Topic: ALTARS IN YOUR HOME – Part 1

MEMORIZE: 'A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out." Leviticus 6:13.

SCRIPTURE READING: Leviticus 6:12-13

"And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. 'A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out." 

EXPOSITION:

If the home is in order, the church and, by extension, the society will be in order. Altar is a very significant point. It is a place where sacrifice is offered. If there is no altar, no platform for making atonement for sin *(Lev. 9:10)*. Christ's blood was shed on the cross of Calvary, the altar where our sins' remission was perfected. The patriarchs of faith made altars at every significant encounter with God *(Gen. 8:20; 22:9; Exod. 17:15)*. Today, altar has become mobile, i.e. in our hearts. At home, there should be 5 altars that should work together for edification (Eph. 4:1ff):

1)  Father's Altar: As the head, he must keep an altar. He must have personal relationship with God. On his personal altar, he prays, meditates in the Word, and keeps vigils. If the father can do this, Satan cannot gain entrance into the house *(Ezek. 33:7)*, He is the watchman and gateman of his house.

2)  Mother's Altar: Just like the father, the mother should have her personal altar. Even though they (husband and wife) share the same room and bed, the two principal altars cannot clash. It depends on how they handle it.

If the parents are prayerless, the children will automatically be unprotected. This is the reason why many destinies got trapped down in the hand of the enemies, because the parents were unable to secure the future of their children – their individual altars are dead and not functional. If every father and mother can wake up into having effective prayer altar, the next generation will surely be the luckiest. Godliness will be the identity of every city and nations of the world.

As a parent, you must not continue disappointing God who has made you a father/mother. Rise up and built an effective altar of relationship with God and of security around your family.

PRAYER POINT:

i. Lord, I receive grace and power not to leave my family unprotected and insecure in Jesus name.

ii. Lord, I receive divine enablement to have a functional personal altar in communion with God in Jesus name.
