A Prayer for Families

TOPIC - A Prayer for Families

BIBLE TEXT - How happy are those who fear the Lord—all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How happy you will be! How rich your life! Your wife will be like a fruitful vine, flourishing within your home. And look at all those children! There they sit around your table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees. . . . May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. - Psalm 128:1-3, 6

These verses paint a picture of a godly family living under the Lord’s authority and protection: parents who follow his ways and fear God, a wife who flourishes, children growing up with hope and promise for the future. History shows that when there is peace and order in families, that peace ripples out to the church, the city, the state, and the nation. Unfortunately, this isn’t the picture of most homes today. Instead, families are disintegrating on every side; children are troubled; the culture is in a downward moral slide.

But thanks be to God, He has an answer! He is the answer for our families. And His heart and desire for families is still the same—to live in simple joy, order, and harmony; to enjoy the fruit of our labor; and to follow His ways. Do you know a family that needs God’s help? Pray this psalm as your prayer for them and for your own family today.

PRAYER

LORD, our families need you. Please bless our family and teach us to fear you and follow your ways! May the light from our family bless our church, city, state, and nation. Today I pray for [insert family’s name]. They are hurting and need to know you and your plan for them. Draw their hearts to you and give them faith so that they can experience the richness of life you promise to those who fear you.

INSIGHT

The future of the church and the future of humanity depend in great part on parents and on the family life they build in their homes. The family is the true measure of the greatness of a nation.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
