A Daily Devotional with David Olatona – 14/07/2020 — FAMILY UNITY: A CONFIDENCE IN CRISIS
Main Text
2 Chronicles 20:1-24
Watchword
All the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones stood there before the Lord
2 Chronicles 20:13
One major spiritual step every family must take is to obey Jesus’ call for unity. In order to become one as a family, it is important to seek God’s heart in the relationship of prayer, worship and fellowship. It is in prayer with and for one another while listening to the voice of the Father that agreement and harmony is possible. Has your family ever faced a situation in which you didn’t know what to do?
Did you try to figure it out in your own strength, or did you seek the Lord’s help? When your family learns to discern the voice of God together, He will bring wisdom, direction, confirmation, healing, forgiveness, power and purpose into your day-to-day relationships and ministry.
That way, He will receive honor and glory through your unity of heart. It is during difficult times that seeking God in prayer must always be our first response as a family and not our last resort.
*Confession*
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, nothing will separate us from the love of the Lord.
*Prayer*
Hear our prayers of agreement, hearken unto our corporate supplications, let our petitions be acceptable to you O’God.
