THE KINGDOM FAMILY.
Texts:-1 Peter 2:9-10.
Some facts we must know about HOUSES & HOMES.
The houses we see around is not the HOME!!!
There are scarcity of HOMES in many big HOUSES we see around .
The real home is built by a man, a woman, in partnership with the Almighty God.
The real home is the foundation of a very strong NATIONHOOD .and this is the main reason why the devil hates homes with perfect hatred!
& the naked truth is that the devil is achieving a great success in destroying homes,including Christian marriages.
There are three types of family raised to occupy the society: namely:-
1. THE NON KINGDOM FAMILY:- All of them belongs & are controlled by satan.
2. THE HERE AND THERE FAMILY:- These are all sitting on the fence,
They are neither cold nor hot,
They are easily push around !
They are what you can refer to as ALL SEASON FAMILY !!!
Anything goes in their camp.
These type of family is also like layer chickens in the cage of the devil,they are been fed to lay more, to be called out when they are no longer useful for its operations.
3. Psalm 144:12-15. THE KINGDOM FAMILY.
The kingdom family is where the scripture is guiding them.
They are all fully submitted to the Holy Spirit & it's fruits.
Christ is their overall head.
The husband is the physical head.
The wife is the submitted queen of the house; &
The children are the prince & princess of the KINGDOM FAMILY.
In the kingdom family: they refer all their cases to the throne room of the Almighty .
They are the good mirror of the society,
The fear of The Lord is supreme in the kingdom family.
Self ;pride;haughty spirit is an alien in the kingdom family.
Unity ,togetherness submission is their watchword in the KINGDOM FAMILY.
God's agenda is the only thing they pursue in THE KINGDOM AMILY!!! No hidden agenda by any member of the KINGDOM FAMILY.
In the kingdom family: the husband is standing firm to take all the responsibilities of the home, including LOVING, CARING,PROTECTION,PROVISIONS.
The wife is the true SUPPORTER,PARTNER,MOTHER OF ALL & HOME MAKER. She is the true picture of Proverbs 31.
All members of the family never built on the weak point of each other & use it to take evil advantage of it. They bear each others burdens
Sincerity ,Loyalty,Dependence, Commitment to each members cause is trade mark in the KINGDOM FAMILY
True sacrifice with total submission has higher mark in the kingdom family.
That is where you find the picture of TRUE LOVE.
A song writer wrote these about the KINGDOM FAMILY:-
Where family prayer is said daily
God's word is regularly read
And faith in Christ is never dead
That is a Christian home.
Where father,mother, sister,brother,
All have true love for one another
And no one ever hates the other,
That is a Christian home.
Where family quarrels are pushed aside
To let the love of God abide
Ere darkness fall on the eventide
That is a Christian home.
Where Jesus Christ is the host and guest
Through whom we have eternal rest,
And Him are forever blest,
That is a Christian home.
