Textual Sauce: Psalm 101 vs 1- 8
Topic: Pre-requisite
for Godly home: A home two must build
INTRODUCTION:
I
give honour to the Lord for the privilege given to me for this topic, Pre-requisite
for Godly home: a home two must
build. This topic shall be based on how to build Godly home and I believe
that at the end of this lesson, God will help our singles to have Godly home
and those that have one problem or the other in their homes will God rebuild
their homes by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
What is Godly home? It is a home that
God takes absolute control; a home that has the atmosphere of peace. If you
enter a Godly, you will notice God’s presence. There is a song that say “when Jesus is in the family happy happy
home, happy happy home.”
Pre-requisite for Godly home
1. Seeking
Gods face before chosen your life partner, with this, it will be very easy to
establish or have God’s expected home. The reason is because God is in the
right position to choose life partner, He is our maker, He alone knows the best
for us.
2. Now speaking
of existing homes. Psalm 101:1-8. Whatever your role in the family, it is your
responsibility. If you are the father, building a Godly home will obviously
require a personal commitment. But if the mother doesn’t make a priority, she
will have a tough time getting the job done. Every member of the family has to
help with this work. You certainly won’t be able to control what your neighbours
are doing, or what the rest of the people are doing, but you can make some
decisions for your home, for your family, that will be incredibly beneficial to
you, and bring honour to God and your.
About Godly home. 1Peter 3:7
Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in
an understanding way. Showing honour to the woman as the weaker vessel, since
they are heirs with you of the grace of life so that your prayers may not be
hindered. As father and mother, we have a lot to do in order to establish or
have a Godly home. God referred to the father as the head of the family. I want
us to study these two diagram.
Father Mother
The head comprises of the
Eyes: For seeing (vision)
Ear: To hear from God.
With these diagrams, we discover that
the head is useless without the body, meaning both parent have significant
roles to play in building a Godly home.
Steps
(1) Teach the word: Colossians 3 vs 16. Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in
all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual song with thanksgiving in
your hearts to God.
Psalm 78:3 – 4, Which we have heard
and known and our father have told us. We will not hide them from their
children.
Abraham
is a typical example of a father who taught his children the ways of God. He
turned his children to disciples. Genesis 18 vs 19 for I have him, that he may
command his children and his house hold after him to keep the way of the Lord
by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what
he has promised him.
Once
again, how do you build a strengthen Godly home? What is could be its
foundation? Nothing but God’s word. Joshua 24 vs 14, John 14 vs 23, Joshual 1
vs 18, 2 Cor. 6 vs 18, Epg. 3 vs 14-15, Psalm 121 vs 1-2.
(2) Be mindful
about music & film
There is no wasted time at home. In
verse 1 of psalm 101 there is the proclamation that “I will sing praise!” And
of course the entire instruction comes in the Bibles. Do you know there is a clear connection
between the music we listen to and the action we take?
A recent study by the RAND
corporation that followed more than 1,400 teens for 3 years showed that
sexually charged lyrics had a direct impact on the sexually actions of those
who listened to those lyrics.
What kind of cages have you built in
your home.
Is
there a cage around your television or are the children able to watch anything
they want.
Direction from God
As
Christians, our overall direction in life is determine by our own commitment to
God. We must remember to ask Him to direct our lives. Trust in the Lord with all
your heart and lean not unto your understanding; In all your ways acknowledge
him and he shall direct your paths. Proverb 3 vs 5 – 6
You need prayer in that house:
In Luke 19 vs 46 Jesus said, my house
will be a house of prayer. Teach your children that God will answer their
prayers. If God house is a house of prayer, yours should be one too.
Building a home
through sex:
It is good for a man to have his own
wife because of the temperature to sexual immorality, each man should have his
own wife and each wife her own husband. The husband should give to his wife to
her husband for the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the
husband does.
Do
not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time that
you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again so that Satan
may not tempt you because of lack of self-control. Every marriage with
unsatisfactory sexual relations will end like Titanic ship. Research shows most
broken homes ended this way because of unsatisfactory sexual relations. When you
want to manage your home, you must put sex and give sex a priority over every
issues, because sex is the basis and foundation of every marriage after love. A
marriage without sex (a satisfactory sex) is not a home. Both parties must be
satisfied. The language and signs that shows my partner needs sex should be
well understood.
Train your child to honour you, others and themselves:
Exodus 20:17 Honour your father and your mother that your days may be long
in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
In conclusion: All the wealth
in the world cannot be compared with the happiness of living together and to be
happily united.
Thanks,
Dupe Atoyebi
