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 his or her 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 to build your house. For it is only then will your efforts bear fruits. 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 impact divine wisdom to us. It is through this Divine wisdom and understanding 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 advices:
  • Pray and seek help from God. Read Bible and meditate over the promises of God.
  • Calm down before God and let go all your bad mood. (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 a your life partner?
 May God strengthen your hand to build strong and God fearing family. May the piece of God fill your house! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Worship the Lord

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    God wants us to talk to Him the way we talk to our father. Jesus said in His prayer: “… blessed be Thy Name!” The word “bless” means He worshipped the God Father in reverence to Him. Worship prepares our soul to meet the God. It also involves our spirit. Just like in order to listen to a broadcast on the radio you need to tune it up first, worship helps us to turn our spirit on and tune it up on the God´s wave. Jesus taught:«You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve»

  • The sample of effective prayer

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    In order to pray effectively one needs a sample. Christian life is a spiritual life, therefore, connection with Heaven is vitally important. Our God is a spirit, but we all live on Earth, so we need to stay connected with God. There are only two ways of having fellowship with God – The word of God and a prayer. The God speaks to us through His word. The word of God is His revelation about God himself. Neither you can create the character of God by yourself nor you can imagine what kind of person He is, because you can easily fail getting it right. The God tells us in His word about who He is, what He can do and how He acts.

  • How to enter your ministry?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    If a person doesn’t have any desire to serve, it is very difficult to motivate him. This desire has to be strong enough to move you to action; otherwise you won’t do anything. It is easy to teach and lead a person that has a desire and an interest in something. And it is very difficult to convince and motivate the one who is indifferent. Where does the desire to serve come from? This desire comes from the understanding of God’s will and the purpose of our salvation.

    Thinking about God and His Majesty, focusing our mind on Him should become something we are constantly worried about. That´s what Jesus taught His disciples. You have to look at God with the eyes of your heart before you open your mouth for prayer.Humble meditation of the God´s character He revealed to us is another way of how to worship Him. We receive His mercy when reading His Word, this, in turn, testifies about God´s character.

  • We must be grateful to God in all things!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When things go fine and when God answers our prayers, it is easy to thank God, – at those times we thank God and adore Him. But as soon as God decides to answer us in a way that does not fit our plans, we start thinking whether there is any sense in prayer. The Bible calls us to thank God in everything. The Bible calls us to praise God aloud so that other people would hear it. Be grateful to God, praise him, and sing to Him – aloud! Thanksgiving is the very model of prayer that Jesus gave to His disciples.
