Thank you for following The Anointed Pen: Writing as a Sacred Call for Kingdom Influence series.
I truly appreciate you for joining me on this journey to uncover the significance of being a Kingdom writer.
Our focus for this month of April is:
Writing as Spiritual Warfare: The Power of Words to Shape the Spiritual Atmosphere
Our topic for this week is:
The Scrolls of Destiny — Writing to Preserve and Build Generations
Every generation lives and breathes on the foundation of the words recorded before it. Long before the printing press or modern publishing, God was already writing, inscribing destiny into stone, scripting lineage in genealogies, and commanding prophets to “write the vision” for the sake of the future.
The pen of a kingdom writer is more than ink and paper. It is a scroll of destiny. A tool God uses to preserve truth, awaken identity, and build generational continuity.
Writing as Preservation
In Deuteronomy 6:6-9, God gave a direct command to His people:
“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children… Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
Why? Because what is not written is easily forgotten.
Writing preserves the move of God, the testimonies of deliverance, the patterns of instruction, and the values that shape a people. Without preservation, the next generation is left vulnerable to confusion and disconnection from their spiritual heritage.
Your writing is not just about your present voice; it is an ark that carries truth across the waters of time.
Writing to Build Generations
The psalmist declares in Psalm 102:18:
“Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord.”
Every page you write in obedience to God becomes a stone in the foundation of future faith. Your journaled prayers, your devotionals, your Spirit-breathed teachings, they are bricks in a house someone else will live in.
Kingdom writers must begin to see their work as legacy architecture. We are not simply authors, we are builders.
We are not just expressing ourselves; we are encoding Kingdom truth into formats that the next generation can eat, digest, and run with.
The Prophetic Nature of Scrolls
In Ezekiel 2:9–10, the prophet sees a scroll:
“Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll… and on both sides were written words of lament and mourning and woe.”
Scrolls in Scripture were often prophetic documents, containing divine words to warn, prepare, rebuke, and restore. In the same way, God places scrolls in the hands of modern-day scribes—writers called to speak truth in love, and to write as watchmen, intercessors, and midwives for what God is birthing.
Your writing may carry prophetic weight even you don’t fully understand yet. But heaven knows the assignment.
Three Reflections for the Kingdom Writer
-
Who are you writing for beyond your generation?
Is it your children? Your spiritual lineage? A nation yet to be birthed in righteousness? -
What scroll has heaven placed in your hand?
Have you discerned the burden behind your message? The cry behind the call? -
Are you writing with legacy in mind—or just relevance?
Legacy is eternal. Relevance fades. Kingdom writers build what lasts.
Final Charge:
Write not just to be read, but to be remembered.
Write not just to inform, but to preserve.
Write not just to influence, but to build.
You are holding a scroll of destiny. It may look like a notebook, a blog post, a manuscript, or even a caption. But if God breathed on it, it’s sacred.
Now write.
