Honoring the Family

 

The family is under attack like never before. Marriages are in conflict, the divorce rate is increasing, and children are disconnected from their parents. Now more than ever, we need to restore honor back into the family. But restoring honor in the family begins with the men because men are to be the spiritual leaders of the home. If we are going to see a restoration and revival of the famiuly, then men must take the lead in this restoration process. It is time for men to step up to be the spiritual protectors, providers, and leaders that God has ordained them to be. I truly believe that inside every man, is a desire for greatness and honor, and the greatest place for that honor to be released is in his marriage and in his family. In Judges 6:11-12, we see that Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. An angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, "The Lord is with you, might warrior", "O mighty man of valor". What was Gideon doing? He was protecting and providing for his family. And as a result, he was called a mighty warrior and a man of valor! But what does valor mean? It means boldness or determination in facing great danger, especially in battle. It is heroic courage. It is bravery That is a summary of the high and noble calling every man of God has - to be one who is marked by his strength and courage to fight for his marriage in the physical realm. We ask you to join us this month in praying for the restoration of honor in the families around the world. Pray that marriages would be healed, families would be restored, and the next generation would have a healthy and holy example of what godly families look like. There is always hope in Christ. And when His people pray, change will happen. So let us pray in hope and with faith, that the family will be revived again.
