Topic:  Your Family is Protected

Text: "And it came to pass, when God destroyed the
cities of the plain, that God remembered
Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the
overthrow…"  (Genesis 19:29).

When God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, He
spared Abraham’s nephew, Lot, and his family
who were living there. God took Lot into
consideration simply because of Abraham who
was righteous. God didn’t save Lot because of
Lot’s own walk with God. In fact, there must
have been some serious worldliness in Lot’s life
for him to tolerate living in these sinful cities. It
was such a wicked environment that when two
angels visited Lot’s home prior to the overthrow,
the men of the cities wanted to have
homosexual relations with the angels. Lot stood
up against them but was still deranged enough
to offer his two virgin daughters instead! No, it
wasn’t Lot’s own lifestyle that spared him. Lot
was spared because of Abraham’s relationship
with God. Now that doesn’t mean because you
are born again that your loved ones are
automatically saved. What it means is that when
you call out to the Lord for your family, God
hears your prayers and places a covering upon
their life so they can be set up to encounter God
in a salvation experience.
Like Abraham, call out for your loved ones. Your
walk with God and your prayers are causing them
to be spared so they can be given every
opportunity to receive the Lord.

PRAYER
Lord, I pray for my loved ones today. I pray
specifically for _____________. I ask You to protect
them from harm and cause them to be positioned
to have a genuine encounter with You. In Jesus’
Name, amen.
