Household of faith

by Apostle Romero on 16 November 2003

Gal 6:10 MKJV So then as we have time, let us work good toward all, especially toward those of the household of faith.

It doesn?t say ?of the organization of faith?. Are you ready for a shift in the household of faith. What is God doing in your church. God is changing the operation and face of the church from plastic networking relationships to a household.

How often does God not speak of the house of David, the house of Jacob and the household of faith. God is not interested in how big your network is. He wants to know, ?Is somebody building a house??

We are not emperors, we are fathers. Definition: A household is defined by the presence of a father. God is searching for fathers. Don?t preach at me, teach me life. Don?t give me a head full of knowledge, give me a heart full of principles.

From gatherers of finances to senders. Network is obsolete. God?s blessing has shifted. Network is a stepping stone into the household. Network has only a superficial relationship.

God does not work outside of covenant. God only works within the parameters of covenant. Adam said ?Bone of my bone?. I do not want any relationship in my life that doesn?t bear fruit. Some people just want the feeling, but doesn?t want to pay the price.

No intimacy without a covenant, without the possibility of bearing fruit. The Americanism that has infiltrated the church is a stench in the nostrils of God. The marketing.

A true successful household has the ability to produce sons in the household, not members, not slaves. A child is born, but a son is trained and raised up.

The spirit of adoption. A son is not on payroll. Which father pays his son to rule with him in the household? A hireling is paid. When a child was born in Israel, the father took the child and gave the responsibility to a faithful servant to train up the child in the way the father did things. Until 30 years old. Then the father would have a feast for the son and say to all his most important friends and partners: This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. From then on he has the authority to do business in the name of his father. He shows the family crest stitched on his clothes.

God seeks for households, for organic success, for those who sits under the father?s anointing to be trained as sons.

Two components:
Sons must understand the true dynamic of faith. Believe in the prophets and you shall prosper. Your breakthrough and prosperity is locked up in the mouth of your spiritual father. Learn to have faith in your spiritual father. He is a spiritual father, not a natural father. Know him after the spirit, not after the flesh. Receive what he carries. Believe in the words he speaks.

In the tabernacle, only the sons could become the next priest. It was the son?s responsibility to anoint the mantle of the priest with oil. It should never be dry. That mantle will become your?s.

Submission: Find out and discover the vision of your husband (or spiritual father), and position yourself according to it. His vision is my vision. The only difference is that he got it first. Jesus came to fulfill the vision of His Father, not His own.

The problem with organisation is this: I have a vision. Can you help me to get there? Pray for me, send me, etc. No: a son should pattern himself after the vision of his father.

God is moving from network to household. I carry spiritual seed deposited by a spiritual father. A wise son produces a harvest. A foolish son squanders it. Sons have privileges, fathers have responsibilities. Sons cover the weaknesses of the father. Don?t touch my father. I?m his son. I have covenant.
