"The Making of a Man" - Part 1

"Giving Birth To A Prince"

Is your Father a King? Are you a King’s daughter?  If your father is a King and you are his daughter, then what role do you play in His Kingdom?

“My heart is indicting a good matter:  I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer…Kings’ daughters were among thy honorable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen (Sheba) in gold of Ophir. Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty:  for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.  And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.” Psalm 45:1,9-12

“The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.  She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.  With gladness and rejoicing shall thy be brought:  they shall enter into the king’s palace.” Psalm 45:13-15
 
“Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.  I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.”  Psalm 45:16-17
 
The king’s daughter will place the affection, love, respect, and knowledge that she has for her father and obtained from her father upon her children.  With the wisdom and understanding she has received, she will make princes of her sons.  They will become leaders and rulers in the land, leaving behind them a legacy that will caused her name to remembered throughout all generations.  Ruth is an excellent example of a woman who put something into her son Obed the father of Jesse, who sired a son named David, the greatest King who ever lived.  King David sired a son named Solomon, the wisest King who ever reigned.  In addition, King Solomon manifested the glory of God’s Kingdom upon the earth—the queen of Sheba fainted when she saw all that her ears had heard.  Her proverbial words still ring in our ears today, “the half was never told.”  What did these princesses place into the hearts of their children?
 
Isaiah 13:12 reads, “I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man that the golden wedge of O’phir.”
 
Herein lies the goal that should be in the heart of every blood bought mother who is the daughter of  Adonai our King.  When God gives her her hearts desire—a son, she should understand she has just been given the responsibility of raising a Prince.  One who has been chosen to lead or rule in some capacity, be it in the ministry or a profession God has chosen for him as the head and not the tail.
 
The first and most important understanding that you, as a mother or potential mother, must drive deep, deep into your nefesh (soul) is that you are not another woman.  You are not just an irrelevant number in society.  You are part of a royal priesthood and a holy nation.  The matriarchs (Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah) that go before you are royal women of faith. Sarah followed a man called to stand against the whole world and say, “Shema Israel Adonai Eloheynu Adonai Eachad.”  She laughed at God’s word, but birthed the promise whom through the Messiah would come—Isaac.  Isaacs’ wife Rebecca, whose exemplary show of servanthood turned a prayer into a promise, was a woman who unswervingly held onto the word of God concerning her younger son and the birthright.  Rachel the wife of Jacob birthed Joseph who became a prince of Egypt, as well as Benjamin, who fathered the tribe that gave us Jewish Apostle Paul.  Leah, a woman who experienced the untold depths of rejection, became the mother of Judah—the tribe that would sire the Messiah. 
 
Then there was Ruth the mother of Obed, the grandmother of Jesse, the father of King David—“a man after God’s own heart,” the grandfather of King Solomon. 
 
All of these women led lives that consisted of daily responsibilities, confrontations, and dreams.  The difference between them and the other women the lived during their time is that they were called, chosen to be part of God’s plan for mankind.  They were called out to sojourn with their husband’s.  They became Hebrew women—women who stood with their husbands on the opposite side believing and holding fast to the Tenets of one God and to the promise of his coming kingdom.  They instilled a passion to follow Elohim Adonai (the LORD God) into their children.  They knew who they were, what their purpose was, and what they were called to do and they did it.  I am sure it was not without the same questions and heartaches that called women face today, but at the same time there was unwavering faith and a back bone that said, whatever it takes I am going to do it.
 
You are not just another mom shouldering the responsibilities of motherhood.  You are a princess, a daughter of a king who is constantly being refined to reflect your father, the King, and the kingdom he rules over.  You carry upon your shoulders not only the glory of His kingdom, but the responsibility of rearing children that represent and rule/lead in the kingdom that you are an heir too.
 
I recall two single mothers raising their daughters in our local congregation.  One sacrificed much for her daughter’s education and welfare.  She escorted her daughter to all her functions and stood behind her through thick and thin.  Her daughter is happily married to a fine young prince who is a leader in our congregation.  The other left her mother to raise her daughter while she pursued her own desires.  The result was disastrous.  Not only is her daughter not serving the LORD, but she herself has had to flee from the answer to her desires, because on numerous occasions he has tried to kill her.
 
God has put the future of your son into your hands—choose daily who he will serve!
 
What was the difference in the two women?  One understood her responsibilities as a Kings’ daughter and the other did not.
