And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. Deuteronomy 28:13
Prayer and declaration: Heavenly Father, this morning as I bring my children before You, I thank You for the revelation of the word of God that they carry. Lord, I thank You for it is You who have planted these seeds of Your word in them. Lord, as they start this new school year, I pray that You will give my children the grace to be like the wise man who built his house on the Rock: ones who have not just heard the word, but ones who put the word of God into practice. Lord, even as my children “observe” to live in obedience to Thy word, I make this declaration over them, “this school year the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath”. Lord, I thank you that this school year will be a season of promotion and elevation for my children. In Jesus’ precious name, amen.
