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 />
As believers, we have a hope and<br />
that is Jesus, we have an<br />
assurance of victory, we have<br />
“<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 />

majority of juveniles<br />
today come from homes<br />

Our children today are born into<br />
a more advanced world and in<br />
many cases they know more than<br />
