BATTLEFIELD NOTES #3: PRACTICAL HOSPITALITY
The Home That Preaches
For years, I thought my home was just a place to collapse after the grind. But God has shown me — the home is a pulpit. The walls carry witness. The table preaches louder than any sermon.
I’ve seen both sides: a house filled with tension and lies, and now the vision of a home consecrated to God. A fortress where darkness has no foothold. A table where laughter, prayer, and bread break chains. Hospitality is not decoration — it’s discipleship.
The Battlefield Reality
The enemy has convinced men that their home is neutral ground. It is not. Every home is either a foothold of the Kingdom or a playground of the enemy.
Too many men abandon this battlefield. They let weeds choke the yard, let devices disciple their kids, and let silence replace blessing. Others build castles for their egos instead of sanctuaries for God’s presence.
Hospitality doesn’t start with scented candles. It starts with covenant men who say: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
The Word of God
Joshua 24:15 – “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Romans 12:13 – “Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.”
1 Peter 4:9 – “Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.”
Practical Hospitality as Warfare
Consecrate the Space – Pray over your home. Anoint the doors. Declare it belongs to Jesus.
Set the Table – Invite others to eat. Meals disarm pride and open hearts. Fellowship is warfare against isolation.
Build Rhythms – Family prayer at night, worship on Sundays, open-door policy for brothers in Christ. Order creates peace.
Guard the Atmosphere – Music, words, and media shape the spirit of your home. Choose life.
Welcome Strangers – Hospitality is evangelism. The table can win souls long before the pulpit.
The Charge
Kingsman, your home is not just for you. It is a fortress against the enemy and a table for the weary. The devil hates homes that are alive with prayer, laughter, and fellowship. He trembles at men who open their doors and say, “This house belongs to the Lord.”
You don’t need a mansion. You don’t need perfection. You need courage to consecrate what you already have and offer it up for the Kingdom.
Rise, set your table, open your door. Make your home a weapon in the hand of God.
