Good -Life Devotional: GUARD YOUR MARRIAGE AGAINST GENERATIONAL STRIFE  ( part 3) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

 James 3:17-18

[17]But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

[18]And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.". The fruit of righteousness being the blessings of the lord upon a marriage can only be seen and enjoyed in a peaceful atmosphere. Living in peace is by choice and here are more principles on how to overcome the generarional cycle of strife in your family . 

8) BREAK NEGATIVE FAMILY PATTERNS THROUGH CHRIST – 2 Corinthians 5:17

PRAYER: By the authority of Jesus Christ, I break every inherited pattern of rivalry, jealousy, and division in my family. We declare that we are new creations in Christ, in Jesus’ name.

Make moves to reconcile with your inherited enemies . We are called to the ministry of reconciliation. 

9) GUARD YOUR HOME ATMOSPHERE WITH PEACE – Matthew 5:9

Prayer: Father, make our home a dwelling place of peace. Let Your Spirit rule our atmosphere so strife cannot enter, in Jesus’ name.

10 ) STAND FIRM IN GOD’S WORD AND RESIST THE ENEMY – James 4:7

Prayer: Lord, we submit our marriage to You. We resist the devil, and we declare that every plan of strife and division against us shall fail, in Jesus’ name.

Conclusion

Strife, if left unchecked, can travel through generations. But when a marriage is surrendered to Christ, fueled by the Holy Spirit, and guarded by prayer, the cycle of conflict is broken, and a new legacy of peace begins.

 In our prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to take steps or reconciliation. 

PRAYER; Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him and receive the Holy Spirit and power for reconciliation.
