50 MFM Restoration Prayer Points for Recovering Lost Family Values, Honor and Godly Principles
PRAYER FOCUS
This prayer programme focuses on restoring godly family values, honor, integrity, discipline, respect, responsibility, love, truthfulness, prayer, biblical principles, healthy communication, and a strong sense of family identity.
The warfare emphasis is against bitterness, dishonor, selfishness, deception, neglect, destructive influences, moral compromise, uncontrolled anger, disobedience, unhealthy peer pressure, materialism, and patterns that erode the spiritual and relational foundation of the home.
The objective is not to recreate the past blindly, but to recover what is biblically good, repair what has been damaged, and establish healthier family practices for the present and future.
BIBLE EXHORTATION
Joshua 24:15 declares:
“As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
A godly family is not built merely by living under the same roof.
It is built through love, truth, prayer, discipline, integrity, forgiveness, responsibility, service, respect, and intentional instruction.
Deuteronomy 6:6–7 teaches parents to diligently teach God’s commands to their children.
Proverbs 22:6 emphasizes intentional training.
Ephesians 6:4 instructs parents to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
The restoration of family values therefore begins with personal example.
Children learn not only from what parents say but from what parents repeatedly demonstrate.
A family cannot restore honor by demanding it while practicing dishonor.
A family cannot restore integrity by teaching truth while tolerating deception.
Therefore, this prayer programme calls every family member to return to God, embrace truth, practice love, restore responsibility, and demonstrate the values they desire to see in others.
PROPHETIC ILLUSTRATION
Imagine an old house whose foundation was once strong.
Over the years, neglect allowed cracks to appear.
The doors became loose.
The roof deteriorated.
The rooms became disorganized.
But the foundation was still there.
A wise builder does not simply demolish everything.
He examines the structure, repairs what is damaged, removes what is dangerous, strengthens what is weak, and rebuilds according to a better plan.
The family can be like that house.
Some values may have weakened.
Honor may have disappeared.
Prayer may have declined.
Communication may have broken down.
Truthfulness may have been compromised.
But restoration is possible.
The prophetic picture is: “What is good shall be recovered. What is damaged shall be repaired. What is unhealthy shall be removed. What is weak shall be strengthened. And my family shall be rebuilt upon Christ-centered values, truth, love, wisdom, responsibility, and righteousness.”

BIBLE READING
Joshua 24:14–15
“Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth…”
“…choose you this day whom ye will serve…”
“But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
This passage presents a powerful family principle:
A godly household must make intentional choices.
Family values do not automatically survive from one generation to another.
They must be taught.
They must be modeled.
They must be practiced.
They must be corrected when violated.
And they must be continually brought under God’s authority.
