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
