*TOPIC: FAMILY UNITY*
"And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.” Judges 13:22-23
*MESSAGE*
The need for and the benefits of unity in the family are depicted in the 13th Chapter of the Book of Judges. Carefully reading through, one cannot but notice many exemplary acts recorded by Manoah and his unnamed wife.
For example, the patience of the wife made it possible to receive a complete and comprehensive message from the Angel of God. Besides, application of wisdom is seen in how Manoah didn't doubt his wife's message. He only prayed to God for the grace for them to meet the friendly stranger (again) for clarification. Indeed, it happened, though after some days.
The Angel confidently repeated the promise of God and the warning that came with it. If a message is from God to His children, individually or collectively, there is usually no confusion for the Spirit of God is one.
When Manoah concluded that they would both die, having seen an Angel of God, the faith of the wife gave both of them assurance. In all, both of them were united. God designed the family to succeed in love and unity. God, thus, gives diverse gifts to family members to complement one another. These gifts are best coordinated where love and unity abound and they always return greater outcomes.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ A loving and united family is always a delight. How would you describe yours? Ensure that your family is united in Christ.
*SCRIPTURES*
Psalm 133:1-3; Ephesians 4:3; Genesis 2:24
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, thank You for being the Lord of our family.
2. I cast out every spirit of disunity from my family in the name of Jesus.
3. Lord, endow my family with the spirit of wisdom and unity in Jesus’ name.
