Being united! – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

“A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
The family life that is built around the Lord Jesus will not fail. We read in the Bible, “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Yes, when you bind yourselves with Jesus your family life will not be broken. You and your spouse should join hands everyday and seek the Lord in prayer. That is how you bind your lives with the Lord. Not just while seeking the Lord, you should be of the same spirit and of the same mind in the Lord. The Bible says, “Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose” (Philippians 2:2). You should agree with each other and only then you can take sound decisions for each other and for your children. Pray to God asking for unity in your family life.

Here is a testimony of a sister by the name Boomadevi John Peter from Kallikudi: “I got married in the year 2014. The happiness in our newly wedded life lasted only for six months. Due to witchcraft problems in the family, there were always difference of opinion and heated arguments between us. As days went by the situation worsened. I had to leave to my mother’s house. Due to this behaviour of mine, my husband got irritated and started hating me to the core. There was no communication between us. Finally it even went to the extent of filing for divorce. My mother’s family were totally shattered looking at my state.  My mother and I attended the 2015 New Year Blessing meeting in Chennai. During the prayer time, Dr.Paul Dhinakaran said, “Let all the devils that are working to break the families leave now.” That moment was glorious. Just then I felt a deep deliverance within me. A great peace filled my heart. Soon after that meeting, sister Evangeline Paul laid her hands on my head and prayed fervently saying, “Lord Jesus, let them live together as a family”. That same month I received a telephone call from my husband saying that he is coming back!  Now we are blessed with a baby boy. All glory to God.”

The Lord who blessed that sister will bless your family life too. Are you also facing unnecessary quarrels and fights in your home? Don’t be worried. No demon can spoil your life. The Bible says, “There is no divination against Jacob, no evil omens against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’” (Numbers 23:23). God will do mighty things for you. All you need to do is seek Him as the first thing in the morning. Ask Him to control you and your loved ones from conflicts. Make Jesus the head of your family and the ruler of your house. His peace will surely guard your hearts and minds in Him and you will have God dwelling in your midst.

Prayer:
Loving Father,

I give my family into Your hands. Be the head of my family and the ruler of my house. You control each one of us. Give us the grace to be at peace with each other. Let my family be a godly family. Dwell in our midst and bind us with you.

I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
