FAMILY CIRCLE - II KINGS 4:8-10; VS 26 One Of The Finest Families In The Bible: They Said, Let’s Make A Prophets Chamber In Our Home (Taking Care Of The Man Of God) Let’s Honor The Holy Man Of God! The Woman In The Text Requested That God Give Her A Baby. God Gave Her A Baby…And Then Long About His Teenage Years, He Was Working In The Field And He Grabbed His Head And Cried Aloud…The Boy Fell Over…They Picked Him Up And Said, Take Him To His Mother.The Boy Died…And Elisha Came By And Raised Him From The Dead..And The Family Circle Was Back Together Again. TOWARD THE END OF THE CHAPTER.
The Servant Came To The Woman In Verse 26, We See One Of The Greatest Questions You Could Ever Ask A Family. Is It Well With Thee? Is It Well With Thy Husband? Is It Well With The Child? She Answered, It Is Well.
Nothing Any More Beautiful Than A Christian Home Nothing More Beautiful Than A Praying Mother Nothing More Beautiful Than A Godly Dad Nothing More Beautiful Than Children That Fear The Lord
Psalms 127:1 Except The Lord Build The House, They Labor In Vain That Do Build It.
Is It Well With The Mother? A Godly Mother Is An Honor Is It Well With The Daddy? A Praying Daddy Is A Wonderful Thing. Is It Well With The Children? Children that Fear the Lord will be blessed.
I. THE FOUNDATION OF THE HOMEA-RIGHTEOUSNESS---My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less Than Jesus Blood And Righteousness. The Wise Man Build His House Upon The Rock, The Foolish Man Builds Upon The Sand. Is The Foundation Built So It Can Stand The Storms Of Life? B-FAITHC-THE THINGS OF THE LORD-It’ll Be A Happy HomeD-LOT PITCHED HIS TENT TOWARD SODOM…HIS HOUSE WENT DOWN—Genesis 13:12 1-Lost His Finances 2-Lost His Family 3-Lost His Fellowship With God II. THE FAITH OF THE HOME—Romans 10: 17 Faith Cometh By Hearing, Hearing By The Word Of God. What Is A Home With No Faith?A-A HOME THAT HAS FAITH IN IT, WILL STAND1-PUT YOUR FAITH IN GOD 2-PUT YOUR FAITH IN THE KJV BIBLE 3-FAITH IN LOCAL MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH B-RAHAB—Joshua 2:1-24 Hid The Spies From The Jerichoites, When They Passed Thru And Couldn’t Find The Men, She Told Them…You Can Leave, But I Know You Will Be Back….They Said To Her, We Are Coming Back In The Name Of The Lord….Rahab Asked Them…Tell Me About Your Lord….The Spies Told Her About God….She Said, “What Can I Do When You Destroy Jericho? They Said, Take The Crimson Chord And It’ll Be A Symbol Of Your Faith… Hang It In The Window….And We Will Know Of Your Faith….And When We See The Chord We Will Pass Over You…Everyone Behind The Chord Was Saved….Have Faith And Believe…Get Your Family Behind The Blood.
III. THERE ARE FOES THAT WOULD DESTROY YOUR HOME-Psalms 11:3 “If The Foundations Be Destroyed, What Can The Righteous Do?” ENEMIES OF THE HOME THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR CHILDREN ORPHANS. A-UNEQUALED YOKE---Husband Not Saved, Wife Is…”How Can Two Walk Together Except They Be Agreed?” “How Can Darkness And Light Have Fellowship One With Another” If You Know Your Husband Is Saved, And Your Children Are Saved…You Should Thank God! B-UNHAPPY HOME—“Happy Is The People Whose God Is The Lord” If There Is Not Happiness, You Would Hate To Come To The House Where You Live. C-UNATTENDED HOME—The Family That Doesn’t Attend Church. A Home That Doesn’t Attend Church Cannot Be Happy Because Happiness Is Fellowshipping With The Lord And With One Another. It Is Blessed To See Dad Bring His Family To Church. IV. THE FAMILY TREASURES—Some Are Kept In A Book, Some In A Hope Chest. Hezekiah said in II Kings 20:15 “I Have Showed Them The Treasures Of My House” A-Saviour Is The Greatest You Can Have In Your Home. B-Spiritual Love Is A Great Treasure That You Can Have In Your Home. V. THE FUTURE OF THE HOME--WHY SHOULD WE HAVE A CHRISTIAN HOME? True Joy Exists In The Christian Home A-Pays To Serve God Now In Your Life B-Pays To Serve God Now In Your Death C-Pays To Serve God Now In Your Future Life |
