The model that we will adopt in our life and the things that define us; even in the most intimate and daily situations are that the ones that we live with our spouse and children. We all have a responsibility to fulfill in the edification of the home, which is why it is necessary that we do everything to make everything goes well, therefore, we cannot put our part of responsibility on another member of our families´ shoulders, because the responsibility must be shared. The first time that the Lord confronted the humanity; Adam blamed Eve of the committed sin, and her blamed the serpent, and at the end the serpent was the only one who accepted its responsibility. In the same way, in home sometimes we delegate to other the our responsibility; but still we do claim our rights. When we talk about edifying home, many times we make that this job falls upon one of the spouses; for instance, when we repeat Proverbs 14:1 that talks of the wise woman who edifies her house, but the foolish destroys it with her own hands, but let us see the next verse. Mat 7:24 KJ2000 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock: In the previous verse is the husband the one who edifies the home through the prudence, so if we join these two verses we will understand that this is responsibility of both spouses, including rights and obligations. In the first verse we see the entity which is the wisdom and the second one is the prudence. This verse explains us how and where the house is edified, which allows us to collate what we are living; for instance: it is necessary wonder if we are edifying our house upon the rock. We find that Eben-ezer is a composed word; which Eben means “rock” and Ezer means “help”, so if the rock is Chris, He is the one who helps us. So it is precise that we edify upon Eben, and for that we need to know what happens there. The first thing that we receive is the help, this means that in our house we need to help each other and teach our children to help too, as much as in the material things as in the spiritual things. We understand that one of the things that the rock must have is “help” although this many times is contrary to our culture, because men refuses to collaborate with the house shores, no matter if both spouses work and economically help to home. Exo 17:6 KJ2000 Behold, I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. The previous verse describes one of the most wonderful ways to edify a home, because only God; to whom there is nothing impossible, could conceive this idea of getting water out of the rock; this means that to our house it must be a miracle to be edified upon the obedience and faith, because God wants the best for us, and His promises are still available, but we need to believe and act in faith, although many times we go through many probes. When we live a miracle we must never doubt of it, nor underappreciate the prodigies that happen in our life, it is necessary that we preach the miracles that He does in our house every day, but above all, attribute Him all good things that happen to us.

If we are going to edify a house, we need to define which are the miracles that happen inside of it, and the things where is the mercy of God. It is for sure that we all have live things that we believe that are normal or are coincidence, but the truth is that there will be miracles on the rock, and there will be situations in our home that could only be done by God because they are impossible to us but not for Him, because He is Almighty! Jos 15:6 KJ2000 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: The previous verse talks about an extension of land, and here happened marks and signs, which aimed where to build their house, and one of the limits was the stone of Bohan. The name Bojan means “thumb”. The Bible relates the story of a king who use to cut the thumbs of hands and feet to the kings he defeated and made them eat the crumbs of bread under his table, with this he unable them to run, fight and hold a sword, because the thumb is the one that holds, and the thumb of the feed helps to keep the balance of the body and not fall. Figuratively all the fingers of the hand have a function, and each one of them have a meaning according to its position in the five ministries, where the thumb represents the apostle which looks to the others, the index finger represents the prophet who aims and indicate, the middle finger is the bigger and represents the evangelist, the ring finger is the pastor, he wears the ring that means commitment and the baby finger is the teacher. In such way that with all this we know that this is the apostolic rock which has to do with the restoration of homes, because the apostolic matters makes people make their foundations good on the doctrine. Jdg 7:25 KJ2000 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of Jordan. The previous verse talks about the battle of Gideon against the Midianites, who made Israel poor. It is interesting that was upon he rock or Oreb where Oreb was slew; the word Oreb without “h” means crow. With this we understand that it is necessary that we be edified upon the rock where the crow dies, and according the Bible the crow is an avenger against the children that attempt against their parents, because to the one who curses his mother and do not bless his father, the crows of the valley will rip his eyes of; as we read in the next verse: Pro 30:17 KJ2000 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young vultures shall eat it. Doubtless, this is linked to the familiar matter. When we edify the rock we are killing the one who wants to kill our children. We must find the way to teach our children in what the Lord had allowed us to work. Even children could succeed us even in the material matter. This is why big businessmen had to inherit people that were not their children and this happen because crows eat their vision, so if we edify upon the rock we will kill the crows and our children will have our vision and even go beyond. In the name of Jesus Christ we can beg the Father to kill the crow that takes the vision of our children, and so they can continue with our vision when we are no longer here, so our seed can

be still and face what comes with courage raise their hands to heaven blessing the name of Jesus and stopping whatever comes upon their lives. Our children will reach what we could not! Let us proclaim blessings upon our children so any curse can be broken, because God loves us. Let us cancel curses than any member of our family could declare against them, and instead of them declare blessings and that the promises of God can be fulfilled in their lives. Let us kill the crow that devours our vision of our children and instead let be blessings of God upon our house and our family.
