Family life part ii
In our first publication on family life we, saw that God is so much interested in our family and there is the need for us to make amends where ever we have erred.We concluded by saying that God is our father and that if we realize where we have erred, and go back ,that he will not disown us. The question now in this continuation is. How is your family life like? Can you make both of your family as a responsible father/mother?if say yes, bravo! If you say no, there is room for a change. Your can not have a true happy family without Jesus at the center of your family life.What is then the basis of a happy family? The answer is not far fetch. The answer is knowing God, his word and applying it in any given situation in your family.Ask your self in any given situation:this step that I am about to take, will it please God? Or what will Jesus do in this kind of situation. If you are confused ask God and allow him give you an answer.Except if you are faking your christian life. If indeed you are a true christian, you will always seek the face of God and to please the Him, If you say no, meaning that your are not a fake christian, then behave like a child of God in your home.
Why would you be a terror in you home and go out there to behave like a saint You appear there as if you are a caring and loving person. Who are you deceiving. You can deceive man but cannot deceive God.
An adage says that charity begins from home. But with your contrary attitude to this adage, you are saying charity begins from outside. Remember that what ever you do out there, while your family is languishing in pain is not of God: why because God is interested in that family that he has put you in charge you will one day, answer for it. Know ye that the first group of people you see, before you go out there to give a wrong picture of your self, is your family.
Do not get me wrong, there is nothing bad assisting people out there. yes God loves that: remember we are dealing with the subject of what God wants from a christian home. We should be living example.Ambassador for Christ A home where love radiates from. "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven" Matt chapter 5 verse 16. Your family should stand out as a christian home around your neighborhood. My wife or husband is stubborn/difficult, he or she nags, not neat. not understanding, so demanding all these are known: and can not be ruled out: but remember you are doing the will of God who has asked you to love. Love him, love her despite those short comings of his/hers. Love him/her because your heavenly father has asked you to do so. Is in obeying God, that he will fight for you Obey him first and see what God will do.By your hating. fighting, quarreling, nagging keeping two homes divorce and separation will not solve the matter and can not change any thing, but rather it will worsen the situation.Do your bit and commit him/her to his/her maker. Human strategy will rake more havoc in your home. Is only God that can touch and change any people no matter how difficult the person might be. Is only God that has the ability to change any human being. Love is another powerful weapon to win any human being. I am not saying that it will be very easy , but the scripture tells me that with God, nothing shall be impossible Luke 1 verse 37. As far as your are on the Lord"s side you will over come. I have not seen evil over take good or darkness over take light. Hear the conclusion of the matter 1st John chapter 4 verse 7-12- 7 Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another, 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us verse 20. If a man say, I love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar: For he that loveth not his brither whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? Can you beat that? You can turn a new leaf tody. It is not yet late. Just ask God to come into your life with sincerely of heart he will and with him stepping into your family, You family life will be sweetened and will become a testimony and wonder to all who knew you before. Praise the Lord! Halleluyah

Our family life part 1
We would take a look into our family life, So that at the end of the day we will score ourselves most especially Christian homes. The Bible teaches that the institution of family is of divine origin and purpose. The Bible has guide line for families to stay together; but what do we see today in families. Instead of enjoying they are enduring. Wife enduring Husband Husband enduring wife and children enduring their parents. Where is the place of the Biblical guide line in your family. Some one would want to say this writer does not understand what I am going though or what I have gone though. There is no gainsaying about that.You are very right and correct. I would want say may be thing are no longer the way they were when you got married him or her. But remember on your wedding day both of you were very happy; and the officiating Minister asked several question which were answered by both of you There was one that ended this way "for better and for worse till death do us path" Now things are not the way they were. Business is no longer booming, Husband lost his job, wife has not yet had a child for you, feeding allowance has dropped, children have let the wonderful private colleges they hitherto attended. All these were seen and that was why that for better and for worse come during that wedding day. So that it will check mate you, when difficult time comes. This was so because when such a time which we do not pray for comes, you would know what can of treatment give or decision you would take against you spouse.In families you see divorce on the high side, families are beset, break down of authority, no quality time with the children and a lot of others issue that does not gladden the family. Ephesians 5 verse 22 "Wives submit yourselves unto your husband as unto the Lord" and Ephesians 5 verse 25 it say "Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it" In Ephesians 6 verse 1-3 " Children, Obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour your father and mother: which is the first commandment with a promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And verse 4 added by saying " and ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Our families will not meet up with God's divine purpose if any of these is missing.Can your now see that God balanced the equation for our families, Hear what 2 Timothy 2 verse 15 has to say to us " Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth" Did you get that? studying does not only imply to studying your Bible, speak in tongue, prophesy and lay hands. No, it is more than that. You have to study your wife, wife you have to study your husband and as you study yourselves so will you also study your children. If you have only one child study he or she if you ten study the ten that is the only way you can show your self approved unto God....... If your pull all the crowed and there is no peace in your family Sir and Ma you have just missed it. If you have your Bible, open to 1st Corinthians 13 verse 1-13. As you studying this passage go ahead. I will allow you ponder as that head of the family Husband of that christian home. Father and mother that has children where are your children or child, where is your wife, where is your husband. That woman that you are kissing and romancing is she yours? That man in your arm is he your husband? Why would you make your family sad? Come, God is ever willing to receive you he is your father he will not disown you. Till we meet again. stay blessed
