JULY MY MONTH OF FAMILY RESTORATION AND REVIVAL OF MARITAL LOVE

PROPHETIC VOICE JULY 2013 (VERY SPECIAL EDITION) MY MONTH OF FAMILY RESTORATION AND REVIVAL OF MARITAL LOVE 1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-7 July, the 7th month called “Tisri” or “Ethanim” is a very special month in God’s scheme of things for the year 2013. It is a sabbatical month, when God will order rest for families and homes that are going through turbulent and challenging times. A word of grace and prophetic release is entering every home that this prophetic scroll shall enter and it shall effect radical restoration and revival that will reposition them. As Solomon in 1 Kgs 8:2 brought the Ark from Zion, positioning it in the most holy place where it belong, even under the wings of the cherubims, so shall God bring every scattered and shattered homes and families back to His presence. Every component of your household shall be restored and repositioned to experience greater manifestation of God’s glory. “And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. And all the elders of Israel came and the priests took up the Ark. And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up. And the Priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims” 1 Kgs 8:2-6. The first 7 verses of the 7th chapter of the 7th book of the New Testament (1 Cor. 7:1-7) demonstrate in practical and tangible terms what will provoke the divine visitation that will restore our homes and family and rebaptize us into the holy marital love we first enjoyed. 1. Apostolic guidance and follow up – 1 Cor. 7 is the apostolic response to the serious question of the Corinthians on marriage issues they were struggling with. You must go back to the foundation and rediscover the reason and purpose for your marriage within the confine of divine constitution and instruction for marriage. You are in that marriage and family as a solution to problems but not as a cause of another trouble. What solutions have you brought so far to your partner or family? (vs 1). 2. Every/each man and every/each woman – It is your personal self consciousness of God’s particular address to you that will set the revival on for your family restoration. You have been looking at most of God’s command like its meant for your spouse/parent but from now begin to see yourself in that real picture God is painting. It is one plus one from the beginning and how dare you bring in the paramour/concubine/mistress and the man friend? You are missing the glory because of the evil mistitoes in your life! (vs 2). 3. Don’t be a fraud! – Denial brings destruction. It is mandatory you give your partner his/her conjugal right. Don’t wait until you get your own: give your partner first. Give and it shall be given back to you. Don’t deny him/her your goodwill, kindness and unconditional love – (vs 3). 4. You have lost the exclusive right. Marriage has redefined the confines of your right and freedom. Your freedom is now a matter of collective sharing. The mission of submission applies to the two parties in the marriage contract. Why are you then living like you exclusively own yourself and the right to do and undo. The day you said “I do” before the altar, you permanently altered that equation. The earlier you rediscover and realize this truth the faster your marriage and family restoration (vs 4). 5. Don’t Hide Under Any Spirituality! Your spiritual exercises cannot in any way replace or exonerate you from your conjugal responsibilities. You must be sexually very active, attractive and responsive to avoid allowing devil’s foot-hole and strongholds in your home. Understand the hormonal arrangement and chemistry of your partner and ignite him/her into action. After all that’s one of the principal reasons of your coming together (vs 2). 70% of marriage problems are connected with the issue of sex so why won’t you address it before it becomes a monster in your home? Do not be too carried away by your “spiritual activities” that you fail to regularly anoint the “holy place” and till God’s garden you have been appointed to take care of. July is the month you must comply and fully resume to your marital duty post (vs 5). 6. Your joint altar, how is its condition? If you can’t pray and fast together then you are not ready to be together. Your spiritual formation must be a joint business. Everything and everyone in your home must be brought together to the most holy place (1 Kgs 8:4-5). As God ordered Gideon in the 7th book of the Old Testament to go and destroy his family altar of baal before he can go and deliver the nation of Israel, you must equally get up this holy month and destroy every monster fighting your home and family. WARFARE PRAYERS  I thank you Lord for my home and family and for the many benefits made available to us.  I retake every lost ground illegally occupied by Satan and his agents in my family.  I command destroyed and roasted by Holy Ghost Fire every power negotiating and transacting with the glory and destiny of my family (Nah 3:4).  Every strange altar and throne in my family be irreparably destroyed in Jesus name.  Every foot hole and stronghold of devil in my home is destroyed and removed in Jesus name.  I command every seed and fruit of my family to declare god’s glory (Isa 18:18).  I re-ignite the fire of love between me and my partner today in Jesus name. every lost glory and ground you are restored.
