My Month Of Building My Home (Part 2)

MY MONTH OF BUILDING MY HOME (PART 2)

Continued from Part 1

It is with great delight and joy I welcome you to this great month. Our month of building our home. The issue of the home is very critical and delights me greatly what about you? We all have a home, the only difference is in functionality or dysfunctionality. But we all are products of one home or the other. As they say; the way the family goes the society follows suit. In other words, the society is a reflection of our homes. It's like saying show me your home and I will show you who you are or who you will become both on individual and corporate levels. How is your family going? I have come to encourage and pray for your home, marriage and family, this month it shall be well with you. The God who saw the misery of being alone and loneliness of Adam and gave him a helpmeet for him will again look at the totality of your home this month and whatever is needed to make things better for you will be supplied appropriately and promptly. As lovely as the home and relationships can be, it is sometimes not the best, it is full of challenges, intrigues, betrayals, lack of trust from one person to the other, husband to wife and vice versa, children to parents and vice versa, in-laws to couples, nuclear or extended family but guess what, God is always ahead of you to help you out if you will cooperate with Him. This month I see God rebuilding your home if you will let him, for the scripture says" If God doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks" Psalm 127 :1a (MSG).

On May 29, 2019 a new administration led by Muhammed Buhari as President was sworn in for Nigeria. Happy new administration to Nigerians. Let me remind you Nigeria is our home. My simple advice, let us build Nigeria of our dream. Let us stop spreading evil report, let us stop imagining fear, particularly as Christians let us use our faith to build our nation on prayer, hard work and integrity. Our God is greater than any Fulanization or Islamization planned by the devil or his cohorts. The walls of Jericho will always fall by our simple, shouting Hallelujah, singing and praying. This Next Level shall bring an end to insecurity, corruption and lack. I see Jesuslization of Nigeria. Dry bones will rise again. I see a better and prosperous New Nigeria. The Nigeria of our dream. What do you see?

What is a Home and why is a home very important?

You must have heard the expression "there's no place like home." "Home is where the heart is." "Home, sweet home" Jacob after being away for over two decades in a foreign land, with wife and children, blurted out to Laban his uncle "when will I provide for my house?" He was apparently home sick. Have you heard the whole world is now a village? The airlines are the beneficiaries, in this age of heavy and diverse immigration, people fly thousands of miles to find a place they can call home. These expressions and actions indicate that home is somewhere that is both desirable and that exists in the mind's eye as much as in a particular physical location. Across cultures and over the centuries people of varied means have made homes for themselves and for those they care about. Humans have clearly evolved to be home builders, homemakers, and home-nesters. Home has always been a gathering place, shelter, and sanctuary, providing escape from the busyness and intrusiveness of the world. It is not the buildings or houses that are homes but the people that live there.

The family is the single most important influence in a child's life. From their first moments, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. Every parent knows that it's sometimes difficult to do this important work without help, support, and additional resources.

The purpose of a family is to give you a safe and supportive base from which to explore the world. This applies both to the family your parents make for you, and the one you eventually make for yourself and (if applicable) your children. Values learning has been a traditional function of the family. Families introduce their children to their spiritual views. They teach their children right from wrong and encourage them to follow the laws of the land unless disobeying the law will benefit society. God himself gave that as a command to Moses: "O Israel, listen: Jehovah is our God, Jehovah alone. 5 You must love him with all your heart, soul, and might. 6 And you must think constantly about these commandments I am giving you today. 7 You must teach them to your children and talk about them when you are at home or out for a walk; at bedtime and the first thing in the morning. 8 Tie them on your finger, wear them on your forehead, 9 and write them on the doorposts of your house!" Deut 6:4-8 TLB
