Mother’s Day: Stake a Claim - Pastor Josiah Elias

Something remarkable happens when believers truly take ownership of the things and people that God has called them to take ownership of. To “stake a claim” on behalf of our families is one of those Godly areas we should be fighting for. Our families are people that God has given us ownership of and we ought to be fighting for our families. We spend too much time fighting with our families instead of fighting for our families. Nehemiah found a way to rally the families to fight for each other against a common enemy. God honored it. Jesus fought for the disciples whom the Father gave to Him to take care of — and He did. Then later in Acts 16 there’s a remarkable story of a woman of God who fought on behalf of her family and stewarded the resources God gave her to accomplish much for the Kingdom. This all happens when we take ownership and stake a claim for the those God has given to us!
