Revelation of the Word:

THEME: FAMILY UNITY

Psalms 133:1-3 NKJV

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.”

INSIGHT

–It is foundational that a family upholds unity. It is like precious anointing oil flowing down the beard of Aaron, the high priest and as the life-giving dew of mount Hermon that refreshes the land, is family unity. It is pleasing to God and brings His abundant blessing, leading to spiritual and physical vitality for His people and fulfilling His purposes for God’s creation.

SUMMARY

A family is the basic unit and cornerstone where values, culture, discipline, identity, and social responsibilities are first taught and experience. Families nurture individuals emotionally, socially, and morally, preparing them to become responsible members of the wider community. The family supports the building of a stable environment where members can grow, thrive, and support one another through love, communication, and mutual respect. Children are called to obey their parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers are cautioned from provoking their children, lest they become discouraged (Colossians 3:20-21). God calls us to united in mind and judgement as families, speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among us (1 Corinthians 1:10). Joshua declared that as for him  and his house, they will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15), which is vital for each family to desire and decide. Cornelius, a centurion was a devout man who feared God with all his household. He gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always (Acts 10:1-2). God calls us to have faith in Him and be united in the family unit for through this God commands a blessings and we succeed in whatever we decide to do.

PRAYER

Abba Father we give You praise, glory and honor. We worship Your name in the beauty of holiness. May You grant us unity in mind and judgement that we may be one with one another and with You Jesus Christ. May You make us one in You dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. By Your grace we shall always overcome the snares of sin, satan and death. We are more than conquers in You Christ Jesus. We are more than victorious by Your precious blood and the word of our testimony. May You teach us love You and one another as ourselves, including our enemies. May You grant each household the gift of salvation through faith in You Jesus Christ. May You grant us and all people Your gift of eternal life dear Jesus, that we may resurrect in the Day of You Lord. Dear Lord Jesus may You do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask of or think of according to the power that is at work in us. Lord we trust in You and exalt You. We believe that You are able to do more than we can think of or imagine. We believe that we shall be extremely fruitful since we abide in You and You in us. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in Your house forever. May You bless us and keep us loving Father, may You shine Your face upon us and be gracious to us. May You lift up Your countenance towards us and give us peace. Amen
