Jesus is the head and the chief builder of the happy family

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Hello, dear brothers and sisters! My greatest desire and prayer for you is that the will of God might prevail in every area of your life, especially in your family life. Family life can become a hell on earth, but I know everybody wants their family to be a heaven on earth. However, this does not happen automatically. It will take special efforts and allowing Jesus to become the head and chief builder of your family. 
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. (Ps.127:1).
 
For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. (Hebrews 3:4)
 Jesus is the head and the chief builder of the happy family. Allow God to guide your family and build your house. For it is only then that your efforts will bear fruit. How does God build a house or guide us in our family life? He does that through His Word!
The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. (Psalm 19:8)
 God’s revelation strengthens our hearts and imparts divine wisdom to us. It is through this divine wisdom and understanding that our house can be built and established. 
 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; (Proverbs 24:3)
 This is why the Bible invites us to seek wisdom in God’s Word:
 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (Josua 1:8)
 In case your family is going through a tough time right now, try to apply the following godly advice:
  • Pray and seek help from God. Read the Bible and meditate on the promises of God.
  • Calm down before God and let go of all your bad moods. (Never make any serious decision under the influence of your bad mood.)
  • Do not try to speak when you are angry. Cool down. Remember, words can hurt people.
  • Do not resent yourself. Remember, Jesus loves you anyway.
  • Always be ready to forgive.
  • In case you have constant arguments with your spouse, ask yourself a question: Have I decided to love or not to love him/her?
  • Do you need to try and look with the eyes of Christ? What do you see?
  • Recall all the nice and sweet moments from the beginning of your relationship. Why did you choose him/her as your life partner?
 May God strengthen your hand to build a strong and God-fearing family. May the peace of God fill your house! Pastor Rufus Ajiboy

  • The importance of stopping all activities and being alone with God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    «From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.»Jesus came to Tyra and Sidon to find some solitude and rest from people because His last day was coming closer – the day of His death on the Golgotha. Possibly, Jesus wanted to be alone with His Father to discuss what was awaiting Him on the Golgotha. Thus, Jesus was showing us an example of stopping all activities and being alone with God. We also need – every once in a while – to leave all the clutter of this world and all its cares and to find time for being alone with the Father. God is calling you today to find right time and a right place to be alone with God even among all the cares and stresses of this world. By doing it you will be able to gain access to godly wisdom, receive peace from God and succeed in this life.

    Today I would like to talk to you about the preparation of the way of the Lord. The preparation of the way precedes the coming of the Lord. Our readiness to meet God determines the actual experience with God. If we are not ready, we will be left outside of what God is doing. But if we are adequately prepared, we will be qualified to experience the visitation of the Lord. Let’s look the Scripture.

    During the past few days we have been talking about the idea of a person being the main initiator of the miracles he needs in his life. In order for God to be able to do something supernatural in the individual’s life this individual must create the natural platform or foundation for this miracle. When you mix your distress with prayer, then the miracle will surely happen and you will have true and undisputable proof of God’s miracle and His supernatural intervention.

  • Not only prayer helps us enter God’s presence, it is a source for godly revelations III

    We have been talking about prayer as the source of revelation and guidance in our lives. Yesterday, we saw that through prayer and fellowship with God, Jesus knew what and how He must do or speak. Jesus said,“Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” (John 5:19)After Jesus had taught in the temple, He spent nights on the Mount of Olives. There is no doubt, that He met the Father there and they had fellowship, but the next morning He brought a fresh Word for the people who came thirsty to hear this Word.

    The measure of our understanding about importance of the lordship of Jesus Christ will determine the level of victory in our lives. No victory is possible without the lordship of Jesus Christ. The victory is where Jesus is. Only the person that allows Jesus Christ to be his or her Lord can truly walk in His victory.Today I would like to give you several illustrations of how, based on the understanding of the lordship of Jesus Christ, we gain protection from all the purposes of the devil. Let’s look into the Bible.
