Topic: Keys to a Happy Home! (4)
Dear Reader,
It’s been a wonderful time in God’s
presence all through this month. I have
shared with you in my previous teachings
that the secret to a happy home is to fear
God, and ways through which you can be
happy in your home through hospitality.
This week, I want to share with you what I
titled, Spices for Happy Home. God
intended every home to be a happy place.
When it is not so, it is evident that
something vital is missing.
God’s Word says: …Every house is built by
some man; but he that built all things is
God (Hebrews 3:4). Just as in the
natural, you cannot own a house by
merely wishing it; you cannot have a
peaceful and exciting home without
playing your part.
What, then, are the spices for a happy
home? They are, but are not limited to:
Joy & Excitement:
These two are the spices of life, not just
the home only. Sadly, they are the major
things lacking in most homes today.
Some couples even find it difficult to
smile at one another. But, God’s Word
says: Rejoice, and again I say rejoice
(Philippians 4:4).
The home is not meant to be masked in a
silent and dull atmosphere, resulting from
cold wars between husband and wife or
lack of love between family members.
Rather, it is meant to be a place of
excitement.
God created the family in such a way that
the joy or pain of each member affects
the others (2 Corinthians 2:2). Therefore,
you have the responsibility to create joy
and excitement in your home, so that God
can reside there.
Praise:
I remember the story of a woman for
whom a counsellor drew a circle and
said, “Put a dot in the circle for every
fault your spouse has committed.” The
woman started putting dots in the circle
for as many offences as she could
remember. “He insulted me, he didn’t
give me money, etc.”
At the end, the counsellor discovered that
there was much undotted space left. He
then said, “Madam, the undotted space in
the circle is still larger than the dotted
part. That means that the man is not as
bad as you want me to believe.”
So, no matter what might have happened
in the past, there must still be some good
qualities in your spouse. Focus on those
positive points, and the bad ones will
soon fade away. Cast away bitterness
from your home and let every unpleasant
situation in the past be forgiven and
forgotten for good. I see that grace
released to you now in Jesus’ name.
To be happy in your home, you need to
give your life to Christ. If you are ready to
give your life to Christ, please say this
prayer in faith: “Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I
come to You today. I am a sinner.
Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve God. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour,make. Me a child of God today. Thank you for accepting me into Your Kingdom.
Congratulations You are now born again! All round rest and peace are guaranteed you in Jesus Name. Call or Write, and
Share your testimony with me
