Day210

PASTORAL DECLARATION FOR SUNDAY 28TH JULY, 2024

Good morning and welcome to this blessed day of the Lord as we continue on our discussion on the riches of Christ's grace.

THEME: THE RICHES OF CHRIST'S GRACE
We're still considering some virtuous women of God in the Bible to illustrate the riches of Christ's grace. We're also incorporating their godly virtues into our lives as children of God. Today, we shall be dealing with another New Testament philanthropist named Dorcas or Tabitha. May God bless us with wisdom to appropriate these teachings into our daily lives in Jesus name.

TEXT: ACTS 9:32-43
TOPIC: DORCAS: A DISPLAY OF GOD'S GRACE

Who was Dorcas in the Bible? Dorcas, or Tabitha, in the Bible lived in the town of Joppa, a city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Dorcas was also called Tabitha—Dorcas is a Greek name meaning “gazelle,” and Tabitha is the Aramaic rendering of the same name. Dorcas, or Tabitha, was a charitable person who made things, especially clothing, for the needy in Joppa. The story of Dorcas in Acts 9 is notable because Peter raised her back to life after she had died.

DORCAS AS A PHILANTROPIST
Dorcas was known for her good works and acts of love for the poor (Acts 9:36); she was much loved in the community of Joppa. When she became ill and died, the believers who knew Dorcas heard that Peter was in the nearby town of Lydda, and they sent for him. The Bible does not specifically say that the disciples at Joppa were hoping for Peter to resurrect Dorcas, but they did call urgently for him (Acts 9:38). When Peter arrived at the home where Dorcas’ body had been laid out, he went up to see the body. There were many widows there, weeping. They all showed Peter “the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them”—tangible evidence of Dorcas’ loving service (Acts 9:39).

DORCAS CAME BACK TO LIFE
What happened next is proof that our God is full of glorious, unrestrained power: “Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, ‘Tabitha, get up.’ She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive. This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord” (Acts 9:40–42).

DORCAS RESURRECTION
Bringing Dorcas back from the dead was not done for Dorcas’ sake—Peter knew she was in paradise, with Jesus, and that her life after death was preferable to her life on earth (see Luke 23:43). Peter’s motive, at least in part, for raising Dorcas to life may have been for the sake of the widows and others in Joppa who needed the help Dorcas could provide. The resurrection of Dorcas was also a major reason so many people in Joppa believed. This miracle performed in the name of the Lord led many to faith in Christ.

LESSONS DERIVED
1. Dorcas is a fine example of how we are to meet the needs of those around us. Christians are to “continue to remember the poor” (Galatians 2:10). Part of “religion that God our Father accepts” is “to look after orphans and widows in their distress” (James 1:27). This was the type of religion Dorcas practiced.

2. We also see in the story of Dorcas how the Body of Christ functions as a whole. We are united in Christ, and the believers in Joppa mourned the loss of Dorcas as a close family member. “There should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it” (1 Corinthians 12:25–26). Dorcas was one of their own, and her absence left a huge void in their lives.
What will people say about you......
What are your neighbours saying about you now?
Check your life now!!!!

THESE ARE MY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME

1. May God bless you richly with virtues to be of help and great benefits to everyone around you in Jesus name.

2. Every good thing that are dead that stopped you from been a benefactor you're made to be shall receive power of resurrection in Jesus name.

3. In this new week, God will open His book of remembrance and favour you in Jesus name.

4. In this new week, the Almighty God will turn things around for your good in Jesus name.

5. As God lives, the Angel of good news shall visit your family in this new week in Jesus name.

6. By the power of Christ's blood and grace you will spend your days in prosperity not in poverty any longer in Jesus name.

7. By the covenant of riches through the blood of Jesus Christ, money will never put you to shame in Jesus name.

8. Go and manifest the wonders of God's grace and mercy to perform excellently in every aspect of your life this new week in Jesus name.

9. The Lord God will roll away shame and all disgrace in your life in Jesus name.

10. You will enjoy the peace and joy of the Almighty God in the name of Jesus.

Shalom!!!!!!!

*Day302*

*PASTORAL DECLARATION FOR SUNDAY, 29TH OCTOBER, 2023*

With joy and love of Calvary, I welcome you to this blessed day of the Lord which is the beginning of another new wonderful week that willudher us unto the eleventh month 9f this year. Glory to God.

*TEXTS: MATTHEW 6:9-13, JOHN 17:15-19*
*TOPIC: HALLOWED BE YOUR
Yesterday, we discussed our Lord's prayer and today we shall continue by trying to understand what it means to hallow the name of God which is the first thing in the prayer.

*UNDERSTANDING THIS STATEMENT*
What does hallowed be thy name in the Lord's Prayer mean?
The Lord’s Prayer, recorded in Matthew 6, begins with “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name” (Matthew 6:9). To hallow something is to make it holy or separate it or sanctify it. Jesus taught His followers to pray that God the Father would “hallow” His name. Significantly, this request comes first. It is of primary importance for God to hallow His name.

*IN WHAT WAY DO WE HALLOW GOD'S NAME?*
In what way do we want God to hallow His name? In what way is His name to be set apart or made holy? One writer explains it this way: “When Jesus petitions God to hallow his name, he is asking that God act in such a way that he visibly demonstrates his holiness and his glory”. God demonstrates His holiness in the world by creating a holy people who will call on His name, proclaim the gospel, and accomplish good works (Ephesians 2:10). For us to enjoy answers to our prayers we must be holy and approach the Lord's throne in holiness.

*WHAT GOD'S NAME REPRESENTS AS WE HALLOWED IT IN PRAYERS*
No one likes to have his or her name forgotten, misspelled, or mispronounced. Our names are part of our identity and individual worth. We value having a “good name,” that is, a blameless reputation. In a similar way, God’s name speaks of His identity, His character, and His actions. When David says, “He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake,” he is referring to God’s action of hallowing His name in the way He guides us (Psalm 23:3; cf. Isaiah 48:9–11 and Ezekiel 20:14). God’s name—His character and reputation—must be set apart as holy in this world, and that is what Jesus teaches us to pray for.

*RECOGNISING GOD TO WHOM WE PRAY*
The request “hallowed be your name” comes first in the Lord’s Prayer. Right away, Jesus removes the focus from us and turns our attention to God. It’s about Him, His holiness, and His work in the world. Jesus taught us to begin our prayers by recognizing the God to whom we pray. He is a loving Father who invites us into His presence. He genuinely cares for us. God is holy and worthy of all honour, and our first priority is to pray that the world would see how holy and glorious He is.

*JESUS' PRAYER FOR HIS DISCIPLES*
On a different occasion, Jesus prayed for His followers: “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified” (John 17:15–19). The word sanctify in Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer is a translation of the same Greek word translated “hallowed” in Matthew 6:9. Jesus prayed this specifically for His disciples, but also for those who would believe in Him through their message—meaning all who have put their faith in Jesus Christ (John 17:20). As children of God (John 1:12), we are called to be holy as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16).

*SUMMARY:* First Peter 3:15 tells us, “in your hearts revere Christ as Lord.” Revere in this verse is another translation of the Greek word for “hallowed.” One of the ways in which we hallow God’s name is to recognize Jesus as Lord and live our lives to honour God. We incline our hearts toward Him, put our hope in Him, obey Him, and share about Him with others. May we follow Jesus’ model prayer, and may “hallowed be your name” be the true desire of our hearts in Jesus name.

*THESE ARE MY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME.*

1. The grace to honour the name of God in every aspects of life is bestowed upon you in Jesus name.

2. The power to always live a holy life for you to enjoy God's presence is released into your life in Jesus name.

3. The grace of approaching the throne of God in clean hand and pure heart is released upon you in Jesus name.

4. May the blood of Jesus cleans and qualify you for GOD'S abundant blessings as you approach Him in prayers in Jesus name.

5. May your life and characters bring honour and glory to God in Jesus name.

6. The anointing for greater exploit is divinely released upon you and your family in Jesus name.

7. Every traps of the enemies set against you and your family shall catch fire in Jesus name.

8. This new week will open your life and entire family to unusual testimonies in Jesus name.

9. In this new week, God that remembered Noah will remember you for good in Jesus name.

10. In this new week, your destiny helpers will locate you and help you in Jesus name.

Shalom!!!!!!!!!!

Day205

PASTORAL DECLARATION FOR MONDAY 24TH JULY, 2023

Good morning and welcome to this blessed day as we continue on our discussion on anger in the family.

TEXT: GENESIS 49: 5-8.
TOPIC: CAN ANGER BE GENETIC?
We can all expect to get angry at one point or another in our lives. Anger is a natural human emotion. You may find yourself losing your temper with family, friends, colleagues, the list goes on. While anger can be an expected feeling, it may be more if you find yourself reacting frequently with increasing intensity. You may have heard the phrase, “what causes problems is a problem”. If your anger is causing you problems, it very well may be a problem.

CAN ANGER BE GENETIC?
Anger can be genetic in the sense that anger and irritability can be symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, intermittent explosive disorder etc. Many of these diagnoses have a biological component. In 2010, scientists discovered the gene HTR2B, which may be responsible for impulsive and violent behavior in human beings when they are under the influence of alcohol. While more research is necessary, this could point to additional genetic causes for increased anger.

NATURE VERSUS NURTURE
A disorder is said to run in a family if there is more than one member affected by a certain condition. While there are biological factors involved, there are also factors related to nurture aka what you grow up seeing. How your family manages anger can have a lot to do with how you manage anger yourself. Now this doesn’t mean if your mother, for example, yells when she is angry you will too. You may, but you are just as likely to retreat or feel uncomfortable with yelling. You may also not do either of those things when you are angry. What we do know is that a lot of behavior can be learned. How you react to emotions is no different. Some families have multiple members with a particular disorder due to genetics, which can be handed down from generation to generation. If you often tend to get angry, you may remember your parents, grandparents, and other extended family members having the same highly charged emotions as you.

SUMMARY: This highlights the importance of knowing your family’s complete medical history, spanning three generations of relatives. The common factors in families, such as genes, environment, and lifestyle, can provide clues to medical conditions affecting your family. Disorders that impact emotion regulation can be overwhelming, therapy can help. We need to trace our generation to know how to overcome some emotional problem so as to stop it's spread.

THESE ARE MY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME

1. Every Curse of poverty that is hunting your life, I break it now in Jesus name.

2. Every Curse that is shouting impossible against your aspirations, I silence it forever today in Jesus name

3. Every household Curse that holds you captive, I break it by the blood of Jesus Christ.

4. Every regalia of poverty that generational curses has designed for you catch fire now in Jesus name.

5. Every tree of poverty planted by ancestral curses in your life be uprooted by fire in Jesus name.

6 Because of the price that Jesus paid on the cross of calvary, I declare this day that you will no longer spend your days in poverty but in PROSPERITY IN JESUS NAME.

7. BY the power of Christ's blood and grace, go and fulfill your destiny in Jesus name.

8. In your outing this morning, I declare, Go and manifest the wonders of God's grace in Jesus name.

9. By the mercy and favour of God, your destiny will attract uncommon destiny helpers into you and your family in Jesus name.

10. Before the end of today, God will beautify and decorate your life with His hlory in Jesus name

Shalom!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day204

PASTORAL DECLARATION FOR SUNDAY 23RD JULY, 2023

Good morning and welcome to this blessed day of the Lord as we continue on our discussion on anger in the family.

TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:26-32
TOPIC: IDENTIFYING ANGER IN YOUR FAMILY
How do I know if a family member has an anger problem? Most of the time angry individuals are aware that they have problems controlling anger. Unfortunately, many of them come to accept that their anger is unchangeable, a fixed aspect of their personality and feel hopeless to do anything about it. If you wonder whether you or a loved one may have an anger problem, look for several of the following symptoms:

1.Becoming inappropriately angry in response to mild frustration or irritation.

2.Experiencing painful feelings of guilt or regret over something that you have said or done in a fit of anger.

3.The existence of repeated interpersonal conflicts that result from angry outbursts.

4.Family and friends approaching or appealing to you to control your anger.

5.Having chronic physical symptoms which are generated or exacerbated (making bad situation worst)by too much anger, such as high blood pressure.

SEEKING FOR HELP
The questions now are: 1. Where do I seek help for an anger problem? You may feel shame or guilt about your anger issues and these problems can actually change the lives of you and your loved ones, for the worst. Therefore, it is critical to consult with a counseling or mental health professional who has many years of experience in anger management training.
2. What kind of treatments are available for my anger disorder? The most common approaches to anger management problems include the use of individual and family therapies. These therapies help one to become aware of specific triggers and thinking processes which lead to chronic anger and demonstrate how to think productively, rather than irrationally.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individual therapy explores the root of angry feelings and behavior in a counseling format that includes only one client. This counseling approach helps the individual to focus on the most important emotions causing his or her excessive anger.

FAMILY THERAPY
Family therapy is a powerful and comprehensive way of repairing the damage caused by longer-term expressions of hurtful anger. Chronic anger commonly alienates family members from each other, resulting in strained communication. It can also cause members to be overly involved with one another in a very dysfunctional way. Family therapy considers each member’s role in the dysfunction rather than just pinpointing one person.

HOW MARIAGE FAMILY THERAPY HELP
Marriage and family therapists, psychologists and mental health counselors are trained in how to identify anger patterns that pass from generation to generation. Identifying these patterns through counseling helps each client to explore his or her perceptions, prejudices and misunderstandings about the appropriateness of certain types of anger.
For example, when parents reflect on how emotions were expressed in their nuclear families, subsequent family members begin to understand the family's inherited concepts about anger and how to correct them. There is need to do something about the anger problem before its too late.

SUMMARY: There no way to completely close the door of anger because you will surely be provoked either by your spouse or children. The way you handle the situation is the ultimate and that's the essence of this discussion. We need to deal with oir angers from the root not the fruit. May God grant us grace to subdue our angers in Jesus name.

THESE ARE MY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME

1. God will water your dry ground and solidify your slippery path in Jesus name.

2. Your trees would bear their fruits bountifully and in season in Jesus name.

3. There shall not be scarcity of good things in your life in Jesus name.

4. The wasters and devourers will be locked out of your life by the Almighty God in Jesus name.

5. Those who hate you with passion and pretend to love you shall be severely dealt with by He who neither sleeps nor slumbers in Jesus name.

6. The Lord God Almighty will feed and satisfy you and your family with good things in this year and beyond in Jesus name.

7. Every covenant of death, sickness, poverty, shame and stagnation concerning you or any of your loved ones is hereby cancelled by the blood of Jesus in Jesus name.

8. The blood of Jesus will speak deliverance and breakthrough for you and members of your household in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9.. You will surely have unusual testimonies in this new week and beyond in Jesus name.

10. The gates of your life shall be open continually, they shall not be shut day and night for the riches and wealth of the kingdom to come into you in Jesus name.

Have a wonderful week.

Shalom!!!!!!!!!!

Day203

PASTORAL DECLARATION FOR SATURDAY 22ND JULY, 2023

Good morning and welcome to this blessed day as we continue on our discussion on anger in the family.

TEXT: GENESIS 49:5-7
TOPIC: HOW ANGER DESTROYS FAMILY
Consequently, if anger is part of your family’s culture, you have probably noticed that it tends to spread itself to future generations. The wider it has spread, the more difficult it is to contain.
Take a look at the way members of your family relate with one another. Is there a hurtful and biting anger present? Remember, our earliest experiences communicating, problem-solving and relating to others occurs within our nuclear family. Unfortunately, patterns of anger in these relationships are then recreated in later relationships and subsequent family systems.
Fortunately, counseling and an expert treatment plan can eliminate the damage of having lived in an angry or abusive family unit.

HOW DYSFUNCTIONAL ANGER DESTROYS RELATIONSHIPS
Anger is a very common destroyer of relationships. Couples, however, often underestimate or minimize its impact by sometimes reporting that it is this anger that makes the relationship feel alive. A very dangerous notion.
How does irrational anger start? It grows in relationships which are insecure and where open communication is absent. The emotion of love then becomes buried beneath years and years of hostility and resentment. In these relationships, helplessness often exists in the present and anxiety and fear overwhelm thoughts about the future.

AVOIDING DESTRUCTIVE ANGER
The following are tips on how to limit destructive anger in your relationships:
1. When you feel angry, mentally evaluate your feelings. Ask yourself if you are over-reacting or jumping to conclusions.

2. Particularly, if you have nothing to lose, start by giving others the benefit of the doubt. Ask yourself if you have taken something too personally or over-reacted.

3. Move to higher ground; get a broader perspective. When you feel resentment building, talk your feelings over with a loved one and get additional feedback.

4. If your anger feels out of control and/or mysterious and particularly, if the relationship is important, consider family or relationship counseling.

5. When you are angry, don't make decisions or conclusions because you may be wrong. There is need to stay cool until the anger subsides and you can now figure out what rally happened.

6. When you are provoked, apply the scripture that says be quick to hear but slow in responding to what you heard. It may not be the full story or it may not be the whole truth. It will be a disappointing experience for you to know later that what you are angry about is incorrect.

7. Stop being judgmental when angry. Always try to hear the other side of the story before you judge in anger. This will save your relationship from breaking down because of untamed anger.

SUMMARY: Anger is part of every person. The danger therein is the way we used our angers. Never allow anger to destroy your family by making it a dysfunctional relationship. Therefore this morning, we should deal with anger before it causes us any problems that can destroy our home.

THESE ARE MY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME

1. Every good doors that are closed against you are opend by fire in Jesus name.

2. Every oppresive yoke holding you and your destiny down, I command it to break by fire, in Jesus name.

3. Before the end of this year, your story will change to glory in Jesus name.

4. Befire the end of this year, God in His infinite mercy will arise and permanently stop your secret tears by giving you unending joy in Jesus name.

5. As God lives, there shall be no cry nor weeping in your house this year but God will give you and your household celebration of joy in Jesus name.

6. By God's power and fire, every Satanic blankets covering your life, glory, destiny, business, and marriage shall be roasted by fire in Jesus name.

7. Every power are gathering momentum to disgrace you and your family shall be scattered disgracefully in Jesus name.

8. Every obstacles erected against your long awaited testimonies shall be uprooted by fire in Jesus name.

9. May the Almighty God in His awesome power arise and do what will make men to notice you for glory in every aspect of your life, in Jesus name.

10. Every curse of seeing good things but not obtaining it upon your life and family is broken by the power in Christ's blood this morning in Jesus name.

Shalom!!!!!!!!!!

Day202

PASTORAL DECLARATION FOR FRIDAY 21ST JULY, 2023

Good morning and welcome to this blessed day as we continue on our discussion on anger in the family.

TEXTS: ROMANS 12: 16-21, EPHESIANS 4:24-32
TOPIC: GENERATIONAL ANGER
Anger often runs in families. Frequently, people can think back to their parents, grandparents and other extended family as being angry people. Many think this is a genetic condition. However, most experts agree that anger is a learned behavior, assuming that it is not stemming from Bipolar Disorder or any other mental illness.
A family teaches a child how to express feelings such as being happy, sad, scared, and even angry. If the family members do not handle anger appropriately (frequent verbal and/or physical anger outbursts), then the child is likely to exhibit that same behavior. Remember, to the child, the entire world handles anger (and other emotions) the same way as his/her family. Keep in mind there are no ideal parents. This stems from Transactional Analysis’ idea that each person’s parents have flawed ways of parenting, which is passed on to the next generation. If a family has problems in the way in which they handle anger, it can be passed on from generation to generation. It is up to the individual to decide if their behaviors are helping or hurting the family, instead of carrying on the same behavior patterns because that is what he/she knows.

WHAT TO DO
What can you do if you are passing anger on to your children? First, remember that you are the role model. If you are able to control your anger, then you really do break the chain of anger that is being passed along through the generations. Just think about how amazing it would be to help the next generation of your family lead a calm and successful life.
When family members become angry, it is important to take the time to talk with them about their feelings. Remember that anger is never the primary feeling. Depression, sadness, fear, anxiety, and a host of other emotions can be at the root of anger. It is important to encourage a family environment where all members are able to talk freely about their emotions without being criticized. Rewarding good behavior and acknowledging successes in controlling anger is a great way to encourage a family to work towards happiness.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO DO
What can be done to address anger in the family?
1. Take steps to reduce your anger: Anger is energy. Are you going to use this energy for something productive or destructive? Will it matter tomorrow? Next week? Next month? If you allow others to make you angry, you are allowing them to control you. Do you really want others pulling your strings? I think your answer is calital NO! Therefore, take every necessary step to reduce your anger.

2. Look at anger as a test: The only person responsible for your anger is you. Model appropriate communication skills with your partner.
• Educate your child about anger.
• Discuss ways the family can cope with anger and other feelings.
• Encourage exercise.
• Participate in family prayer and study of God's words to formulate a plan on how your family will handle anger and other emotions. Individual prayer also may be appropriate.

SUMMARY: According to the teaching and testimony of Paul, the Apostle of Christ, "I can do all things through the strength of Christ. We can also overcome this problem of anger through the strength of Christ as we have His own mind. Anger is very destructive and we need to avoid it at all cost. May we receive divine strength to control our angers in Jesus name.

THESE ARE MY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME

1. The Lord that caused Daniel to be celebrated shall approve and secure your celebration before the end of this year in Jesus name.

2. The Lord that destroyed the garment of shame assigned to Joshua the high priest shall make shame a forbidden event to your life and family in Jesus name.

3. By the grace and favour of God, you will not end this year inside the grave or mortuary in Jesus name.

4. May your testimonies be awesome beyond human explanation to the shame of your enemies and to the glory of God in Jesus name.

5. May the glirious God arise and increase your greatness from every aspect of your life in Jesus name.

6. By the power in the blood of Jesus you will sing your song of joy and your dance your dance of jubilation in Jesus name.

7. By divine providence, you shall have more than enough this year and beyond, therefore, you shall not want in Jesus name.

8. I declare by the authority of heaven this morning into your life, your season of uncommon breakthrough has come, in Jesus name.

9. By God's unusual favour there shall be no stagnation in any facets of your life in Jesus name.

10. I decree and declare this morning into your entire life, you shall sing a new song and dance a new dance before the end of this year in Jesus name.

Shalom!!!!!!!!!!!

Day201

PASTORAL DECLARATION FOR THURSDAY 20TH JULY, 2023

Good morning and welcome to this blessed day as we continue on our discussion on anger in the family.

TEXT: ROMANS 12: 16-21, EPHESIANS 4:24-32
TOPIC: ANGER IN THE FAMILY
Yesterday we started this topic, in continuation this morning, we shall consider the tools that we can use in handling anger in the family.

ANGER TOOLBOX
As Christians Families, we do not have to continue to be victims of our own or other's anger. We can use some simple tools to manage anger. Some of these tools are:

1.Take personal responsibility for your anger: The first tool to managing anger is to take personal responsibility for it. Even if a member's anger is due to temperament or an overbearing boss, take responsibility for your reaction and what you do with that anger. The destructive root of family anger is blame. The blame game only has losers, no winners.

2. Find safe and healthy ways to express your anger: The second tool is to find safe and healthy ways to vent your anger. Give yourself more time to get home so that you are not so upset from the day at work or school. Or ask family members for a few moments alone when you do get home so that you can detox yourself for the day's stress. Find alternative outlets for the pressure that builds up through the day. Exercise, sports, and physical activities are good choices. Additionally, meditation, relaxation training, and healthy diets will ensure a much more powerful buffer to stress.

3. Beware of the way you talk: Thirdly, be aware of how you talk to yourself. If you find yourself reacting to a situation differently than other family members, you may be causing your own problems. What we say to ourselves about situations and other family members influences our emotions. Get help from the Lord to work on changing how you view difficult problems in your life.

4. Increase your social support network: Also, increase your social support network. The more people you have to turn to in a time of crisis, the more resourceful you will feel. Some of these people may not be your family members. That's all right. They are safe places to deal with anger so that time at home, with other members, is spent enjoying one another.

5. Stop apportioning blame: To have victory over family anger, you must stop finding fault but try to settle misunderstandings as fast as you can. Don't try to justify yourself while blaming the other members of the family.

6. Forgiving each other: This is another tool that can help us to overcome anger in family setting. Prepare in your heart always that you will be offended and be ready to forgive the offender. Unforgiveness is a terrible cancer that is devouring the family. None is an angel in the family, there is room for mistakes, errors and misunderstandings because we're all human. As the saying goes, to err is human and to forgive is divine. Forgive yourself and your partner says the scripture.

7. Praying and sharing God's words together: The family that prays together stays together says the scripture. When you share God's words together, it will help the family to stay focused, discuss their challenges and resolving their issues together in the presence of God.

SUMMARY:As Believers, we need to stay with the Holy scripture so as to live by the standards of the Lord. We will always see what we provoke us to anger, but handling it depends on our relationship with the word of God. The family is fountain that needs to be care for seriously so as to be what God designed it to be.

THESE ARE MY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME

1. May your cup of breakthroughs, begin to run over now in Jesus name.

2. By the mercy of God, you shall not miss your divine allocation this year, in Jesus name.

3. By the grace and favour of God, your divine provision shall locate you by fire gloriously in Jesus name.

4. Every evil label assigned and placed on your life, may the blood of Jesus flush them out, in Jesus name.

5. By divine order, you shall obtain enviable and wonderful results before the end of this year in Jesus name.

6. As this year runs under God's grace, you shall be ambassador of God's signs and wonders in Jesus name.

7. In the remaining days of this year, you shall testify about the goodness of the Lord in Jesus name.
