I always like to start with something personal, so please bear it with me!

I think I shared this story once before. When I was a kid and my parents were renovating our house, we came across some unbelievably cruel remodeling contractors. A contract was signed, money was transferred, yet we didn’t obtain the results we wanted. The quality of materials they used was apparently less than optimal and their workmanship was worst. We knew that we had to stop the blessing. But, doing so would mean spending more on undoing and redoing the poorly-completed work.

The home was so significant to us that we started praying and fasting. One day, my mom got the revelation that we needed to write Biblical scriptures on the frames and walls around the house. Doing so did not only bless our home but also made our renovation project a huge success. So, why don’t you try the same?

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

“And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.”
