Maintaining the home safe.<\/h2>\n

Our most priceless possession is our homes. Every person that walked the earth has had the goal of establishing a home enriched with prosperity and family. The components of a home consist of parents, children, pets, house, and toys. One of the main objectives to keeping the home intact is security, making sure that safety is at the forefront of the home. Getting an alarm, establishing security measures, creating boundaries are all good measures for keeping the home safe in the material world, and the same applies in the spiritual. Our homes are being attacked ferociously by the enemy the devil and is destroying them, because we have not been vigilantly in protecting it in the spiritual.  There are measures that we need to take in order to keep our homes safe that the bible makes mention off. For example, the Psalmist said that unless the Lord builds the house in vain works those that builds them (Ps127:1). David was suggesting that the only way that our homes can have a surviving chance is if we allow God to be the builder of it. He has to be the deciding factor what is allowed in your homes. Another measure that we should take to keeping our homes safe is to make sure that our light; our internal quest and devotion to and for God, continues to shine no matter what happens (Mt5:15). Everyone in your home needs to be lit. <\/p>\n

Matthew 24:42-43<\/p>\n

\n

42 <\/sup>Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.<\/span><\/p>\n

43 <\/sup>But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one can do a more wholistic job for building your home like God can. David thought of his house as being established and finished, and noticed that God did not have a stable place to dwell in. So, he decided to build one for God, but he restrained him. He told him that he could not build him a house, but instead God said that he was going to build one for him (2Sm7:11). Out of David’s children God would choose one with the Messianic connection, that would save man. From king Solomon came Jesus Christ the cornerstone of every family whose home is joint with God’s home. Paul said that we are no longer strangers but members of God’s home (Eph2:19-22), being built into a holy temple for him.  The process for unifying our home with God’s is quite simple, yet not so welcoming. The building process is at times difficult because the temptation of taking short cuts or less evasive measures is ever present. Jesus mentioned a parable about a wise man and a foolish man who both built each a house. The wise man built his house on a rock, a very difficult place to lay foundation because of the drilling of holes. And the foolish man built his on sand where very little effort is needed to lay the foundation is needed (Mt7:24-27). Both houses suffered storms, but only one remained standing. In a home the word of God needs to be foundational. Today’s homes are being battered and broken because they lack the presence of God.<\/p>\n
