Topic: Raise God's Standard Over Your Home

Text: "And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy
house, and on thy gates" (Deuteronomy 6:9).

We have to remember that the Bible is the Word
of God. That means it’s the very utterance
spoken from God’s mouth. In Deuteronomy 6:9,
when God told Israel that they needed to write
His words over the posts and doors of their
homes, it was because that Word was to become
the very utterance from God that would shape
their home lives. Not only were the words posted
over their houses as a commitment to a certain
standard of living, it was also a declaration for
the future they wanted to see manifest.
Think of a Scripture you want to become reality
over your household. Perhaps everything looks
opposite right now, but you can become the
force that upholds it by the word you declare. Of
course, it can be difficult to keep that word
upheld when it seems that things are not lining
up. However, remember, God told Israel to write
it upon the posts. Now that doesn’t necessarily
mean you have to hang a literal sign. What it
really means is to lift a continual standard over
your house through what you believe and speak
every day by faith. Eventually, if continually
upheld that word will become reality in the
atmosphere of
your home. Let today be the day to speak a
word over your house!

PRAYER
Father, I speak ________________ as the Scripture
written over my house today. I believe that it shall
come to pass no matter what it looks like now. I
declare this word shall manifest over the future of
my household. In Jesus’ Name, amen!
