-19 A FAMILY IN CRISIS
(Jacob)
GEN. 18:19... FOR I KNOW HIM, THAT HE WILL COMMAND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD AFTER HIM, AND THEY SHALL KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD.
The main building block of a godly society is the family. No wonder Satan is working so hard to destroy it. If he can destroy the family, he will greatly inhibit the effectiveness of the Church and eventually weaken the nation until it collapses.
The main building block of a strong family is Christ. Therefore, we must find ways to minister to the whole family and bring them together in Christ. They must see that if they are too busy to follow Christ, they are to busy.
We need to prayerfully ask ourselves, “what can I do in order to walk closer to God than I am now?” We must commit ourselves to doing whatever He asks, and determine that we will not make excuses for why we can’t fulfill what He asks of us. God will never ask more from us than what He is willing to enable us to accomplish in His strength.
It is important to make sure that our families are a part of this effort. Set a time to discuss together what you can do as a family to draw closer to God. Know that this will most likely require sacrifices from everyone; there, you need to be the first to establish sacrifices you are willing to make in order to accomplish this. One of the most important things we can do in a family is to lead by example.
Bring back the family dinner table and eat together, that is when we had a lot of family fellowship at what we call, (Supper time) Bring back the family altar and spend some time reading the Word together, I know that is where we, and a lot of people have failed to bring up their children in the right way. We need time to have Bible study with our children and make it a happy time, not a hum drum time.
God help us all and forgive where we have failed you and bring our loved ones back to you, we are entering the beginning of the last days, and it is going to be too late to get them in, let us do it now.
In Christ I pray.
