And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name. And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. And he put the wood in order and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid them on the wood,…….. (1Kgs. 18:31-33)
As the head of your family, order is the proof of effective leadership. Orderliness is the nature of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost (Gen.1:26). But how do I lay my life and family in order? First, you must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by accepting Him as your Lord and personal savior. You must be genuinely born again. It is when you have accepted Him that you partake of His orderly nature. The Scripture says that if any be in Christ, he is a new creature…….. (2Cor.5:17). Secondly, you must continually lay before you the word of God. The Bible tells us that the word of God is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
The word of God is a mirror of how your life and family had been created to be, from the beginning. The word of God provides you with the energy to run with discipline the demands of your office as the husbandman. Thirdly, you must increase the tempo of your confession and declaration even against contrary opinions. In Rom.10:10, the Scripture tells us that with the heart man believes and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Satan wants to create chaos in your family fold by throwing in disorderliness. You must resist him steadfastly by confessing and insisting on what is right. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham, and he said here am I (Gen.22:11). That is your heritage.
