BUILDING A CRISIS-FREE FAMILY PART1

I thank God for the great privilege He has given us to see the beginning of this fourth quarter of the year. There is no doubt that the Lord has been doing us well ever since the year began. It is my prayer that before the end of this quarter, the Lord shall do you good and a supernatural turnaround shall take place in your family in Jesus’ name!
  This WeekI shall be teaching on Building a crisis-free family and today, we shall be looking at the foundation of the family.
When we talk about building a crisis-free family, one may ask, “Is it possible to build a crisis-free family?” I can say categorically, it is very possible. Possessing a crisis-free family is a possibility, because with God all things are possible. And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible (Mark 10:27). All things become possible when you understand that all things are yours. All things are yours means that you are in charge of all things and can do what you like with them, a crisis-free Family inclusive.
The Word of God also says: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (Philippians 4:13). I want to assure you that you can build a crisis-free family, when you follow God’s principles of building.
Building means the process of erecting/constructing by putting materials together systematically, to form a complete and functional whole. It also means establishing and setting up something, according to specifications and prescribed requirements. Crisis-Free means the absence of danger or trouble which results in unpleasant circumstances and conflicts. This is indicative of unending bliss and peace. Family means a group of people who are closely related to one another, especially a father, mother, their children and sometimes close relatives. Marriage between a man and a woman however, forms the bedrock upon which a family is built, because all families stem out of marriages. It goes without saying therefore, that as goes a marriage, so goes the family. In other words, the marriage relationship is at the very centre of any family.
Understanding the Foundation of the Family:
God is the foundation of the family; He founded families And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him (Genesis 2: 18). He decides which family each person is born into. God has a heritage of peace for every family. He wants to give His people peace always and by all means. Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all (2 Thessalonians 3: 16).
Parties Involved in Building
In the building of any enterprise that will last and excel, every party involved must locate their individual roles. The parties involved in the building of a crisis-free family are namely:
God
Man
God’s Word says in Hebrews 3: 4: Every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. God has His part, which is always intact; man is the variable.
Material for Building:
Understanding
Understanding is the analysis of facts for onward action; it is the power of the mind by which man attains truth or knowledge. No one can become outstanding without understanding. Understanding makes you grasp things, and whatever you grasp becomes yours. This means that understanding gives you control of all things. Understanding or the lack of it influences your actions.
God’s Concept of Marriage:
a. It Is Good, Not Evil (Genesis 1: 31; 2: 18).
b. It Is For Better Living (Deuteronomy 32: 30; Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12).
c. It Is Designed For Fruitfulness (Genesis 1: 28; 5: 1-4).
d. The Law Of Departure; this comprises of:
Leaving
Cleaving

Becoming one (Genesis 2: 24; Matthew 19: 5; Mark 10: 7,8).
e. Covenant Obligations Of The Husband (Ephesians 5:23,25-29).
f. Covenant Obligations Of The Wife (Ephesians 5:22-24).
g. Mutual Obligations:
Romance (Proverbs 5:15-20; 1 Corinthians 7:3-5).
Child training (Deuteronomy 6:6,7; Proverbs 22:6).
It imparts real life and not just mere existence (Psalm 119:144; Proverbs 16:22).
It keeps and preserves the family from crisis (Proverbs 2:11).
It releases God’s favour and goodness upon you and your family (Proverbs 13:15; 19:8).
It breeds excellence (Proverbs 17:27).
In building a crisis-free family life, you need Jesus Christ, the Builder of all things. If you want to be born again, please say this prayer of faith:
“Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You today as a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose on the third day. Forgive me of my sins. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for saving me. Now I know I am born again!”
Congratulations! You are now born again! All-round rest and peace are guaranteed you, in Jesus’ Name.
