A home is defined as a family living together in one building. A family consists of the father, mother, and children. I believe that each person has an effective role to play in the bringing forth of an extraordinary change in the result we've seen over the years about what a home as turned out to be. A place to find rest, love, and encouragement in the home, but how many people get it the whole package?
As written in one of Paul apostle's epistles, in the book of Ephesians 5:22-33. He said the head of the family is to be like Christ (as the standard). So as the head of the home, he must be responsible - a person who is able to respond to the needs of the home. He must Love not by samples from parents and friends, but as the Lord Himself who gave Himself for us(sacrifice) and takes it upon Himself to meet the need of His bride(the church).
He is caring for the church, washing her with water by the word of God so that she will be presentable to the Father. I believe that a man with a full understanding of the concept and roles of a husband as that of Christ Jesus is who the holy spirit has helped.
Another post involved in those verses is the place of the wife in a home. She must be submissive, not as a slave but as the help of the head and home generally. Though situations might not make it easy to agree with, but a wife must keep her strength under control. She has power but decides not to use it. A wife is a humble personality that must always flow with the head just like the church is to Christ.
Well, as a matter of fact, we talk a lot about the message of how to be a good spouse in a marriage and so many other deep things, but how is it that we do not remember that in a home there are children too. Not just the atmosphere of the romantic feelings, but also the building of the next generation as the couple's assignment. Let's talk about the children.
Ephesians 6:1-4 talks about the relationship of the children to their parents. Children are to obey and honor their parents in the Lord - who also knows and works in the Lord. Definitely this is the combination of a standard Christian Home( a godly parent and children).
Everyone in this kind of home is a believer, but even when children do what they are expected to do, parents end up not doing their part in the aspect of not provoking them to wrath(verse 4). Children might be wrong, but try to listen to their own perspectives. Don't always think you know them.
Parental backgrounds shouldn't be the controller of a Christ-based home. As Christian parents, it is now time to take part in the building of a great future of the world. The structuring of the future starts from the home.
Irrespective of how big the world is, the family is the cell(basic, structural, and functional unit) of it. If children from homes can't get it right, another generation is at stake. The bible says nurture and admonish them(verse 4), not abuse, and discourage them.
Some parents don't have the time for their kids. Your future is a stake! Find time to create and sustain it! Let them talk to you. Give them attention, advice, sight examples, and let them see God above all, not you as there source.
There are people who grew up as aggressive children, not because they can't be gentle but their upbringing is faulty and they are ready to pass it down to another generation. Correction isn't necessarily harsh but must achieve the reason why it is done - to correct. You can find other ways to punish them.
I know that not all parents are the same in what they do, but only a few do the listening, care, correction, and advice all at the same time. It is better to do these than you watch them go down to the pit and get burn! Children need parents than anyone in the world. Their impact is the foundation all other people or experiences will build on.
Even though your upbringing isn't good enough, you can make it wonderful for the next generation, and with God on our side, I'm sure of a world's transformation! As a parent, it isn't too late to start encouraging your children and as for the unmarried, train yourself by appreciating people around you and Loving them as much as you love yourself. With Faith in the Lord, the help of the Holy Spirit and the perfection of the greatest Father, Grace (which is the ability to do) will be released upon you in Jesus' Name. Amen!
SHALOM!!!
