My Simple Prayer

Father, All I want tonight is to behold Your face. Not a bigger ministry, not my dream job, not a promotion, not more money, not more friends, not more power, not even healings or miracles. Show me Face Daddy God, You are all I need.

The Father's Blessing

Your father’s blessings are greater 
than the blessings of the ancient mountains, 
than the bounty of the age-old hills. 
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, 
on the brow of the prince among his brothers. Genesis 49:26

What was true for Joseph the Dreamer is also true for us today. I will not mince words further but just share a heartfelt prayer of blessing given by my spiritual father since my university years and my mentor, Paul Yadao.

 

The Father’s Blessing

- By Paul Yadao

My precious son, My adorable daughter. You are My beloved child. I am so pleased with you for you are Mine and I am yours. You are My masterpiece. You are my priceless treasure. My love for you is pure, unchanging and eternal. I love you not for what you can do for Me, I love you because of who you are- You are My child and you are Mine.

I have known you even before time began. I have chosen you before creation. I know every inch of you for I have formed you in your mother’s womb. I delight in you. I celebrate you. I like everything about you. You are never an accident. You are not a mistake. You are My dream fulfilled. I am acquainted in all of yours ways for I am always with you and I will always be for you. I know when you rise up and when you lie down. I know your deepest thoughts, longings and desires for I surround your with My Presence and My love every moment of your life. Whenever I gaze at your face My heart rises with joy and adoration. Oh, you are so beautiful, you are so lovely for you are My child and you are Mine.

I have great dreams for you more than you can ever ask or imagine. I know My plans for you and I am committed to see all of them come to pass. I have created you for victory, for greatness and for My glory. I have prepared everything for you to succeed. My greatest joy is to see you shine with My goodness and My glory. I am inviting you to dream My dreams for you. Come My child, together let us transform this world with My Love flowing in and through you.

In Jesus Christ My Begotten Son, you are Royalty. I see the prince in you. I see the princess in you. You have My DNA. I am your Father-King. You have full access to My Kingdom. I have made you co-heirs with My Son. Everything that is Mine is His and all that is His is yours. I have placed in you the Spirit of My Son that in Him you may cry out ‘Abba, Father!’ And I will always hear you and be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake. For I am your Father and you are My beloved child.

Just I have bestowed on Jesus the Father’s Blessing when He was being baptized, I now declare over you before the heavenly hosts and before all of My creation, “You are My beloved son, you are My beloved daughter. I love you and I am well pleased with you. You are Mine and I am forever yours. In My blessing is My Favor, My Affirmation, My Love, My Provision, My Approval, My Protection, and My Grace for you to be what I have called you to be and to do. As I sent Jesus to this world with My full blessing and support, I now commission you to live in fullness, in abundance, and in My extravagant Love. I release you to be a blessing to all, to serve with passion, to love without condition and to transform this world with My glory.
