As we draw close to the end of this wonderful year and the beginning of a new year, there is need for us to look into the place of prayer in the family. A man of God said that what you are experiencing today is a result of prayers said or not said yesterday(s). So, you determine the future of your family by your prayers today. Today, I would like to share an article from one of my mentors (Pastor Faith Oyedepo) on Family Altar. Enjoy and be blessed.

In today’s fast-paced world, where men and women are busy working round the clock to make ends meet, most Christian homes have long forgotten this integral part of the family foundation, which is the family altar.
What is family altar?
The word family altar simply means a time when all family members gather together in worship, sharing of the Word and in prayer. One of the gimmicks of the devil to attack homes today is to successfully lure them away from praying together, and before you know what is happening, the family that was once happy and united, gradually falls apart. No wonder a wise man said ‘the family that prays together stays together.’ No doubt, prayer is one of the foundation stones of a happy family. Therefore, watch out so that your foundation does not get out of place.
The Bible says:
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3).
I would like to share with you the purposes of the family altar. Myles Munroe said, “If the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable,” I agree absolutely.
