HOW MUCH TREASURE IS IN YOUR HOME?
There are many folks in America who live in beautiful homes. On the outside they look like mansions with a gorgeous, grand appearance. The lawns and gardens are spacious and delightful to the eyes. Even on the inside they have everything that the heart could wish for. But sadly, the real treasures are nowhere to be found.Where is the atmosphere of love? Where is the sense of sweetness? Where is the sound of joy? Where are the joyful sounds of children?
As Christian parents we must do our very best to open up the treasure chests that the indwelling Spirit of Christ has placed within each of us. Th No. 1 place for these to be manifested is in our homes. Proverbs 15:6 states: “In the house of the righteous there is much treasure.”
The enemy is, without doubt, trying to destroy the real treasures of our homes. He seeks to subtly bring into homes debates, arguments, tension, divisions, accusations, separation, and unforgiveness. The enemy tries his best to infect our homes with “the world, the flesh, and the devil” which rob our homes of real treasures.
Be on guard against the enemy. Stand watch over your home. And pray for God’s beautiful treasures of love, sweetness, forgiveness, joy, laughter, harmony, and seeking after truth to fill your home.
Be encouraged.
