POWER OF THE PRAYER ALTAR DAY 24 "EL-ELOHE-ISRAEL, MY FAMILY ALTAR "

SCRIPTURE 
"And Jacob erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel." (Genesis 33:20)

KEY STATEMENT 

By calling this altar "El-Elohe-Israel," or God the God of Israel, Jacob is virtually saying, "I erect this altar for the worship of my family, to the God with whom I have prevailed in supplication, and who has proved Himself the hearer of my prayer." Such an altar should there be in every household.


WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE FAMILY ALTAR IS BROKEN DOWN?

1) When the family altar is broken down, the house stops being the house of prayer and becomes a den of thieves. 
"And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." (Matthew 21:13)

2) When the family altar is broken down, the house becomes the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit.
"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." (Revelation 18:2)

3) When the family altar is broken down, the fire of love is quenched in the heart and the house becomes a place where the members hurt one another
"And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them." (1 Kings 18:28)

4) When the family altar is broken down, other ungodly altars will be set up in place of it and it will cause tears, misery, dryness, death, stubborn children, unsettlements, financial struggles, evil cycles, misfortunes etc.

CASE 1The family altar was broken down in the house of Eli the priest. As a matter of fact, his sons were so ungodly that God killed them.
"The sin of Eli’s sons was a serious matter to the LORD, because these men were treating the offerings made to the LORD with contempt." (1 Samuel 2:17)

CASE 2 : The family altar was broken down in the house of Elimelek who left Bethlehem to go to Moab. As a matter of fact, it opened a door to a cycle of misfortunes and miseries : he died, his two boys died also, he lost his wealth and properties ...
"And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons." (Ruth 1:3)
"And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband." (Ruth 1:5)

WHAT TO DO?


  • LIKE ELIJAH, REPAIR THE FAMILY ALTAR

There are accounts in the Bible where altars had to be repaired. Then when the altar was repaired, sacrifice and prayer was offered up. Then something happened. Then the fire fell. 
 “And Elijah…repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down…” (1 Kings 18:30-38)
"Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that [was] in the trench. (1 Kings 18:38)

  • LIKE JESUS IN THE TEMPLE, OVERTURN AND OVERTHROW THE TABLES OF THE MONEYCHANGERS (all those evil spirits making illegal transactions in your house, bringing distraction, ...)

Matthew 21:12 "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves," 

  • LIKE OBEDEDOM, KEEP THE ARK OF THE LORD IN THE CENTER OF YOUR HOUSE

2 Samuel 6:11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household. 
  • LIKE DAVID, BE THE KING AND THE PRIEST WHO EVERYDAY BLESS YOUR HOUSEHOLD (pray everyday as a family, keep the family altar on fire, ...)

1 Chronicles 16:43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
