DECLARING OVER YOUR HOUSE

“As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15b (NIV)

The choice to follow Christ is deeply personal, yet it’s never just about you. Joshua’s declaration, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord,” reminds us that faith is meant to overflow into our families, our communities, and the greater church body.

When you align your life with Christ, the ripple effects are profound. Your decision becomes a lighthouse of hope and a declaration of allegiance that inspires those around you. You are not just an individual believer; you are part of something greater: a family of faith that spans generations and stretches across the world.

The early Church Father, Ignatius of Antioch, captures this beautifully:

“As members of one body, we belong not only to God but to one another. This is the mystery of the Church, the family of God.”

Your faith is a bond that connects you to every believer, but it starts at home. Declaring God’s rule over your household means prioritizing Him in your family life—through prayer, worship, and daily acts of obedience. It’s a statement to your children, your spouse, and even your neighbors that Christ is King in your home.

When you make this declaration, it’s more than words; it’s a commitment to lead by example, to foster an atmosphere of love and grace, and to live in unity with the global Church family.

CHALLENGE:

Walk through each room of your house, praying over it and declaring God’s peace, protection, and purpose for your family.

PRAYER THOUGHT:

Ask the Lord to empower you to live faithfully and lovingly, being an example of Christ’s love to those in your family and community.
