Have you ever noticed that the
easiest place to remain self-centered is at home? There's an incentive
to be lovely with others, but with your family you are tempted to allow
yourself more selfish privileges, as if it didn't count there.
Before
I was a Christian, I was more courteous and nicer to friends than to my
own family. I was more demanding and less forgiving with those dearest
to me than with anyone else.
But after I made Jesus Lord of my life, I realized all that had to change.
Gloria
and I began to learn through the Word how important harmony is within
our family. We learned that if we wanted the power of agreement (see
Matthews 18:19) to work in our lives, we could not allow strife in our
home.
Strife drops the shield of faith, stops prayer results and
invites Satan and his cohorts into your midst. Discord is deadly. It
paralyzes the power of God in your life.
Don't allow the enemy to
stop you at your own front door by allowing strife in your home. If you
do, you'll be no threat to him anywhere else.
Put the power of harmony to work in your family.
