Topic: REARING UP A FAMILY ALTAR
Biblical Text: “ And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house and when thou walkest by the way and when thou liest down and when thou risest up”. [Deuteronomy 6:7]
Family altar simply means family Bible study, prayers and worship time. Every Christian family should have such a time daily. It amazes me to see that so many Christian families find it difficult to set time apart daily as a family to commune with God, they sometimes try to give attention to their Church altar and hope it can effectively take the place of family altar. Sorry, it cannot! Fellowshipping in Church is good but equally important is family altar. Family altar is a platform for parents to diligently teach their children in their houses so that they do not depart from the way of understanding. I struggled as a teen spiritually because we did not imbibe the culture of family altar in our home. Family altar helps build our spiritual lives in prayers, word and worship. Also, family altar helps builds unity in the home. You would have heard, ‘ a family that prays together, stays together’ . Also, family problems are solved in the family altars. In family altar, we can spend time to intercede for others like pastors, missionaries, sick people, saints, new converts and unsaved souls. Every parent has a ministry which is partly done on the family altar. Rear up a family altar today; if it needs repair quickly do it and enjoy family fellowship in the presence of the most High God.
KNOW IT ∞ Family altar is important in every Christian home.
READ IT ∞ Deuteronomy 6:4-7, 1 Kings 18:30, 2 Samuel 24:18
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give my family the grace to raise up a family altar for your glory.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Mark 1-3
