Family is a ministry that God called us to in life’s endeavours. When we fail in marriage, we shall give an account of what we have been doing. That is why this post is good for bible researchers, readers, and all people who want to know more about family. Take advantage of the bible verses below and learn more.
1. Honour in the family
God commanded us to honour our Father and our Mother. There is no law of family relationships more than this. If we do this, we shall live long and our days here will be glorious. Read Exodus 20:1, Mathew 15:4, Ephesians 6 1-2, and Deuteronomy 5:16.
2. Heritage of the family
Children are the heritage of God. They are like arrows in the hands of a ready warrior. Even the Bible made us understand that blessed is the man and woman who has them. Let us take our children as the heritage of God. Most parents abuse their children in different ways. They need parental love for them to be adequate, comfortable, and confident. Read Psalm 127:3-5.
3. Love in the family
Love is the principal thing that can sustain the family. Love covers everything and makes people overlook weaknesses. It is also confirmed that out of hope, faith, and love, love is what is best. Love your children; love your father and mother and your brothers and sisters. Love everyone in your family. Read 1 Corinthians 13 4 7; 1 Peter 4 8 11; 1 John 4;19 Ephesians 5:33.
4. Head of the family
In the family, we must understand that Jesus Christ is the head of man. Also, the Father is the head of the woman, while the head of Christ is God. This protocol will help us to surrender ourselves to one another in the family. Read 1 Corinthians 11:3.
5. Obedience in the family
Obedience in the family goes a long way. Children should obey the commands of their parents; the wife should obey the commands of her husband, and vice versa, and all members should obey the commands of God. Read Colossians 3:20; Ephesians 6 1-2.
6. Management in the family
The husband should carefully take the sensitive responsibility of a father in the family. He must know how to manage his family, such as his children, wife, and other home properties. Make your wife and children obey God. Let your home be a home worthy of respect. Read 1 Timothy 3 4- 5.
7. Provisions in the family
The Bible advised the man to provide for his family in his capacity. If a man fails to do this, he has denied his faith. Both men and women should provide for their children. They should take care of their children adequately. Read 1 Timothy 5 8.
8. Giving in the family
Your family must be a family that is God-fearing and devout. Parents should teach their children the fear of God and love. Teach them to be generous and prayerful also. Read Acts 10:2.
9. Forgiveness in family
What can make the family glorious and keep going smoothly is to bear with one another. Whether we like it or we do not like it, there will be times of misunderstanding and home conflicts, but the way we handle them is different. During this time, forgive, forget, and release. Read Colossians 3:13.
10. Character in family
A noble character is the glory of a wife. A good wife must thirst for it always because she is the crown of her husband, but the disgraceful one seems like decay in the bones. Proverbs 12 4.
11. Children in the family
The children need training in the way of the Lord. The reason is that when he/she grows up, he/she will not depart from it. Teach them love, prayers, memory verses, Christian songs, Bible poems, patience, endurance, hard work, diligence, respect, etc. Read Proverbs 22:6.
12. Friendship in the family
Let us know that the only friend that cannot forsake us is the Lord. He cares for us no matter the case. Your mother, your father, and even other family members may say no. But God will be for you forever. Let us emulate God and not break up friendships. Read Psalm 7:10.
13. Choice of family
The husband is saddled with the responsibility to lead the family right. He should preach salvation often and often to his family members. Fathers should always set examples in terms of fear of God, love, honesty, good character, use of language, etc. Read Joshua 2:15.
14. Commandments in the family
God gave each of the members of the family the commandments. Give them to the people of Israel, and we are the people of Israel now. The parents at home should talk to their children about the suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. Teach your children about the present commandments of God in the Bible. Read Deuteronomy 6 6-7.
15. Name in the heavenly family
It shows that there is a family in heaven and on earth. In heaven, Jesus is begging on behalf of us so that we can inherit the kingdom of God. From the father – God, every name derives. Read Ephesians 3:14-15.
16. Instruction in the family
All children should take their parents’ instructions very seriously and listen to them. Children are expected to bring joy to their parents always. Be a wise child today, not a foolish one. Do not forsake your parents; read Proverbs 15:20 and Proverbs 1 8.
17. Priority in family
There are things which Bibthe le highlights in the Bible that need attention in the family that will continue to grow in the Lord. They are a priority for Christian families. Study each of them one after the other. Read John 15:12-17.
18. Righteousness in fathe mily
The love of the Lord is everlasting to everlasting to those who love Him. As a family, righteousness is sure because we are his children. He loves us and our family. Praise Him for his care over our family. Read Psalm 103:17.
19. Harshness in fthe amily
God commanded husbands to love their wives. The husbands should not be harsh with their wives; instead, they should tender their words and actions in tenderness. Read Colossians 3:19.
20. Training in the family
Child training is important for all fathers and even all mothers. God commanded fathers to train their children. They need training and instruction on how to live a good life, how to have acceptable behaviours, and how to sustain their salvation. Read Ephesians 6 4.
21. Fruitfulness in the family
The goal of the family is to be fruitful spiritually and physically. God also said in the Bible that we should be fruitful and expand on earth. If fruitfulness does not occur in your family, always pray for it. Read Genesis 1:28.
22. Unity in the family
We can sense how unity in marriage and family should be. For what makes a husband leave his father and mother, and then unite with his wife? Then they become one flesh. The unity must not break because it is an ordained and heavenly unity. Read Genesis 2:24; Psalm 133:1.
23. Household of a family
The household is a member living under a roof. If a father is the head, he should direct the members in the way of the Lord. If a mother is the head, she should direct the members in the way of the Lord. Read Genesis 1:19.
24. Ruin in the family
We should be careful about our family because family matters to God more than anything. God said it precisely that anyone who ruins or collapses the family will inherit the wind. D does not do what can bring destruction to your family, such as unresolved conflicts, sex, foul language, jealousy, envy, etc. Read Proverbs 111:29, Proverbs 15:277.
25. Responsibility in the family
God gave higher responsibility to women when talking about putting a home together in the family. Whether the house will stand or not, women have many things to do. The wise woman builds her house, and the fool breaks it. Read Proverbs 31 15- 17.
26. Relationship in the family
Relationship in the family goes a long way in the sustenance of the family. Every Christian family is expected to sustain unity because there is no claim when we say we love God, but we do not love our husband, wife, children, and family members. Read 1 John 20; Ephesians 4 2-3.
