That is the same reason he sought to kill Jesus as a baby. He knows the impact that this baby will have if he\/she is to become all that God has created him\/her to become, hell&#8217;s gates will be shaken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Myles_Munroe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr Myles Munroe<\/a> put it best. The seed of everything is in itself. When we look at a seed, we see a seed but in it are trees and fruit. When God looks at you, he sees what he put in you, not just the seed that may be planted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take any baby for granted. In them is the seed for leadership. There is the seed for influence. Some have <a href=\"https:\/\/prayerrelay.com\/prayer-points-for-seed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seed<\/a> for ministry. Yet many of these will die without ever fulfilling that potential. It is our role as parents, guardians and <a href=\"https:\/\/prayerrelay.com\/pray-with-love\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christians as a whole to guard these gifts in prayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most parents never realise that they have this role. I want to challenge you to take a different perspective on this. Seeing as you are reading this post, I would like to believe that you are taking an important step towards this role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you got through scripture, you will not that parents and grandparents would always speak over their children. They guided them in worlds and in affirmations. Their words stood! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Declarations\"><\/span>Declarations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_63 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-660dcac0574b8\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-660dcac0574b8\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prayerrelay.com\/prayer-new-bor%e2%80%8bn-baby\/#Declarations\" title=\"Declarations\">Declarations<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prayerrelay.com\/prayer-new-bor%e2%80%8bn-baby\/#1st_Prayer_for_a_new_born_baby\" title=\"1st Prayer for a new born baby\">1st Prayer for a new born baby<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prayerrelay.com\/prayer-new-bor%e2%80%8bn-baby\/#Lord_Protect_My_Child\" title=\"Lord Protect My Child\">Lord Protect My Child<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prayerrelay.com\/prayer-new-bor%e2%80%8bn-baby\/#Guard_Your_Heart\" title=\"Guard Your Heart\">Guard Your Heart<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prayerrelay.com\/prayer-new-bor%e2%80%8bn-baby\/#Teach_Me\" title=\"Teach Me\">Teach Me<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prayerrelay.com\/prayer-new-bor%e2%80%8bn-baby\/#Hide_Your_Word_in_My_Heart\" title=\"Hide Your Word in My Heart\">Hide Your Word in My Heart<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<ul><li>In the name of Jesus, I declare that this child will live to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.<\/li><li>This child will live full and die empty.
