A good home!

A good home!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Proverbs 24:3‭-‬4
A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through understanding. Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.

What would be a good home in your opinion? Well furnished house? Big house? Having the best electrical appliances? Having many rooms? All these things are good but it's not enough to give you a good home.

A good home is where Jesus is in the centre of the family, where His word is given first place and where there is peace, love and respect between the family members. Proverbs 17.1 says, ‘It is better to have nothing but a dry piece of bread to eat in peace than a whole house full of food with everyone arguing.’ You can have a good home. No matter how big or small your house is, you can have a good home. Every person on this planet desires to have a good home, where they can live in peace and joy. Oh! Everyone wants it! But not everyone knows how to get a good home. The world has no answers. Only God has the answer because a home was His idea and His invention. The word of God is what makes your home a good home. The value you give to God's word will determine the quality of your home. According to this verse:  Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge are the key ingredients to a good home. Wisdom builds your house. Understanding makes it strong. Knowledge fills it with all sorts of precious riches and valuables. Knowledge is the knowledge of God's word. Understanding is to understand how the word applies to you and to everything you do. Wisdom is the application of God's word, which simply means that you do whatever the word says. A good home doesn't just happen. It takes work to make your home a good home.

Beloved, you can have a good home. You can have days of heaven on earth in your home. Spend time with the Lord everyday in personal fellowship. Spend time in His word daily. Personal fellowship with Jesus and mediation on the word will turn any home around. Know that Jesus is the one who makes your home good. No amount of money, no amount of popularity, no amount of valuable things can make your home good. Only Jesus! Declare the word over your home - your family. As you dwell in the presence of Jesus and His word, the Holy Spirit will give you tremendous insight, understanding and wisdom, which will transform your house into a glorious home full of love, joy and peace. Hallelujah!

"My home is a house of God's glory. Wisdom builds my house. Understanding establishes it. Knowledge fills my rooms with precious riches and valuables. Jesus is in the center of our home and His word is first place in our lives. God's Love governs our home. God's peace rules it. God's joy fills it. Our home is a blessed home. Hallelujah.”
