20 Unbeatable Importance of Family to GOD

Importance of family to God is so crucial because it is the first institution on earth. But developments in marriage since the middle of the 20th century show that in many nations, marriages are becoming less common. Youths marry later, unmarried couples are increasingly choosing to live together, and many are involved in single parenthood.

This trend is heartbreaking because it violates the importance of family, and it is the cause of disunity and insecurity in the society. Please, let us stand against the abomination of same-sex marriage introduced into the church. Today’s message throws more light about importance of family to God and your role as a Christian to fulfil God’s desire.  

20 Cogent Importance of Family to GOD

1. God Created the Family Unit

The family was the first institution God established. In Genesis 1:28, God instructed Adam and Eve to “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” This shows that family is foundational to His design.

2. Marriage is Reflection of God’s Love

The love shared within families reflects God’s unconditional love for His children. Ephesians 5:25 compares a husband’s love for his wife to Christ’s love for the Church.

3. Family is a Training Ground for Faith

Family is where faith is nurtured. Proverbs chapter 22 verse 6 says: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

4. The Source of Spiritual Heritage

Through families, faith is passed down. Paul writes to Timothy in Second letter to Timothy chapter 1 verse 5 about the “sincere faith” of his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice.

5. A Place of Unity

Psalm 133 verse 1 declares, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.” God designed the importance of family to sustain unity on earth.

6. Importance of Family is its Support System

Ecclesiastes chapter 4 verse 9 and 10 emphasizes the strength in companionship: “Two are better than one…if either of them falls, one can help the other up.” Families embody this principle.

7. Family is a Model of Forgiveness

Families are where we learn forgiveness, as God forgives us. Colossians 3:13 instructs, “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

8. God’s Command to Honor Parents

Exodus chapter 20 verse12 says: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” This commandment highlights the importance of familial respect.

9. Family is Place for Discipleship

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 encourages families to teach God’s Word: “Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home…”

10. A Source of Blessing

Families are often channels through which God blesses individuals. Psalm 128:3-4 beautifully describes the blessings of family life.

11. Symbolic of God’s Kingdom

The family structure mirrors God’s kingdom, with roles that reflect His divine order (Ephesians 6:1-4).

12. Christian Family is a Safe Haven

Families provide shelter and protection, demonstrating God’s care. Proverbs 14:26 says, “Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.”

13. Family as Context for Covenant

God’s promises often involve families, as seen in His covenant with Abraham in Genesis 17:7.

14. A Testimony to the World

Strong families are a testimony of God’s grace. Matthew 5:16 encourages us to let our light shine before others.

15. A Reminder of Eternal Family

Families remind us of our ultimate home with God, as Jesus says in John chapter 14 verse 2, “My Father’s house has many rooms.”

16. Family is Source of Joy

Proverbs chapter 17 verse 6 says, “Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.” Families are a source of joy and pride.

17. An Example of Service

Families teach selflessness and service, echoing Christ’s servant heart (Philippians 2:3-4).

18. A Place for Prayer

Families gather to seek God together at the family altar, as Jesus assures in Matthew chapter 18 verse 20, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

19. A Reminder of God’s Fatherhood

Earthly families help us understand God as our loving Father, as described in Romans 8:15.

20. A Legacy of Faith

Psalm 145:4 declares, “One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” Families are stewards of God’s legacy.

Through these twenty divine values, you see that family is not just a social construct but a divine gift, deeply rooted in God’s purpose. May you strive to honor and strengthen your families as God intended.

How Can Your Family Implement Divine Values Today?

1. Create a Foundation of Faith: Make prayer, Bible study, and worship a regular part of family life.

2. Prioritize Love and Unity: Show love and respect to one another daily. This could involve speaking kind words, offering encouragement, and resolving conflicts promptly.

3. Lead by Example: Parents can model Christ-like behavior in their actions and decisions. Children often learn more from what they see than what they hear.

4. Teach Forgiveness: Your family should practice forgiving one another, even when it’s hard. Open communication about forgiveness fosters healing and growth.

5. Build a Supportive Environment: Encourage your family members to pursue their God-given talents and dreams while offering help and guidance during challenges.

6. Celebrate Milestones: Recognize achievements or spiritual growth within the family.

7. Serve Together: Engage in acts of service as a family, like volunteering at church or helping neighbors. This cultivates humility and a heart for others.

8. Maintain Open Communication: Create a safe space where everyone can share their thoughts and feelings without judgment. This fosters trust and understanding.

9. Establish Boundaries: Clearly define family values and rules that align with biblical teachings, ensuring each member knows what is expected of them.

10. Pray as a Unit: Regular family prayers not only seek God’s guidance but also reinforce spiritual unity.

By consistently striving to live out these principles, your family can build a legacy of faith and love that honors God and impacts generations to come. Please obey God’s rules about family sustainability so you can be light in the darkness of this world!

Divine Wisdom: 10 Great Ways for Christians to Become Wise!

Divine wisdom is a spiritual gift from the LORD, and it goes beyond human understanding. It enables Christians to discern God’s will, make righteous decisions, and live lives that reflect His glory. Divine wisdom is one of the greatest treasures you can seek because it’s a powerful skill that gives success on earth and in heaven.

If you are not comfortable with your sense of solving complex issues about life, then today’s message will help you to know the dangers and how to receive divine wisdom from the LORD.

Dangers Related to Lack of Wisdom for Christians

1. Falling into Sin: Imprudent Christian cannot discern right from wrong and will always fall repeatedly into temptations.

2. Poor Decision-Making: A lack of divine wisdom often leads to decisions that result in harm to yourself and others.

3. Pride and Arrogance: Proverbs chapter 16 verse 18 says; “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

4. Vulnerability to Deception: Unwise Christians are susceptible to false teachings and worldly ideologies.

5. Emotional Instability: Without wisdom, you may be more prone to fear, anger, or despair, rather than trusting in God’s sovereignty.

6. Destroyed Relationships: Misunderstandings and conflicts can escalate, leading to broken relationships.

7. Financial Mismanagement: You may struggle to manage your resources wisely, leading to financial difficulties.

8. Neglecting God’s Purpose: A lack of divine wisdom can lead to living without clarity about one’s God-given purpose and calling.

9. Spiritual Drift and Manipulation: Without wisdom, you may fail to remain rooted in the Word of God and may drift away from your faith through the influence of false doctrines and Pastors.

10. Missing Out on Eternal Rewards: Foolishness may lead to neglecting the treasures of heaven in favor of fleeting worldly pleasures.

10 Ways Christians Can Attain Divine Wisdom

1. Fear of the Lord

The foundation of divine wisdom is the fear of the Lord. This is not a fear of punishment but a deep reverence and awe for God.

Proverbs chapter 9 verse 10 says: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

2. Ask God for Wisdom in Prayer

James chapter 1 verse 5 says: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

3. Study and Meditate on God’s Word

The Bible is the primary source of divine wisdom. Psalm 119 verse 105 says: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

4. Be Guided by the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, who dwells within Christians, is the source of divine wisdom. John chapter 14 verse 26 says: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

5. Surround Yourself with Wise Counsel

Seeking guidance from spiritually mature and wise Christians can help you grow in their own understanding and discernment. Stay away from Pastors who seek your money!

6. You Must Cultivate a Heart of Obedience

True wisdom is not just knowing God’s will but also doing it. Jesus said in Matthew chapter 7 verse 24: “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

7. Walk in Humility

Proverbs chapter 11 verse 2 says: “When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.”

8. Seek Righteousness

Wisdom will thrive in your life if you pursue righteousness and shuns sin.

Proverbs chapter 2 verse 6 and 7 says: “For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.”

9. Learn from Your Trials

Wisdom is often forged in the fires of experience. Trials teaches you to rely on God, gain understanding, and grow in wisdom.

10. Give Thanks and Praise to God

Your thankful heart acknowledges God’s sovereignty and guidance. I cannot overemphasize this act because it helped me always to get connected easily to Jehovah who bless me with instant divine wisdom.

If you implement these ten principles, then you will become closer to God and experience the transformative power of His wisdom. Divine wisdom is not just for extraordinary moments but for daily living, helping you to reflect God’s character.

20 Types of Demonic Influences and How to Overcome!

20 Types of Demonic Influences and How to Overcome!

Demonic influences are the module operand of the devil introduced to us in a harmless form with the intention to separate Christians from GOD. Did you notice there is no significant difference between the children of God and the children of this world? Why is the appearance in churches so like that of the world?

Today’s message is a wake-up call for you to think deeply and ensure you are not under demonic influences of any form which might look harmless to you.

20 Demonic Influences You Must Know and Avoid!

1. Deception and Lies

Demons propagate falsehoods and deceive people into rejecting the truth of God by using many preachers to cause misconception of the scriptures.

John chapter 8 verse 44: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”

2. Idolatry

Demonic influences promote the worship of idols, which is ultimately the worship of demons. Stay away from churches and doctrines that adore statues or images such as Holy Mary, Saint Peter etc.

3. Sexual Immorality

Dark powers encourage behaviors that defile your body and spirit. The popular practices of sex before marriage including divorce and remarry are some of the great demonic influences of the devil in the church.

Revelation chapter 2 verse 20 to 22: “…because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols…Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.”

4. Fear and Anxiety

One of the strong demonic influences is to instill fear upon you to paralyze your faith. Don’t fall into the Fear of the future, fear of good health, fear of success and be anxious of nothing.

5. Anger and Bitterness

Demons exploit unresolved anger in you to cause division, destruction and to steal your joy.

Ephesians chapter 4 verse 26 and 27: “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.”

6. Pride and Arrogance

The spirits of pride are successful to foster self-exaltation among successful Christians and ministers in the church. It is now a taboo to correct the pastor or any influential church member doing wrong.

Isaiah chapter 14 verse 12 to 15: “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations…Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.”

7. Greed and Covetousness

Demonic influences drive a relentless pursuit of worldly possessions. Don’t sell your soul to the demons because you are desperate to acquire worldly assets. Cars, houses, money are temporary!

8. Blasphemy

Demons provoke irreverence and disrespect toward God.

9. Addiction

Demonic influences enslave individuals through substances or behaviors.

10. Division and Strife

Demons sow discord among people, including within families and churches.

11. Religious Legalism

They twist religion into rigid rules, distorting God’s grace.

Matthew chapter 23 verse 23: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.”

12. Occult Practices

Participation in occult activities opens doors to demonic oppression.

13. Illness and Affliction

While not all sicknesses are demonic, some illnesses can have demonic origins.

14. Mental Torment

Demons can afflict minds with tormenting thoughts, including despair and hopelessness.

15. Persecution of Believers

They incite hostility toward Christians to hinder the spread of the gospel.

16. False Teachings and Heresies

Demonic spirits promote doctrines that lead people astray.

17. Murder and Violence

Demonic influences inspire hatred and destruction.

18. Witchcraft and Sorcery

Dark powers influence individuals to practice magic or seek power through dark means. Visiting prophets and pastors that promote materialism such as handkerchief, candle, soap etc is dangerous!

19. Self-Harm and Suicide

They drive despair to the point of self-destruction.

20. Perverting Justice

They influence actions that lead to the miscarriage of justice.

Prayer Life: 20 Powerful Ways to have a Strong Life of Prayer!

Prayer life is a powerful style of communication to the Almighty GOD who makes you successful on earth. One of the secret plans of the Devil is to destroy the prayer life of Christians. A strong life of prayer frustrates satanic influences and takes authority from the devil.

Did you notice a weak prayer life? Or are you eager to know how to maintain a vibrant prayer life as a Christian? Today’s message will help you. I followed the practical steps mentioned in this article and my Christian life have been victorious, overcoming the devil through the power of the Almighty GOD.  

7 Things that Can Destroy Christians’ Prayer Life

1. Unconfessed Sin: Sin creates a barrier between you and God. When you harbor unconfessed sin or take sin for granted, it can hinder your prayers.

Psalm 66 verse 18 says: “If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”

2. Lack of Faith and Fear: These can destroy the effectiveness of your prayer life.

 James chapter 1 verse 6 and 7 reminds us: “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.”

3. Selfish Desires: Praying with selfish intentions without a grateful heart can hinder the efficiency of your prayer life.

James chapter 4 verse 3 states: “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”

4. Unforgiveness: Holding onto unforgiveness can block your prayers.

Jesus taught in Mark chapter 11 verse 25: “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

5. Poor Meditation of God’s Word: Ignoring regular Bible study can weaken your prayer life.

Proverbs chapter 28 verse 9 warns: “If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.”

6. Distractions and Busyness: Allowing the busyness of life to take precedence over prayer can hinder your relationship with God. Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray (Luke 5:16), setting an example for us to follow.

7. Lack of Persistence: Giving up too soon in prayer can prevent you from experiencing God’s answers.

Jesus encouraged persistence in Luke chapter 18 verse 1: “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.”

7 Dangers of a Weak Prayer Life for a Christian

You must take the points above seriously and quickly make a quick correction because the danger of a weak prayer life is unimaginable, very miserable and destructive!

Prayer is the lifeline that connects you to God not the popular materialism such as oil, candle, handkerchief etc. that is popular in many churches’ false doctrines. Here are seven dangers of a weak prayer life:

1. Spiritual Drift: Without consistent prayer, you may find yourself gradually drifting away from your Christian faith and becoming lukewarm – modern witchcraft!

2. Lack of Peace: A weak prayer life can lead to anxiety and a lack of peace.

3. Vulnerability to Temptation: Without regular prayer, you will easily fall into temptations.

4. Stunted Spiritual Growth: Prayer is essential for your spiritual growth. Without it, the devil and demons will find it easy to hit you hard.

5. Diminished Spiritual Power: A weak prayer life can result in a lack of spiritual power and easy access for the spirit of darkness to manifest through you.

6. Weakened Relationship with God: Without daily prayers you become spiritually blind and deaf without connection to God’s presence!

7. Missed Blessings: A weak prayer life can lead to missed opportunities to experience God’s blessings and guidance making it easy for the devil to establish curses.

20 Ways to Have a Vibrant Prayer Life as a Christian

1. Prioritize Prayer: Make prayer a priority in your daily schedule.

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33).

2. Set a Specific Time: Designate a specific time for prayer each day.

3. Find a Quiet Place: Choose a quiet place where you can focus on God without distractions.

4. Use the Lord’s Prayer: Use the Lord’s Prayer as a model for your prayers.

5. Pray with Thanksgiving: Always include thanksgiving in your prayers.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6).

6. Pray with Faith: Pray with confidence and faith.

7. Pray for Others: Intercede on behalf of others in your prayers.

8. Pray for Guidance: Seek God’s guidance in your prayers.

9. Confess Your Sins: Confess your sins to God and Repent.

10. Pray in Jesus’ Name: End your prayers in the name of Jesus Christ.

14. Pray with Fasting: Combine prayer with fasting for greater spiritual impact.

15. Use Scripture in Prayer: Incorporate Bible verses into your prayers.

16. Listen to God: Take time to listen for God’s voice in prayer.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27).

17. Pray in the Spirit: Allow the Holy Spirit to guide your prayers and not open your mouth to speak in tongues of curses upon yourself.

18. Pray with Others: Join others in prayer for encouragement and support.

19. Pray with Expectation: Expect God to answer your prayers.

20. Pray Continuously: Make prayer a continuous part of your life.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

7 Benefits of a Strong Prayer Life as a Christian

1. Deeper Relationship with God: Prayer fosters a close and intimate relationship with God. As you communicate with Him regularly, you draw nearer to His heart.

James chapter 4 verse 8 says, “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”

2. Inner Peace and Strength: Regular prayer brings inner peace and fortitude.

3. Steady Guidance and Wisdom: Through prayer, the Holy Spirit will always speak wisdom to you.

4. Daily Spiritual Growth: A strong prayer life contributes to spiritual growth and maturity.

Jesus demonstrated this in His prayer at Gethsemane in Luke chapter 22 verse 42, saying: “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”

I am glad to inform you that if you follow the twenty steps above then your prayer life will be strong with great benefits for your spiritual status as a Christians. I pray that the Almighty GOD will open your eyes to see and your ears to hear His offer for you in Jesus’ name.
