Speaker: *Zaphaniah Yakubu.*
Topic: *THE FORGOTTEN CHURCH (2) _The church in your house_*
(The negligence of Parent/ the Overseers of the home church)
*Texts:* 1 Sam 2:1-12-36, 1 Tim 3:1-16, Phil 1:1-3, Rom 16:5.
The Bible records that Eli's sons were scoundrels and had no regard for the Lord. They treated the Lord's offering with contempt by taking the fattiest portions of the meat that were meant to be sacrificed for the Lord (1 Samuel 2:15) Eli's sons also slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting (1 Samuel 2:22) *However, Eli failed to discipline his sons and turn them from their wicked ways.*
The Lord God was not pleased with Eli and said to him: *"Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people of Israel?"* _(1 Samuel 2:30-32)_ Therefore, the Lord said to Eli, *"all your descendants will die in the prime of their life".* (1 Samuel 2:33)
_*What important lessons can fathers (Overseers) learn from Eli and his sons?*_
Parents are bishops (Overseers of the churches at home).
Every young man planning to marry should know that he is taking a mantle of leadership and stewardship over his wife and children (the church at home)
Let us all restore the altar of worship, pray, fellowship and Bible study in our house.
*Charity begins at home.*
A good home is a good church.
Let us all do our work deligently so that we can have a glorious church.
*ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THE HOME IS THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST, WHATEVER WE DO IN THE HOME DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE FUTURE OF THE SAINTS.*
*Shalom and may the fire of revival fall on us all.*
