A christian home! One burning desire in the heart of every man and woman today is 'Lord I want to build a home' everyone desires a good wife , husband and obedient children, the embodiment of an ideal home but we do not sit to consider the qualities of the ideal home.

A christian home is the ideal home that longs after the will of the father , a home set apart in righteousness and in all meekness. A home built after the model of Christ (1Tim 4:12)
No couple ever desires wayward children and broken homes , we all want the ideal home where God dwells .
One question is 'why is our dream not always realised , homes are breaking up per second , children and youth becoming wayward and we begin to wonder what really happened and where did we get it wrong? I've discovered one thing to be true in all cases ' a man who fails to plan has failed even before start ' most of us only dream of the perfect t home, we share the dream with our family but how many of us work it out?

You can't build the ideal home by mere speculation , wishes or dreams , it requires careful and dedicated preparation and action. One of my favorite family hymns has this wonderful lyrics ……….

God give us Christian homes
Homes where the Bible is loved and taught
Homes where the master's will is sought
Homes crowned with beauty thy love has wrought
God give us Christian homes .


God give us Christian homes
Homes where the mother in queenly quest
Strives to show others thy way is best
Homes where the Lord is an honoured guest
God give us Christian homes …

Oh! What a great home! The Christian Home.
Highlighted below are few of the steps to take if you desire that Home.

1. Get Close to God while you're single .
Most singles today are too busy with the cares of the world and hardly develop their time tables to include God or the things of God.
How effectively you serve God while you're single determines how much of His presence you carry with you as yours years roll by, Remember you can't build a solid house on a weak foundation but there's room for repair, Oh ! You are now married , you've been married for several years , no matter his faulty you are, He can repair and FIX you.

2. Welcome Christ to your home.
Any Home where Christ is welcome is secure from perversion and the wiles of the devil .
Every home, life , business needs Him, until you welcome Him as an Honorable guest, That Home can't enjoy His direction.

3. Be committed to the things of God .
Be committed to the things of God, do the service actively and diligently, you can't claim to be godly and you handle the things of God with levity. When you get committed everyone around you and in your home replicates the same virtue.

4. Teach your home to love God.
If you teach your spouse and children the fear and love for God , there will be peace , joy and happiness in your home. A heart where God indwells will always seek to walk worthy of the name of Christ . there is nothing greater than building. Home after the heart of Christ . Remember your home is the GREATEST small nation that exists and influences the entire world, if every family member lives right , our community will be rightly judged and governed and our society will be built and remodelled to fit the Christ plan.

God Give us christian Homes.

Let us Pray!
Our Dear sovereign and eternal father, we've read in your word that nothing delights you than a home after your heart, a place where you inhabit and direct, Lord we need you to rebuild the foundation of our homes , lives , marriages so our lives can be remodelled to fit your purpose and plan for us and help us to stay continually on your track, these and more we ask of thee in the name of your precious son Jesus.
Amen!

In His Service
