God Heals
Not many of us are called to go to foreign mission fields. Neither do most Christians hold leadership positions in churches and other organizations. But each one of us has been entrusted with one thing for which God wants us to be faithful. This is the family. All of us belong to a family in some way. Each one of us can be of great influence to the world as we faithfully serve God in our families.
The family is our first mission ground. God instituted the family before the government or even the church. God has placed great emphasis on the family because it is in the family that He displays His love, splendor, and grace to the world. It is through this blessed union that God meets most of the needs of the world. God uses the family relationships to teach us heavenly mysteries concerning Christ’s relationship to the church and to the Father. The family exemplifies God’s love. See Ephesians 5:22-33.
The devil will do all he can, to fight you every day, so you cannot display God’s love as intended through your family. He targets you and your family each day. Do not be ignorant of the devil’s devices and schemes. Remember, he is a liar, and the father of lies. He knows that when he defeats you at the family level, he has in turn weakened the church and crippled the nation at large. Yes, a crushed family = a weakened church = a fallen nation.
Get back into the arms of God. God heals. God specializes in putting broken pieces back together. He is the Potter, we are the clay. When a vessel gets marred in His hands, He gently puts it back onto His wheel and molds yet another vessel meet for the Master’s use and for the display of His splendor. Jeremiah 18:1-6.
Your family has been handpicked by God. It is of great value in the sight of God. God wants to display His splendor and love to the world through your family. You cannot slack off or give up all together. God is counting on you to stand for Him and be His witness in this century. Remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. Nehemiah 4:14.
It is time for God’s healing for you and your family.
