In order to realize God’s will for your family you need to give the word of God first place in your family and walk in love ,by allowing your love for God to overflow to everyonePlease read : Deuteronomy 6:4-7 ; Matthew 7:24- 27;Luke 10 : 27 ; Psalm 150 ;1 Thessalonians 5 :12
Dear Friend,
Did you know that you can tear down your family or build it up for victory through what you say and do? Jesus made it plain, in His concluding remarks to the Sermon on the Mount when He emphasized that anyone who “hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” Vice versa. In other words when we do not obey what the word of God instructs us to do in the affairs of our lives , we place our families in a defenseless position against any challenges that may occur. It is obvious that challenges may come but a family or individual who functions based on the word of God , is guaranteed victory in any circumstances that may come up against them.
It is not enough to give yourself to the word and not be influenced by it. When you catch the spirit of the word through daily search, it drives you to pursue love, because God is love. The Holy spirit will drive you base d on the intensity of your desire to be come a doer of the word. It is unrealistic to love and praise God and be mean to family members. The same driving fore that enable s us to love God is the same that we need to be loving towards our family. There is enough power in the revelation you receive from the word to drive you to love God with all your heart and strength .In John 15 : 12 Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us. God is interested in how we treat people and nothing is going to work for us spiritually ,if we violate the command to love. The best place to practice walking in love is at home. If we can walk in love at home, then we can do it anywhere. It’s the place where we are most likely to be unkind and irritable, because we get close enough to others for them to rub us the wrong way. It is very important to place a demand on ourselves to be kind and patient with everyone .Apologize and make the necessary adjustments immediately you treat someone in an unloving way. One way to do this is to make a quality decision to always live according to the description of love given in I Corinthians 13..Love is patient and kind .It is not rude and self seeking. Love believes the best in every one.
Since we have no choice but to love our neighbor or the undeserving family member ,the onus falls on us to develop an interest in knowing more about them in order that we may be able to serve them at the point of their need or appreciate them appropriately. Once we have taken a good look, we will come to the point where we always want to esteem them in several of the following ways. Showering them with gifts; Speaking words of affirmation and not beating them down; Always planning to spend quality time with them ;Showing affection through hugs and appropriate gestures; Performing specific acts of service that say, ‘I care ‘.
A family member or neighbor that is genuinely appreciated or praised is more likely to be happier and apt to support and protect the interest of family with the highest enthusiasm. This is an excellent atmosphere for everyone to flourish and prosper in every arena of life. And that is God’s perfect will!
