THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY
AFamily is a unit of people from the same bloodline. They are the fundamental unit of society and a community. The family is entitled to respect, support, protection, and assistance from one another. Family is God ordained because He is a God of order. The family structure is as follows: God, Christ, Man, Woman, and Children. We were created to have beautiful fellowship with family and be a union in peace loving one another unconditionally. Unfortunately, not every family will be close as superglue

There will always be arguments, brawls, let downs, disagreements, and distant relationships. When this happens oftentimes giving your sibling their space can help with healing from these issues. Never should it be a permanent disagreement for family to hold grudges, bitterness, or unforgiveness. The enemy satan wants families to be divided holding unforgiveness so that he can bring division and caused everyone to remained distracted and feel unloved.
Family is important to our Heavenly Father not only because He love us but, when we receive His Spirit of salvation we are adopted back into His family. He gives us values, morals, principles, and laws to abide by so that we represent Him in everything we do and say just as His son
Yeshua the Christ. He loves every family member unconditionally with an everlasting love and desires families to love one another with the same kind of forgiving love.
90% of families consist of more than one child and children have siblings. Oftentimes when brothers and sister become adults, they have arguments or disputes. Unfortunately, it can lead to a falling out of the close relationship that was once present in the lives of the brothers or sisters. When this happens, it causes stress and even sadness with the parents to know their children are not speaking to one another. Women play a vital role in the family circle they contribute to their communities, marriages, jobs, churches, and their own children up bring and home training. These women are sisters, and aunts of the family circle and satan works overtime to cause division among sisters because he knows backbiting, gossip, and bitterness is against the laws of our Heavenly Father.
Families that Pray together, Stay together
Always remember your family is important and no matter what happens nothing is worth the separation of family from one another. Whatever disagreements occur resolve as soon as possible because nothing or no one can replace your family members. Always humbly forgive, always love, and always remain respectful towards family because in doing so you are honoring the guidelines of our Heavenly Father towards His children and your family.
Family Prayer
Heavenly Father our hearts are trouble because of the heated exchanges that we have been having as a family. We have turned against each other instead of fighting for our family. Lord remove anger and strive from the midst for where there is strife there is every evil work. Guide us to follow your will and plans to bring our family closer together in Jesus Mighty name AMEN
A Family that prays together stays together. They stay together in unity because when they pray against the enemy satan is exposed. When families pray, they are doing the will of our Heavenly Farther by keeping an active family prayer lifestyle as well as environment. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7) KJV.
Over the last three to four decades you would hear families mention reunions or gathering were never the same after the passing of grandma. Well that was because grandma being a woman prayed for the family and kept peace among the members. Grandma knew the importance of family unity and family prayers.
If you or any of your extended families are having disagreements it is important that you be the one to forgive first to bring peace. Share with the family that someone must pray so that unity and respect can be shown in the eyes of the Heavenly Father as well as other members who are not a part of any disagreements. Remember there are other always watching including the children.
