Proverbs 2:1-9; Genesis 49:22
Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall (Genesis 49:22).

I strongly believe that this is the generation that will break barriers. We are seeing this already as we witness the rise of

many young entrepreneurs and scientists around the globe making new waves. They are anointed to be Josephs in this generation. They walk in unusual wisdom, creativity and dedication. Their ideas make past generations’ ideas to be nothing in comparison.

Yet, it is God that planned it. Some of them might have been wounded by the arrows of the enemy who seeks to take them captive, but I believe God will catch up with our youths and cause them to begin to ride on high places we have never seen before.

Our kids are strong at heart notwithstanding the satanic attacks on their minds and emotions. Through prayers and consistent counseling, many of them would return to the Lord. Like Joseph, God will raise our youths as the next generation of wise men and women.

The enemy thought he could derail them but God will make them “A fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall” (Genesis 49:22). What the enemy meant for evil will work for their good.  God will penetrate the fashion, music and technology industries and turn them around for their good.

As parents and leaders our duty is to continue to pray for them.

God will handle the rest. Shalom.

Your Turn
