In making accomplishments, people may try, but our God never try, he naturally triumphs. In Psalm 74:20 scripture says
"Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty".
The world is filled with wickedness, and many families are being affected with evil, but as a child of God, there is a program of exemption for you and your family. In Psalm 125:3, scripture says,
"For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity".
However, anywhere you see victory or dominion, it is not automatic! No one wins by doing nothing. Every victory is a result of something being done. Nothing moves by itself; behind every movement there is a mover. Every family you see making progress don't just fold their arms, they are doing something.
In 1 John 5:4 scripture says
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith".
Anything that is born of God overcome the world, if your marriage, family, business etc is born of God, they over come. The scripture says "...this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our FAITH. That means nothing overcomes by itself but by faith. Faith transfers our battles to God who eventually makes us to overcome. In Matthew 11:12, scripture says
"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force".
Your victory in life requires a particular force; and that force is the force of faith. In Hebrews chapter 11 you will find a catalog of overcomers by faith. The chapter is characterized with the phrase "by faith...". For instance, in verse 4, the scripture says,
"By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain" etc.
In fact a concentrated exploits of faith is seen in verse 33-35,
"...who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens, woman received their dead raised to life again..."
Your family will become nothing without faith. The wisdom to triumph in your family is to carry the mentality that "faith miracles are not accident", but they are acts of God as a response to the faith of men. Faith is being scriptural convinced. It is not open confidence, but scriptural confident. Faith is not cheap talks, faith is the immunity of your family against all terminal diseases, Ebola inclusive. The power of faith can subdue any power of darkness. Ebola is one of the diseases Jesus paid the price for, God's word is the greatest medicine against any disease. Ebola is directly from Satan, but Jesus already covered it up in his death.
The devil is a dog, what is the wisdom to handle him? In dealing with the devil, you must first recognize where his strength is. The bible says, the devil is like a roaring lion, the word "like" in the statement lets know that he is not a lion. His strength lies in scaring his victim and bringing fear upon them. Fear registers you as a victim of satanic lies.
Therefore family rule number one should be "Fear thou not". Until Satan can terrify your family, he can not terrorize you. In Philippians 1:28 scripture says,
"And in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God".
Don't be afraid no matter what it is. Fear is a bait in the hands of the enemy to destroy you. Your fear sends signals to the devil that you are a cheap victim. Your fear will establish your fall. God told Jeremiah, if you are afraid of these people, I will confound you before them.
Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and as God sent him, so he sends us too (John 20:21). So you are a lion that turns away from non. You have no cause to fear the devil. Fear is a spirit, without it, you can not be oppressed. Your watch word must be "I must not be afraid". Someone defines fear as "False evidence appearing real". Just as faith has evidence, fear also have evidence, but that of fear is false. Satan can not determine your life spam; in Christ, you determine how long you live; because he says in Psalm 91:16,
"With long life I will satisfy him..."
Satisfaction is a personal thing that only you can determine. Faith is the wisdom of God that disarm the enemy. It is what makes God to interfere on your behalf. Faith thrives on the word of God and makes you smarter than your enemies, Psalm 119:98.
Every rise or fall is according to your faith. Therefore by the level of understanding of your God you have, every disease can be healed. Challenges will come, but let your faith be alive. Don't wait for challenges to come before you develop your faith, make your faith constantly alive. Know that your family becomes better not because you attend Church, but because you apply your faith in the God of the Church.
Shalom!
