Pastor's Reflections
"For
I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him and
they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD
may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him". Genesis
18:19
The honourable family is the awesomeness
of a true Christian home. And a Christian home is one that radiates Christ in
which the members learn to regard one another as having equal rights with full
loyalty, honesty and co-operation and love in manifesting team role as
Father/Husband leads. Just as scripture confirmed that, Abraham will command
his entire household in a Godly manner.
1. GOD FEARING FATHERS.
God has placed the husband as head
of the home. Abraham commanded his household faithfully. The household include
the wife, children and servants. The husband as a God fearing father is
required to be faithful to his wife, comfort his wife in times of sorrow
according to 1 Samuel 1:8: Then said Elkanah her husband to her , Hannah, why weepest thou? ... May we be a God fearing father in Jesus
unfailing name.
2. GOD FEARING MOTHERS.
Almost all great men have been made
greatly by one or two loving women- a godly mother or a devoted wife. They are
tremendous assets to their generation with two major duties to perform;
i. The first duty is to love and
serve Christ. Luke 14:26.
ii The second duty is to obey her
husband in full submission, not in manipulating her husband. "Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord". Ephesians
5:22.
3. GOD FEARING CHILDREN
Isaac was exemplary in Genesis
chapter 22, by carrying the wood without murmuring.
Samuel was most exemplary with
instant obedience even in the middle of the night. I Samuel 3:10
Jesus as a child was obedient to his
parents in Luke 2:51.
I prophesy that our children will
honour their parents as the Almighty God will make the covenant of longevity to
manifest in their lives on the surface of this earth. – Ephesians 6:1-3
In conclusion
- We are God’s own family, honoured with Favour, Grace, Divine strength, Divine
peace, Divine health, and Divine revelation of God’s words. We are also bearers
of Victory, Success, and Progress in God’s Presence; may we not experience
failure, calamity, sickness, backwardness, backsliding in Jesus name. (Amen)
Honourable Family, Remain bless in
Jesus name.
--Rev. Samson Adeyiga
