it. Be super grateful!'
And my response? Forgive me Lord for forgetting that I am only a caregiver to your daughter and that you are capable of making your children the best. 
I also remember I lead her in confessions to say "I am a Genius because I'm Jesus' baby"

What I learnt from this? God has said the best things concerning us as his children, those words have no potency until we BELIEVE and SAY them. Most times, we say and don't believe or we believe and we don't say. One can't work without the other, for with the heart man believes and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation...  Couples, it's time to agree what you want your children to be, lay out a confession plan for them as they grow older and never doubt the results that comes with it. 

The question is, would you believe the results when they come? Better get ready to receive what you believe and say, just as I have received my daughter's result! Getting ready to give her some treat, just as I know God has some treats planned out for his children this season.

Happy Easter peeps!
