Finding and Flourishing in Your Place in the ChurchSample

FIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY

God told the devil in Genesis 3:15 that the seed of the woman shall bruise his head. “Bruise” is an old eastern word that means “break his lordship”. The devil knows that the human being is going to carry an anointing that will end his dominion over man. So, he began to check out every man from Abel to Jesus and moved Cain to kill Abel.

When Jacob was going to die, he said, “…. the scepter shall not depart from Judah….” Then, the devil moved after Judah, causing Judah to sleep with his daughter-in-law so that the plan of God could be delayed for generations while he continued to stir up evil in families to prevent the fulfillment of that prophecy. Ultimately, the prophecy was fulfilled when Jesus defeated the devil, but many are still not rising in their families to exert the victory of Jesus over the devil. The Church is so full of people that are not preparing for destiny. God is looking for those who will rise in this generation to stop the shame and the curse and start the blessing.

Imagine someone that comes from a family where everybody struggles because their ancestors made covenants with the devil and generations of children keep paying. They are forever indebted to the devil unless someone comes to redeem them by the blood of Jesus. When the first man or woman gets born again in that generation, God’s plan is redemption. Such a person cannot afford to play games in church or complain about God’s demand for his training as a deliverer of his generation. However, will he accept to fight for the family?

PRAYER: Lord, I cooperate with Your plan. I will go through every righteous demand You make of me. I will fight as a deliverer for my family in Jesus’ name. Amen!
