Family

House of David
House of Israel
Church is Household of God

But today we will be looking at the most basic house that Gid has established
A person's house - Family.

House of Vamsi
House of Cecil

When we say House of Vamsi, everyone in that house comes as part of it.
The man himself, his wife, sons, daughters.

We see so many kinds of families.
A loving family.
A kind of family
A divided family
A fighting family
A strongly knitted family

We see a family and say Wow they are a loving family.

For man that is satisfying and looks good.

Church, But God is looking more than just a loving, strongly knitted, but He is looking at a Kingdom Family.
God is more interested in a Kingdom Family.

Everyone say Kingdom Family.

When you put the Word Kingdom it superseeds all these words like loving, strong knitted.

Gods priorities are different than mans priorities.

What is a Kingdom Family.

So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Acts 18:26 NKJV

The secret of being a Kingdom Family is in Knowing the Way of God more accurately.

Aquila and Priscilla knew yhe way of God more accurately.

Often we find one person in a family is strong and the other  is weak or Children or weak

But here both Aquila and Priscilla.
They were talking about accurate way of God.

Apollos knew God, but not very accurately.

A kingdom minded family seek to know the ways of God.

All the people of Israel knew God by His Works, miracles.
But Moses knew God by His Ways.

In your family, when you know the ways of God, your priorities changes.

I want to seek Gods ways you will set up apart time to seek His ways.
And your family will see it, your spouse will notice it, your children will notice it.

But if you are someone who are negligent about knowing the ways of God but rather give importance only to Netflix all the time, then your family will follow you.

So the first point is this

1) A kingdom family seeks the ways of God.

2) Build Each other.
Mercy

Too many times we are more judgemental when it comes to our closest ones.

We lack mercy and try to criticize others in the family.

With our Words and actions we pull down others.

Sometimes we dont say it, but we our actions we show our judgemental nature.

Why do i have to listen to you?
Is a common question.
I think this is correct,
Submission has become the hardest thing in this generation.

I think, i know are the common things kids say. Spouses says to each other.

I know always leads to rebellion.

But If you seek the ways of God, you will discover that in Submission there is blessing.

In Submisssion to the Father, Lord Jesus defeated the death.

A kingdom Family Builds each other.
In Submisssion to the Father, Lord Jesus built the disciples.
In Submisssion to the head of the house, you can build others in the family.

A Kingdom Family Builds one another.
Dont Tear down one another.

When Job was going throw toughest times a family man would ever go through, lost his wealth, lost family, lost his health and the Jobs wife said to him, curse God and die.

Do you interceed for the person in the family going through a challenge or do you pull down the other person with Words.

Mercy triumphs over judgement.

Build Each other.

As Joshua says.

As for me and my household we will serve the Lord.
