The riches of King Solomon could not be compared to all kings.
King Solomon said all men are created upright like us, but he said, they are all gone because
of their many schemes.
This was agreed upon by St. Paul that all of us are sinners, all that we have done come
short of the glory of God.
And because of this the relationship of God to men was destroyed, we have to be sure that
the first requirement to have a happy family is to ensure that we have a relationship with
God!
Being God our father will lead us to have a happy family.
Now the question is How can God be my Father?
Te bible is so clear, Prayer will not make us children of God, even going to the church,
it will not make us children of God.
There's only one way and this is Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, If anyone of you accepts Jesus as Savior they will be given the right, the
right to become children of God!
Being children of God is just a right because, there is only one child of God, and He is
Jesus Christ.
But we can also become children of God, if we will confess with our lips, that Jesus
is our Lord and believe in our hearts that our study says that we have to love God with
all our hearts, souls and strengths because faith should be confessed by the mouth and
believed by our hearts, that Jesus is our Savior.
Now, I will ask you a question, before I'll proceed, We can't give something to our children
the things that are not in us!
Do you understand it?
We can't give faith to our children if we don't have faith! we can't preach to our children
have faith in God while we ourselves have no faith.
It should start from Us.
Me to my children, two of them while they are growing, 6 years old , I taught them that
they have to love God above all.
Most of the things that we can give to our children as heirs will pass away.
It does not mean that because you are recipients of 4Ps you have no hope anymore to better
your life.
Yesterday, if you watched the news, there was a DH, all around now the owner of a big
company, Oh this is early this morning, So the life of a person can't be judged especially
that we will understand that God has designed a family, He himself will help us to have
a happy family because He is our father.
Amen, Who among you wants to ensure that God is his Father.
Those who will accept Jesus as your Savior just raise your hand.
then we will pray.
This is a prayer of accepting Jesus, a prayer where we must repeat it, Heavenly Father,
the maker of the heavens and earth, I do understand, for me to have a happy family, this must be
in accordance in your design this will start if you will be my Father and this will be
through accepting Jesus as my Savior.
This morning, I do open my heart, I repent of all my sins, shortcomings to my husband,
and also to my children I do accept you Jesus as my Savior.
Thank you very much in Jesus Name Amen!
So, this is the first requirement and we have done it already.
The bible said that we can't judge the faith of a person, because we are also human beings.
God saw us how serious are you when you accepted Jesus as your Savior.
March 6 you have accepted Jesus through confession from your mouth and the Bible said God is
our Father.
Second we have to have a stable relationship with the family.
when we say stable relationship we don''t have problems, When we say stable relationship,
it does not mean that the husband and wife are not quarreling.
Me and my wife, for the past years, with your regional director, if you want to have your
children be scholars our CHED office can help, me also, i will also help.
Who among you have scholars?
ahhh none! yes there is scholarship given by DSWD amounting to 60,000 pesos to the recipients
of 4PS for college!
CHED with DSWD can help.
When we say a strong relationship in the family, this does not mean that there will be no problems
anymore, no quarreling.
The stronger family have problems, have quarrels but they help and understand each other that
the meaning of it.
And thirdly we must have a happy relationship with each member of the family.
So our first question is how are we going to have a happy family, a good relationship
with the parents and children?
First we have to have a relationship with God, have a stable relationship with the family
and lastly, have a happier relationship with the family.
NOw the happy relationship in the family starts with knowing the roles of each member of the
family.
In the Filipino family and even to other nations, there are common members of the family.
Father, mother and children., We in the Philippines because we have close family ties, we have
extended family.
Even if our children are already married they are still with the family.
even the cousins and other relatives.
long and big extended family.
Let us look into the nucleus family.
When we say nucleus we pertain to the father, mother and children.
So there is design, this will happen when we know God's design.
So the design is there's a father, mother and children.
Ephesians 5:28, Husbands love your wives, as you love yourself those of you whose husbands
are not here, tell them their duty , Love me!!
The first design, husbands should love his wife.
Do you still remember when you were courted by your husbands.
Who wants to share.
Did he promise that stars will be given to you, the sun?
Did you enjoy being courted before?
The design of the Lord in the family, it is from the husband where love starts, that He
has to love his wife like his love to himself.
The problem is the husband, sometimes does not love himself so he can't give love.
Do you follow? as I said before we could not give something that is not posses by us!
Though he wants to share love, if from his childhood he did not experience love he could
not give love to his wife.
Now if you are in this situation, the bible is clear love is being developed.
It is developed it is being learned.
So tell your husband, wives teach them to love you.
How? first show them the love, love them first.
and this will happen.
Husbands have the following functions: love like how Jesus loved the church.
Jesus loved us till death on the cross.
So the husband should love like Christ as he will also die for the family.
Take care of the family, so the father must look for a job, or occupations.
Actually, sometimes there are works that we think will not give us much will give us more.
When I was young I worked many jobs, I sold bbque, I cleaned other houses for fee.
So we don't have to be selective for any sacred job because it was commanded to take care
of the family.
the, Learn and lead the family.
So therefore wives remember that the husbands are the leaders of the family.
Don't assume being the leader.
Don't be the head.
If you don't agree talk to the husband with respect, give your suggestions!
You have to open communication.
The husband is the leader of the family according to God's design.
When the wife leads the family it is not in accordance with God's design then the family
will be in chaos.
Please understand even if you have good reasons, the bible emphasized that the leader of the
family is the husband!
BUt the husband of course must love his wife.
Let us not destroy God's design' Now you as wives here are you works or duties.
You ahve to submit yourself to your husband.
When we say submit it does not mean that you will not speak.
Submit means that when you don't gree with your husband you
can discuss matters with him.
Ypu can ex[lain but at the end there is still no agreement then what ust prevail is the
leader.
Do you get it.
The leader, or the husband must prevail over the wife.
After submitting to the husband be a partner.
Helpmate or partner.
Last night, Wasn't it that the leader was killed?
kiled by his own son.
This is a typical story.
Child killed his father.
we hear in news or watch in television, child *** his grandmother.
this is not a false story, this is a true story.
Why do we have like this because the family is destroyed.
The family does not follow God's design.
So you as recipients of DSWD, you are blessed because you hear this teaching about the God's
design in a family.
and when God design it is there a better design for a family?
None... perfect.
and very accurate design.
all we have to do is to follow the design.
wife must be a partner to the husband.
Most of the husbands , I am speaking in behalf of fellow fathers, it
is our aim to have a happy family, but there are still others factors to consider that
hinder this objective.
Example, a father wants to have a good job but he can't find one, helikes to have a higher
salary but still none., there you must be a partner.
being a partner you dont have to be angry with him.
Most of men are not expressive but within him be a good example.
Who among you here that your children will grow like you?
So no one could speak and most of you are shocked?
Maybe the reason is you did not set a good example to your children.
I would like to say that it is not yet end, Is it yesterday or this morning?
there are second batch of graduates of rehabilitated patients.
Two of them gave testimonies.
He said I was an addict, had miserable life I go where ever I want now my life has already
its purpose.
Yesterday is not important compared today.
What is important is NOW.
You might not have listened to the same teaching before but now you have learned it .
