Text:
Ephesians 6:1-9

Topic: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR FAMILY LOVE/CONFLICT -5-❓

Memory verse:
Ephesians 6:1

Message:
Many children today, even in Christian families, see disobedience as a way of life. They refer to their parents as “old school” and so see their pieces of advice and guidance as obsolete. But the message today is to draw Christian children back to the Bible and their senses. God has set a standard for children in every family, He knows that the family cannot be completely harmonious if the children are not properly guided.

The Bible demands that children honour their father and mother. In the commandment of God, given through Moses, this is the first commandment with a promise. This means that for any child to do well in life and live long and in good health, the child must be obedient and honour parents. This indisputable condition for the well-being of every child is not limited to any nation.

The word of God is the same everywhere. No nation’s constitution can change it. Excessive children liberty practised in many places and by many families is causing families and the world great harm.

As you reflect on this message today, any child, your society, nation or age notwithstanding, of you are desirous of spending eternity with your Maker, begin to think about your life. Have you been honouring your parents? Do you heed their instructions?

Repent before God today and apologize to your parents. Ask God to help you in this service.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Instructions are given to avert destruction.

PRAYER:
Oh Lord, grant me the grace to always obey Your instructions. Amen.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Isaiah 41-43; Mark 10: 32-52

Text :
Ephesians 5:22-33

Topic :
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR FAMILY LOVE/CONFLICT -4-❓

Memory verse:
Ephesians 5:25

Message :
Making the best of any marriage is the responsibility of both the husband and the wife. A woman was always running to a sister’s house after receiving a very bad beating from her husband. On close enquiry, it was discovered that the problem was her husband and her people. They lived in her husband’s family house and her husband was always acting on his mother’s or elder brother’s complaint about his wife without hearing from his wife. It got so bad that the wife had to run for her dear life. She left the marriage with her children of both sexes.

The Scripture we read commands husband to love their wives as Christ loves the church. This means that the husband is under divine command to love and protect his wife to the extent that he will be sincerely ready to die for her, loving her like his own body. Therefore, the husband has to leave his father and mother and be joined unto his wife and they two shall become one flesh. The husband should not run his marriage as the head by the head by the contributions or dictates of his parents, siblings, friends or any other relation. This also applied to the wife.

So, daddy, as you read this message today, can you ask yourself these questions: have I really been the husband God designed and desired? Have I always taken the advice of my God-given helpmeet above others? Have I sought the opinion of others above my wife’s in the face of trouble? When last did I tell my wife, “I am sorry” Repent before God and your wife today.let this love be extended to your children too.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
Husband, love your wife and be not bitter against her.

PRAYER:
Oh Lord, give me grace to always be the husband You want me to be in Jesus’ name. Amen.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Isaiah 39-40; Mark 10:1-31

Ephesians 5:22 -33

Topic : WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR FAMILY LOVE/CONFLICT -3-❓

Memory verse:
Ephesians 5:33

Message :
A woman boldly said she and her husband had not slept together for years. That sounded very odd and surprising! She was asked how they both coped. And she replied they were in different businesses, so they just get up in the morning, get ready for business and leave and each would come in at different times. As the discussion continued, it was discovered their feelings for each other was completely gone and that the problem started from unsettled misunderstandings and misinterpretation of actions. She was counseled with Scriptural position on marriage intimacy. And to the glory of God, she went home very sober. Today, her husband drives around with her, which indicates a better marriage relationship.

From the passage we read today, the wife and husband, each has a big role to play. The woman is ‘commanded’ to submit to her husband in ‘everything’. This is not a plea or suggestion but an order that must be strictly adhered to if the wife must make heaven at last. Some of the problems start when some women begin to make more money than their husbands but they forget that from the day they took the marital vow, their husbands became their heads in all things. Other problems are lack of trust and communication breakdown.

Every mother reading this devotional today should spend some quiet time with the Lord alone. Think back to when and how you started; has your relationship with your husband grown better or worse? If better, more grace. But if worse, repent before God and ask for your husband’s forgiveness. Learn to always say “I am sorry” when you are wrong. Let this reconciliation and restoration be extended to your children. The family must be “ONE”.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
Wives submit to your own husbands in all things.

PRAYER:
Oh Lord, help, me to always obey Your word in my marriage, so that i will be in charge of my Family Love. Amen.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Isaiah 37-38; Mark 9:30-50

DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Tuesday 4th February, 2020

TOPIC:
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR FAMILY LOVE/CONFLICT❓ -2-

KEY VERSE:*
“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” (James 4:1, NIV).

TODAY’S TEXT*
EPHESIANS 6:1-4, COLOSSIANS 3:20-21

MESSAGE*

Our concern today is the fact that there is crises in many homes because the
children are discouraged and embittered. Some of our children are discouraged
because many of us have failed to be worthy examples of Christian life and
conduct. As a matter of fact many of them go through a lot of mental trauma trying to reconcile the truth we share from the scriptures and our daily lifestyles which happens to prove the opposite of the faith we profess.

It is also worrisome that in many homes, children are left to fend for themselves. Their basic needs are not provided for and yet the parents preach
moral rectitude. Another crises point is where parents care more for their
profession, jobs, career dreams and ministries and have no time for their
children. At times you wonder, why there is no marked difference in the moral
responses between the children from our homes and that of unbelieving
parents because we have abdicated the primary responsibility of biblical and spiritual training of our children to the school and Sunday school teachers.

Without mincing words, it has to be made clear here that the very core of
Christian nurture is this: the heart of the father must be turned to the heart of
the child in order that to bring the heart of the child to the heart of the Saviour
(Luke 1:17).

Someone has asked very lately, why are some of our children leaving our
church? What will become of our Pentecostal heritage if our children’s hearts
are elsewhere? May today’s lesson mark a reconciliation between parents and
their children. Let apologies be made and forgiveness sought and offered. Real
and absolute peace shall reign in our homes in Jesus name, Shalom!

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*

Couples should understand and co-operate together to make their home peaceful.

PRAYER*

I pray that conflict and crisis should be far away from my family. Amen.

BIBLE STUDY IN ONE YEAR*

Isaiah 34-36
Mark 9:1-29

Monday 3 February 2019

Text :
Ephesians 5:22-33

Topic :
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR FAMILY LOVE/CONFLICT❓

Memory verse:
Ephesians 4:26

Message :
Welcome to the Family week. Perhaps February is a month of LOVE as widely speculated Throughout this week we shall be dealing with issues relating to the building of healthy Homes/Families. Today and tomorrow we shall be looking at causes and resolution of conflicts in our homes. Let us look at one of causes of conflicts in the family.

One of the basic causes of uproar in the family is the issue of “FINANCE”. In many of the cases it is either that a spouse is reckless in spending or stingy to a fault. At some instances, finance related crises are caused when a spouse is lazy and yet very demanding and overtly irresponsible. Whatever may be the case, peace can be achieved in our homes when husband assume their God given responsibility of providing for the family while the wives take up their assigned tasks of care and resource management. Women who are privileged to become bread winners should learn to be humble and submissive while their husbands must reciprocate that gesture with love, fidelity and understanding. Families that want freedom from financial pressures should also consider adopting the budgeting system and ensure they do not vagrantly live above their means. They should as well take a resolution to avoid going a borrowing especially borrowing to buy liabilities.

No matter what is the cause of a family crises, the scriptures provide that a husband’s love and the wife’s submission are the most essential tools for resolving the conflicts in the home. Let’s apply these rules and trust God for uncommon results.

In the passage we read, Apostle Paul admonished the Ephesians to submit themselves to one another as Christ to the Church and gave His life for it. As the wife submits to her husband so also the man should love his wife. They need to pray together in order not give room external forces. A family that prays together stays together.

N/B: a “family with only one source of income suffers depression”

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
Love and humility are the cornerstone for building crisis free homes

PRAYER:
Dear God, give me wisdom and understanding to handle my family issue Amen

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Isaiah 32-33; Mark 8

Text :
Acts 16:18 -26

Topic :
HOPE YOU ARE STILL PRAISING GOD❓

Memory verse:
Act 16:25

Message :
It is a very popular saying that prayers move mountains, while praises move God. If you were given the option of moving either mountains or God, certainly you will prefer to move God to mountains. While one is not undermining the importance of prayers, one should also realize the vital place of praising God. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people, especially Christians complain a lot, while still enjoying the many benefits of God in their lives. Some just choose to magnify their problem all the time, rather than counting the manifold blessing on their lives. Most of us are guilty of this.

Our text shows two vibrant men who were put in prison without any just cause. Rather than sit down in prison and blame God for not fighting for them and allowing them to suffer, the Bible says that Paul and Silas prayed and sang great songs of praise to God. And, the shackles that held them bound broke loose miraculously. Praise God!

Brethren, it does not matter the situation that you are facing right now. It does not matter if the whole world has turned it’s back on you. What matters is that you still have God. Praise God continually even in that situation and you will see God turn things around for your sake. Hallelujah! Thank God for the blessings of seeing a New Month of February

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
Praise God always and He will be with you always.

PRAYER:
Lord, Jesus, help me to always praise you irrespective of my present condition. Amen

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Isaiah 9-10; Mark 3:20-35
