and the less privileged.<br />

The family is the smallest<br />

unit of the society, yet the<br />

most threatened and<br />

attacked by the devil. This is<br />

because the family is the bedrock<br />

of the society, it is the foundation<br />

for any great nation. It is the basis<br />

for the formation or growth of<br />

any man or woman who would<br />

make positive impact in the<br />

world today.<br />

Our society is filled with all kinds<br />

o f d e c a d e n c e , w r a t h a n d<br />

unimaginable evil. Sometimes I<br />

ask myself, how did we get here,<br />

how did wrong become right and<br />

acceptable, how did total<br />

disregard for God`s words<br />

become the norm today? The<br />

answer is not far-fetched. Like<br />

never before, the sacredness of<br />

the home/family has become<br />

ignored, unguarded and the<br />

enemy has sown evil seeds which<br />

have grown to become mighty<br />

trees.<br />

that is Jesus, we have an<br />

assurance of victory, we have<br />

power to take back our homes<br />

and territories from the grip of<br />

the devil, but this will not happen<br />

by chance or mere stroke of luck,<br />

we must rise and take forceful<br />

steps to guard our homes from<br />

the enemy. Our victory is assured<br />

in Jesus name! Amen!<br />

How do we guard our home<br />

against the enemy?<br />

KNOWLEDGE<br />

Many believers are unaware of<br />

the many tricks and devices<br />

employed by the enemy to creep<br />

into the home. We are so carried<br />

away by past ideologies that we<br />

refuse to acknowledge the<br />

peculiarities of the times we find<br />

ourselves.<br />

Statistics show that<br />

majority of juveniles<br />

today come from homes<br />

with absent or no fathers<br />

Our children today are born into<br />

a more advanced world and in<br />

many cases they know more than<br />
