Restoration of Families

When it comes to restoration of the family, Pastor Lilly often focuses on keeping a balance between blending the spiritual with the natural side of life. Genesis 18:19 says, "For I know him, that he will command his children, and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him". This speaks of father Abraham's walk with God and his relationship with his family that caused the blessing of God to rest upon them! Pastor Lilly constantly reminds us that the blessing must rest upon the head in order for everyone else connected to also reap the benefits.

In this society of healthy and unhealthy family situations, Pastor Lilly offers us hope for a brighter future as he directs us to Job 42: 12-13, "So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. These passages of scripture remind us that it also took not just the spiritual but also the natural working together to reach a place of victory in a family! The "later end" implies that there was something else that took place before Job got it all together!
