God is committed to our Homes in every area. Our part of the commitment is to know Him and serve Him as the only ONE and TRUE GOD. Anything contrary to this will bring about self-destruction and attract the wrath of God.
God warns against serving any other god apart from Him – in form of family possessions, family idols or family worship. Exodus 23:24-25.
Exchanging the holy for the defiled, or mixing the two will open the door to family adversaries and activities of hell in our Homes.
*Inability to control our Homes in Christ will bring the 'beast' into our Homes*
God's judgement is upon the defilers of the families of God (Homes established in Christ). Therefore all the strange gods that we do not spare in our Homes will be taken care of when God visits- Jeremiah 10:10-11.
Prayer:
2nd Kings 17: 24-28
- Lord, please help my Home to focus on You as the ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD. Help us to trust You all the way for our family needs in every area. Let us know what is expected of us as a family of God – release divine instructions to everyone in my household. Take us back to the place of giving honour and quality worship to You.
- Lord, rid my Home of any self-worship or family religion/idols. Destroy all forms of customs that are not traceable to You. Pull down any strange altar(s) operating in my Home.
- Lord, cleanse my Home from any lesser gods on assignment or those that are operating quietly in my family. Stop the activities of all household wickedness in my home.
- Lord, dethrone any direct or indirect idols that I have served, or offered untoYou knowingly or unknowingly. From now on Lord, please be the centre of my Home. Help us individually to know and serve You as THE TRUE GOD and then as a family. Teach us to know what to believe and how to behave as the family of God.
