From Broken Roots to Royal Blood
“But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
Your family’s story might not be perfect. Maybe it’s messy. Maybe it’s marked by dysfunction, brokenness, or generational pain. But here’s the truth: Jesus can redeem your family name.
Look at Ruth. She came from Moab - a people born out of incest, a culture twisted with immorality, where brokenness was the norm. Yet she looked back at her past and said, “No more. Your God will be my God. Your people will be my people.” That was her decision. She walked away from the patterns of her past and into the purposes of God. And because of that decision, she married Boaz. Together, they had Obed. Obed had Jesse. Jesse had David. Yes, that David. The shepherd boy who became king.
And do you know who anointed David? The prophet Samuel. First Samuel 3 says not one of his words fell to the ground. He heard God clearly. And Samuel was a son of Korah, a descendant of the very man who rebelled against God. But Samuel said, “That rebellion ends with me.”
What’s your story? What generational patterns have tried to define your family name? Addiction? Divorce? Depression? Rebellion? You don’t have to wear that label anymore.
When Jesus gets into your life, He breaks every curse. He rewrites every chapter. He redeems every name.
And this isn't just about you. It's about your children. Your children’s children. Your unborn great-grandchildren. That means your worship, your decisions, your surrender - it echoes forward. Your decisions are not just for yourself, but for your lineage. Say it from your soul: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
You are building a new legacy, one marked by mercy, healing, and holiness. Let Jesus get in your genes. Let your family be known not for what was, but for what God is doing now. Pray today, “Jesus, I surrender my family to You. Break every generational curse and establish a new legacy of faith, worship, and righteousness. Let my home be known for Your presence. Use me to shift the course of generations. In Your name, Amen.”
