Title: Happy Family (Romans 16:3-4)
Contents Happy family (Romans 16:3-4)
Today is the couple's Sunday that our church has set and observed on the third Sunday in May every year.
First of all, I would like to bless your families and couples with abundant grace and blessings from the Lord.
In the New Testament era, the family of Aquila and Priscilla cannot be excluded from the story of a happy family with exemplary faith.
Aquila and Priscilla were expelled from Rome and lived in Corinth, where they met Paul and worked together, influenced by Paul's faith and lived as exemplary believers.
After hearing the word of God and receiving Christ as their Savior, they were transformed and became exemplary Christian couples who became co-workers in the gospel ministry with Paul, evangelizing diligently in Ephesus and Rome, and leading a religious life.
In the Bible, the names of two people are always written in pairs. It is not a common form of expression that all the names of a couple are recorded.
Aquila the husband and Priscilla the wife, both of them zealously did the Lord's work and set an example for many. that has come
You don't know how blessed it is to have your name written in the Bible where the word of God is written.
If our couple's religious life can be transmitted through the mouths and mouths of the members for a long time in the history of the church, what greater joy can there be?
I wish you this opportunity to convince yourself that we can do the same by examining some of the happy couple traits these two have developed today.
first. This family was united in faith.
Here are ten wisdoms for a happy marriage.
1) Please. Please yield. Don't keep the wounds.
2) Enjoy all of your home life (food, sex, etc.) in style.
3) The child is the second. The couple is first.
4) Cultivate love in your faith.
5) Strive to become a family free from worries about money.
6) Establish specific principles for relationships with relatives and practice them.
7) Do not keep secrets, and always open up your heart.
8) Always speak positively and positively.
9) Do what the other person likes, too.
10) Realize that you need each other and live a life that meets your needs.
The families of Aquila and Priscilla were consistent in their faith. They were a Christ-centered family who lived only with Jesus as their Savior. It was a church-centered family and a faith-centered family. It was a family where there was no disagreement with each other in providing their home as a meeting place for the church.
It was a family with the faith to lay down their lives for the safety and witness of the apostles' gospel. He made it possible for him to use his house as a place of worship in the midst of the dangers he might face.
The couple were excellent lay people who religiously guided Apollos, a world-renowned oratorical singer at the time. They were a couple with excellent common sense and spiritual leadership about the words of the Bible. Perhaps a married couple worked hard regardless of whether it was the Lord's work. He was an exemplary believer.
They had no complaints or complaints because they lived based on their faith. It was always a family full of gratitude. They were a couple who were respected and admired by all believers in Asia.
In general, there are three types of households.
First, it is not a family I made and live in, but a family where parents and siblings live together as the first family to be born in this world.
The second is a family I have built myself, where my wife and children live together.
The third is the spiritual family, where God created the family through the Holy Spirit.
The first and second are important in forming a family, but the last spiritual family is the most important. A perfect and happy family can be established only when the spiritual family is established correctly.
When we become one through faith and glorify God in the homes of our members, we believe that God will come to our families and give them wonderful miracles and blessings.
second. This family was economically self-sufficient.
JAMES HAMILTON describes the six elements of a happy family:
1) Architecture called honesty.
2) Interior decoration called tidy.
3) A heating called love
4) A lamp called cheerfulness
5) The gout called diligence
6) The barrier of protection and glory of God's blessing
By living honestly, a building with a strong foundation is built, and by living neatly, neat and refreshing decoration is achieved. A happy smile and a bright atmosphere act as a bright lamp, adding warmth with love and affection.
Fifth, diligence is really important. When you use a ventilator every day to breathe fresh air and refresh the environment, you can live a pleasant and healthy life in a clean and clean atmosphere.
Last but not least, you can enjoy eternal joy by receiving God's blessings, and you can lead a stable life because you have a strong shield.
The home of Aquila and Priscilla was a home that had all these six elements. It is a family where there was trust between the couple, and they worked hard and lived a healthy life.
It's not like you've raked in unimaginable money from the noisy entertainment business these days and seized the opportunity to make a fortune through real estate speculation.
The profits earned through hard work and sweat every day were usefully used for the gospel ministry. They were a married couple who did not invest in luxury and pleasure, but piled up treasures in the storehouse of eternal heaven.
Their hearts were always filled with a sense of fulfillment and happiness. Working hard and serving, I lived a world that was worth living.
third. It was a family where the couple loved each other equally.
In the New Testament era, there are many examples of families working hard to help the apostles together.
However, the families of Priscilla and Aquila were of the same mind, so they served together without complaint.
A couple cannot work with other family members unless they trust and love each other.
In this family, the husband was not a tyrant ruler. He was always a loving husband.
At that time, women were neglected in the home. However, Aquila was a good protector who guaranteed the rights of his wife even in those times. He was a wonderful husband who guaranteed his wife's rights as much as possible.
The wife also respected the wishes of her husband and was a volunteer who did her best to serve.
The Bible records the order of names at times as Aquila and Priscilla, and at other times as Priscilla and Aquila. However, the two must be recorded together.
Thus, they were a lovebird, so to speak, inseparable from each other, both religiously and in everyday life. They were such a beautiful couple who always stick together. Couples should not be separated. It is normal to be together.
It is said that in order to have a happy family, a man must know the characteristics of a woman well, and a woman must know the characteristics of a man well.
God created women aurally. I like to listen. Passive and responsive.
So if you try to be a good husband,
1) You must express and confess your love naturally.
2) You should speak softly rather than loudly.
3) You should not spare praise for being nice and pretty.
4) You have to kindly tell the things that happened outside.
5) A husband who lives with each other discussing anything is worth 100 points.
It is also said that God created man visually. I like to see. I'm looking for something beautiful. Active and aggressive.
A woman must listen, but a man is satisfied when he sees good things. So, to be a good wife, here are five tips.
1) You must not deny your husband's sexual desires.
2) You should be able to engage in hobbies.
3) You must cultivate yourself beautifully.
4) Create a peaceful atmosphere in your home.
5) You should praise and respect your husband.
If you do that, amazing changes will happen. Try it right now.
Let's create family happiness as married couples take responsibility for each other and love each other.
Many people cite health, wealth, and fame as factors of a happy family. But those things you see are only temporary.
Eternal things are not visible. These are things to keep in mind.
A home filled with faith, hard work, and love, like that of Aquila and Priscilla, will be a happier family. As time goes by, such a family will gain health, material possessions, and fame, and receive eternal blessings together.
I hope that you will become our members who enjoy great blessings and praise and honor from people by making happy families and pleasing God.
