Psalm 1:1-6 (NKJV)
1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
3He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
3He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
1. There is a clear demarcation between homes that are truly established in Christ and those that are established in wickedness. The result of whatever choice of home we choose is right before us, and this choice is expected to carry us till eternity.
2. The struggle between sin and GRACE continues (Genesis 3:15), based on our choice – our homes may experience freedom in Christ or bondage from the devil. It is only homes that are truly driven by the standard of heaven that can experience the fullness of God in every area.
3. Homes that have been made the seat of wickedness of whatever form have fallen below the standard of godly homes. These homes find ways and means to support unrighteous acts in an attempt to help others.
What is controlling your home - the WORD or the world?
What is God's Word to my home?
What do I make of God's Word in my home?
What place does God's Word have in my home?
PRAYER
- CONFESS HOUSEHOLD SINS AND REPENT ON BEHALF OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY...
- Lord, please have mercy on us and cleanse us from all forms of defilement. Make my home Your abode and not the centre of gossip. Lord, be the centre, the decision and the decision-maker.
- Let there be a clear demarcation between righteousness and unrighteousness in my home. Make Your light shine in all matters of my home and be our vision as a family.
- Let Your presence make the difference in my home at all times. Keep my household near the CROSS and establish us in the way of CALVARY and in the power of Your WORD.
- Lord, as a family, help us to walk in the reality of the freedom the CROSS has given us over sin and all forms ungodliness. Establish us in Your righteousness.
