THE SEED
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of the people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness.” – Romans 1:18-19 (NIV)
When the church shares messages of salvation, we are reminded of the importance of guarding our families with prayer and fellowship. Ignoring these warnings allows worldly temptations to creep in, making each family member vulnerable to Satan’s snares. When we don’t protect our hearts, we become captivated by destructive desires, harmful influences, and practices that draw us away from God. The Bible is clear: “The soul that sins shall die.” Yet God takes no pleasure in the death of a sinner; His desire is for everyone to turn back to Him. Whether you are a husband, wife, or child, true revival begins by cleansing your heart of worldly attachments. Allow God to help you remove the sinful attitudes, harmful relationships, and distractions that pull you away from His purpose. As the saying goes, “A family that prays together, stays together.” But it’s more than just prayer; it’s about studying and living God’s Word, letting it guide our decisions and relationships. Through prayer and Scripture, we can take back control, dismantling the lies of the enemy and replacing them with God’s truth.
BIBLE READING: Romans 1:18-27
PRAYER: Dear God, guide my family to avoid reckless living and to place You at the center of our lives as our rightful Ruler.
