Fight For What’s Left

“Be not weary in well doing, for in the due season; you shall reap if you faint not.” Galatians 6:9

Job had a job. He made it his goal to build an altar and offer a sacrifice for each member of his household every day. The scriptures said, “This Job did continually.” Job had ten children and his wife, so he would be faithful to intercede for his family every day. He would name his first child, slay an animal, build an altar, put that blood on the altar, and call that child’s name out before God in prayer. Then, he would go to child number two and repeat the process. He did this continually, day after day. 

We have to be diligent to pray for our family. The enemy roams around like a lion, seeking whom he can devour. We need to start interceding and saying to the enemy, wrong relationships, drugs, and alcoholism, “Get away from my family. I plead the blood of Jesus over my children.”  

Your children may dabble with rebellion and go down the wrong path, but if you put enough blood, prayer, and intercession on them, no pit can hold them. God will bring them out. If you will fight for your family, God will fight for you. Fight for the children who are addicted. The enemy may have run rampant in their lives, but don’t give up on them because if you raised them in church, and even if you didn’t, God said, “Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound.” When you’re fighting to keep your teenagers or college students away from the wrong crowd, go to your prayer place, open the word, and declare the promises of God.  

Don’t give up just because your family is going through a hardship. Keep praying and keep loving your children. The enemy wants you to become bitter and disassociate yourself from them, but don’t take the easy way out. Be there for them and show them the relentless love of Christ.

In the Old Testament, the story of Rizpah is told. Rizpah was one of the wives of King Saul. The Gibeonites invaded, and they took Rizpah’s sons, killed them, and hung them on a tree. But Rizpah would not give up on her sons, and the Scripture says that she stayed outside day and night and fought the animals and the birds off. She sat out there for months and months, wanting her children to be cut down from that tree, even though there was nothing left but bones and rotting flesh.

Fight for what’s left. You may be looking at your family, and the family that used to be there may not be there anymore. You may be tired of all the issues and problems you’ve had but don’t give up on your family. Fight for what remains, and you will see God work a miracle
