A Good family is the Hope of the church and the country

Scripture References

Genesis 6:9-12: "This is the account of Noah and his family.Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways."

Hebrews 11:7 "By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith."

God Honors families. Before you seek to know the will of God for your church, you need to seek Him first for your family. The church and the country cannot exist without families. Every person comes from a given family. The family is the basis of any institution. If it is not functioning well, then even all the other institutions will not function properly.

We see in the bible that God told Noah to enter with his family in the arch, because God chose to save Noah's family. The bible testifies that Noah was a righteous person. We don't know much about the rest of his family members, whether or not they were equally righteous as He was. But God chose to save Noah's family because of the way Noah honored Him.  Even today, God needs people who stand in families and who honor Him. Through them, God is going to change things and do great things. He doesn't need everybody to be saved in order to change things. He does not need to use the majority. God only needs you alone. 

We also read in the bible that God told Noah to take in the arch all sorts of animals and things. He knew what was fitting for his family. This also applies to to us today. He also knows what is necessary for our families to live well. 

As one who knows God, you need to know the spirits that are fighting your family. In the time of Noah, we see that God destroyed the world because of the way it had become so corrupt. This is what we are also seeing today and this is why you need to be a preacher and intercessor in your family. You might have been giving people prayer requests concerning your family because you do not know the power that you have. You have to stand and command. Just like God used Ezekiel to bring back life to the dry bones, even in your family, you are the one God wants to use today. Remember, the promise to be filled with the Holy Spirit belongs to you and your family.
