1. Relationships
Everything about our MARRIAGES is on relationship.
In many homes, couples are not on speaking terms and children with parents and vice versa.
When the Bible’s says Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than a brother, that’s relationship.
When you have the grace for relationship, even the devil will be at peace with you!
The grace for relationship is that you can cope with anyone and anywhere.
John 1:14 MSG The Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighborhood.
We saw the glory with our own eyes,
the one-of-a-kind glory,
like Father, like Son,
Generous inside and out,
true from start to finish.
The word here is Jesus. The mystery of God is when Jesus came and live on earth with the flesh of man. Until He came, people had several ideas and notions about the person of God.
Jesus lived with is and learnt the trade of carpentry. He asked questions and was interested with everything.
He came to show us the Father. He made reference to God as our Father! He didn’t make Himself different from man and when. He was going to be betrayed, the people needed someone to identify the Master!
If you want to succeed in anything, you must come.down from.the mountain and relate with people, otherwise that person will not go very far.
We need others. That maid is important and your life depends on him. All the people you think are nobody are important. Treat them well so that you cal live long.
We should learn from our Lord Jesus.
How did he relate with his disciples and their relatives?
Jesus had to follow Peter to heal his sick mother in law. Relationships have credit and debit. You build on the Creditand withdraw from Debit. You build on the credit and withdraw from the debiy
The basis for relationship is communication and compliments. It. Is complementing one another. When God gave man a wife, He gave a help meet and not a help mate
Relationship must be unconditional. You cannot build a future without being consistent.
2 Wisdom for the Use of the Tongue
Most crisis at home is because of wrong use of the tongue.
James 3: 2-6 NKJV or we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. .
Proverbs 21:24 NKJV A proud and haughty man—“Scoffer” is his name;
He acts with arrogant pride.
Mind what you say to your children. If your want to build a good home, check your tongue.
Proverbs 10:19-21 NKJV In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
The heart of the wicked is worth little.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
But fools die for lack of wisdom.
Mind what you say say and don’t spend your time gossiping.
Receive grace to speak with wisdom abuse people that God send your way. Don’t do to the other kids what you will not want others to do to yours.
Don’t take advantage of the vulnerable. God is watching from heaven!
Don’t sleep with your own daughter because you are bringing a curse upon yourself and family.
When a child is raped, a destiny is affected! It is an abomination before God.
Even if it’s a curse or manipulations from the pit of hell, seek godly help.
The goodnews is that God has not given up on anyone.
