“And Elijah repaired the altar of the LORD that had been torn down.” (1 Kings 18:30b)

When an altar is broken, the sacrifice offered on it will not be pleasing to GOD. Many family altars in marriages have been broken, which is why numerous problems arise in households. The altar is the support system for family life. However, if it does not speak, nothing will work. Therefore, rebuild your family altar.

The family altar is not just a place where you and your family come to pray; it is a place of continual sacrifice in all areas of your life that will put up barriers against all satanic oppressions in your marriage and life.

“But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.” (Revelation 2:4-5)

The lampstand currently holds the lamp so that it continues to burn. If the flame of any marriage ceases, there will be trouble. Therefore, it is important for families to repent and restore their first love and communion with the HOLY SPIRIT by spending time in GOD’s Word, praying, and fasting, being ready to continually offer their bodies as a daily sacrifice.

Once communion with the Lord diminishes in a household, the devil operates continuously. So, rebuild your family altar quickly, and your marriage will continue to sail smoothly…

We invite you to read the following article, “NEVER RECORD THE WRONGDOINGS.”

There is no storm in life that God cannot handle. But God works according to your will and acceptance of His principles. Marriage principles must be respected if the storms will cease. “If you are willing and obedient you will eat the fruit of the land” (Isaiah 1: 19). Learn to handle your differences!
