How conducive is your House?

Mark 4: 35 -41

“Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion…” v 38

There is a popular Christian saying, that have been transcribed on placard, and you find it in almost all Christian home, even in our family house in the sitting room hanging on the wall in those days it is what you see as you enter. It reads thus:

Christ is the Head of this House.

The unseen Guest at Every meal

The silent listener to every conversation

But permit me to ask you? Is Christ really the head, is he invited to your meals and are your conversation what he could listen to. How conducive is your House? Can Jesus sleep there; Peter’s boat was so conducive that even in a storm, Christ was still sleeping.

That storm arises around you, does not mean Christ is not with you, provided you are sure you are not the leaving him. It is not only tidiness and cleanliness that makes a house conducive, what’s the relationship between you and your family members, what of your neighbours? do they have any thing good to say about you. Does your family pray together, share love, trouble, joy, peace and things together? It’s only when you stick together through love and praying, that Christ can be the head, a guest and a silent listener to every discussion in your home.

Prayer

Lord, help my family to be one that sticks together. Help heal broken homes around my neighbourhood in Jesus Name(Amen)

Common Sense

Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15. The issue of using ones common sense has been an issue of division among the body of Christ, even in this generation of motivational speakers. Men are neglecting the place of consulting God on critic issues or even smaller matter like traveling. And some of this issues or matters have brought some great trouble to the body of Christ, individuals or some trouble the Nation is facing now. From the Bible passage above, (Exodus 34:11-16) we saw how Joshua, a great servant of God, with the Israelite felled into this trap of common sense, because humanly speaking, checking of the provisions of the deceptive Gibeonite, was what common sense would do, but for them, they’ve forgotten that their life or being has gone beyond commonsense, God has been givi...

Family Prayer Series III: ALIGN WITH GOD

Reading & Meditation Joshua 24:1-15 “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” 15c We bless God for another gift of a day. We are still on the issue of the praying family. Another suggestion in helping our family pray together is the issue of aligning with God. Joshua from our today’s, passage, understood God’s purpose for himself and family, and would have probably be teaching them, practicing and obeying them with his family as instructed by God in Deuteronomy. This made him stand to the end, and at his good old age, he was still with God and could declare for his family; that they are partner with the Lord, till death. For your family to begin praying, then you must align with God’s plan and purpose. Before praying as a family, the family purpose and plans must be known by all members involved, provided they can understand issues of life. The place of your family in God’s scheme should be sought in prayer first. And over all, our goal in prayer ...
