Being In Control Of Your Home

It is with great joy that I welcome you to this life-transforming and inspiring teaching via the Word of God. It is my prayer that at the end of this teaching, your life and family shall be transformed to show the glory of God in Jesus' name! I will be sharing with you on being in control of Your Home.
God made the human family an unbeatable team and established them as gods on the earth, but because Adam failed in exercising the important control over his family, he was sent out of the Garden of Eden. God's Word says: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden... (Genesis 3:23). May you not be sent out of your place of destiny in Jesus' name. This was exactly what happened in the case of Adam. This is why I will like to show you the relationship between your being in control of your family and your Placement in the House and family of God..
Your placement in the kingdom of God, as a man, is determined by how well you rule your home. If you cannot rule your house well, God will not allow you to rule His church, because He knows that you will not succeed at it. See what the Bible says about those to take up responsibilities in the Church. One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? (I Timothy 3:4-5). Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well (I Timothy 3:12).
If you can't rule your house well, there is a limit to how far you can go in the things of God. This same truth is repeated twice in the same chapter, showing its importance. How well do you rule your home?
To rule the home well, the man must be a loving leader, not a taskmaster. Love is a necessary ingredient that a man must possess for effective leadership. Christ rules the Church with the rod of love. For the man to succeed, he must rule his home with the same rod. In fact, it is a scriptural commandment for the man to love his wife, as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
Remember, Christ loves the Church and gave Himself for us, even while we were yet sinners. Husbands should also love their wives sacrificially, unconditionally and limitlessly. Don't forget, love is not love until it is expressed. Express your love to your wife, in words and in deed. Let me tell you one secret; no woman hates to be loved. When you demonstrate your love to your wife, you will be able to govern your home with ease.
Man, if you must not suffer the kind of dethronement Adam suffered, you must have your home directly under your control. If your family fails, it is your fault and you will be held responsible by God. After Adam and Eve ate the fruit in the garden, it was Adam that God called upon; not Eve, not the devil, but Adam (Genesis 3:9). Even though God knew that it was the devil that deceived them and gave them the fruit, which Eve ate before Adam, yet it was Adam that God called upon. Why? Because God had already committed the management of the home into his hand. Man, know that if your family fails, you are the one that God will call upon!
Don't make the kind of mistake that Adam made, so that you do not suffer what he suffered. God's Word says: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning... (Romans 15:4). Both the man and the woman in the home must make sure that there is no communication breakdown between them.
Some men are fond of rejoicing at the fact that they are the head of the home, forgetting the responsibilities attached to that office. It is not enough to rejoice at the great authority that God has vested in the man, but to live up to the responsibilities attached to it. Anything happening to the body is felt most by the head.
Have you ever thought about that? The man occupies such a strategic position that can influence and determine what the lives of other family members will be like. As the head of the home, live up to expectation, so that Christ can be magnified, not only in your life, but in your home as well. Don't let God regret making you the head of the home!
You need God's grace to manage your home. This grace is only available to you when you surrender your life to Christ. This is done by confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour. If you are ready for this new birth experience, please say this prayer:

Dear Lord, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I accept You as my Lord and Savious. Now I know I am born again!

Congratulations! You have just made the right choice.

Let me say this, from now on, on any issue, invite the Lord Jesus Christ to lead you and help you and by His Holy Spirit He will give you effective solution and direction that will put you over successfully.
God bless You.
