What are some examples of household gods? Asians in particular have these items which they would worship with food and incense and of course with time and money. How about other people of other nations? Their gods come in different shapes and sizes. Some are in the form of animals, some in human images, some in mountains and trees, some in sun, moon and stars and some in unknown creatures.
How about modern people? What do you think are their household gods? It may unknowingly be their stomach, their material possessions, their spouses, their beliefs, their iPads, their iPhones, their tablets or their football clubs and star players.
Why do we need to be careful with these household gods? Reflectively you will realize how these consume lots of your time, money and these translate to your life. When it takes control over your life, you know you have a household god.
How to clear these household gods? To take back your life you need to stop clinging to these gods. It is like making effort to get rid of the habit of smoking. Simply stop is the first step. It is in fact a paradigm shift from worshipping one god to worshipping what your heart speaks to you as the one true God. The old is gone, the new must come. So when clearing the old, be sure the old has gone, then the new can come.
