THE BELIEVERS BIBLE STUDYSTEWARDS OF THE MYSTERIES OF GOD#15 THE GODLY HOMEBY PAUL B THOMAS

Topic: The Godly homeScripture Reading: Joshua 24;15Purpose: The quality of life begins in the home, the home is where we receive affirmation, of our identity and family. The home is where we learn to live as a family and thus be able to live with others outside it in the wider world. Our actions, ways of communications, respect or lack of it in the home, reveals the way we will communicate and respect others in the community and bigger world. The home therefore is the pace where we must get it right in order to be a bigger success in the world at large.

1.Who lays the foundations of the happy home?And the lord planted a garden eastward in eden; and there he put the man who he formed (Gen 2;8).2.In making a Godly and Happy home what is needed?And the Lord god said it is not good that man should be alone, I will make him an help meet. (v18).3.What is the purpose and blessing of a happy and Godly home?And God said to them be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth (Genesis 1;28).4. God in the home brings order and happiness to allHappy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. They wife shale as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house, they chidden shall be like olive plants round about the table (Psalm 128,2,3).5.A Godly home has appreciated children.Her children arise up, and call her blessed (Proverbs 31;28).6. Your household shall leave a legacy and a heritage.Children are a heritage of the Lord (Psalm 127;3).7.A Godly home raises wise children.Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right (Ephesians 6;1).8.A Godly home provides godly instruction.Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it (Prov 22;6).And thou shalt teach them diligently unto they children, and shall talk to them when thou fittest in thine house, and when thou wallets by the way, and when thou lest down, and when thou rises up. (Deut 6;7).9.God has a purpose for the children.And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make theorise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3;15).10. Every home should have a family altarAnd there he built an altar unto the Lord and called upon the name of the LORD (Gen 12;8).These papers are written By Paul B Thomas for the propagation of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, the understanding of the apostles doctrine and the revelation of Jesus Christ.NOTES: The family that loves the Lord is a happy family. It has structure and order. and because it has structure and order it finds peace and security. The family that has a family prayer time has intimacy and love a boding takes place and togetherness is real and never superficial. Children grow up with a Christ like trust, confidence in themselves their faith and their Lord. A Godly family true raises positive kids, kids who will walk in wisdom and carry forth the purposes of God to their generation.It must be strongly noted that it is never the governments job or duty to raise up children rather it is the parents duty to instruct their children. No one knows the children better than the parents and its the parents who are required by the Lord to teach them the ways of the lord. hence they will take on the success that alone God them later in their life. There is no place that prepares them for failure or success greater than the home. The home is where they learn their values approval, confidence and place in life and family. there is no place more important that the family home.Questions to Consider: 1.What is God’s structure for the family? 2.What is gods purpose for the family. 3.What is the value fo having religion in the home? 4.What does scriptures say about husbands and wives connecting and relating (Ephesians 5;22-33; 1 Peter 3;1-7).For further Study:  Literature: Visit brother Paul on amazon for pentecostal/ apostolic ebooks9 Reasons why you should be baptised in Jesus Name by Paul B Thomas available on amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paul-Thomas/e/B005SRDAESProduced by Paul B Thomaswww.paulbthomas.wales© paulbthomas 2021 and The Believers Bi
