What is Eating the Family Unit?
It is not possible to run the family God’s way if a person does not know the principles that have been set and put in place by God for successful marriages and families.
It is therefore incumbent on you to invest your time, energy and resources to know and apply these
principles in your family in order to reap the benefits that God has hidden within these principles.
1. Ignorance and Disregard of God’s Principles for the Family
Matthew 7:17 – 20
The fruit is determined by the state and quality of the tree. If the tree is bad, the fruit will be bad, if the tree is good, the fruit will equally be good.
Head-ship of the family
Ephesians 5:23 Mark 10:44
If anything goes wrong in the family God goes to the leader. It was Eve who was deceived but God
did not come to confront her, He confronted Adam. Why? The instructions and blueprint for life were given to Adam. Genesis 3:8 - 13 1 Samuel 3:13
The Position of the Wife
Submission
Ephesians 5:22 – 24, Colossians 3:18 - 20
A wife is at her most powerful when she submits to her husband. Look at the verses below.
1 Peter 3:1 – 7
2. Hardness of our Hearts Matthew 19:2 – 11
3. Presents over Presence (Absentee Parents) Proverbs 22:6 Deuteronomy 11:18 – 21
The parents should be present in the lives of their children in order to teach them the ways of God.
When the family altar is neglected, the enemy finds a way in!
When the family altar is forsaken, biblical family values are eroded by the culture of the world.
