God\u2019s favor on your life and on your family. Joshua 24:15<\/a> says,\r\n

15<\/span>And if it seem evil unto you to serve the <\/span>Lord<\/span><\/span>, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the <\/span>Lord<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Every family should declare that our family is gonna serve God; and when you do that, you attract the blessing of God on your family. The favor of God will come upon a family when that family chooses to function according to Godly principles. So I plan to show you three keys to attracting God\u2019s favor on your life and on your family.<\/p>\r\n

In order to have a healthy family, people in your family need:<\/p>\r\n

(A) affirmation, people in your family need a<\/p>\r\n

(B) blue print, and people in your family need<\/p>\r\n

(C) celebration.<\/p>\r\n

Affirmation is how I communicate value and worth to my members of my family with words and actions and deeds. Affirmation calls family members to feel good about themselves. Affirmation helps family members to have good self-esteem. Ephesians 4:29, <\/a><\/p>\r\n

29<\/span>Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ephesians 6:4<\/a>, 4<\/span>And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Your family needs a blue print. A blue print is a proven plan of action. A blue print has guidelines that are written down on paper. To the degree that you commit yourselves to a proven plan of action, that is the degree that you experience success. God\u2019s plan for my family and your family life is outlined in the Word of God. I have to have more than just a revelation of God\u2019s Word; I have to have a commitment to follow through. I am responsible for obeying God\u2019s Word because He is the Lord.<\/p>\r\n

\"PastorThe Holy Spirit's primary job within primary believers is to teach us, to guide us, and bring things to our memory, and to show us things to come. We have to have ears to hear, pay attention and follow through with what He said. He speaks through our hearts. What he has already been written in the Word of God. Isaiah 55:8<\/a> says,<\/p>\r\n

8<\/span>For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the <\/span>Lord<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Whenever I can bring agreement into the house, I can bring the power of God into the house. Matthew 18:19-20,<\/p>\r\n\r\n

19<\/span> Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
20<\/span> For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n

Celebration is like affirmation but it takes place in public form. Celebration is those moments in time when through special words, actions, gifts and festivals I choose to honor and applaud other family members in the presence of other people. The 15th chapter of the book of Luke among other things, it reveals how important celebrations are to God.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
