The position of the firstborn is the spearhead. He or she becomes the first parenting guinea pig on whose account several lessons learnt would be used to fine tune the parenting of the others. Whereas, some other children come after the Lord had greatly blessed and increased their parents, more often than not, the growing days of the firstborn child are in the midst of their parents' several wilderness journeys to the land of Canaan.
The weight of the uniqueness of the very first and eldest child is very pronounced and seem to be so enormous that if such a child is correct, the tendency or probability, that all the others would turn out fine, is very high. As a result of all the above, no one faces the attack of the enemy in this life like the firstborn child.
This is why you must pray!
