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
