A Challenge for men:

How to be a servant in my family/ Family?

How to be a servant in my family/ Family?
Discipline: How do I handle my responsibilities and roles- in meditating and studying the scriptures until the will of God is clearly identified for me and my family/Family?

How to be a servant in my family/ Family?
Wisdom: Do I pray for wisdom to be able to communicate properly and clearly God’s will to everyone from the family/Family? When you can not talk to people about God, talk to God about people.

When you can not talk to people about God, talk to God about people.

A family/ Family- Ultimate Purpose is God’s idea and builds according to His plan

 

Be humble
A family/ Family is God’s idea and builds according to His plan, not contemporary ideas

Be kind and good
A family/ Family exists and functions properly if we recognize differences between us as structure, role and gifts

The competition of self-affirmation is fueled by the lack of clear goals and roles in the family/Family

“Ephesians 2:21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,

Ephesians 2:22 in whom you also are being built together into a house of God in the Spirit.”

  • The Image of new man
  • The Image of old man

What doe we want to have from our family/ Family?

  • A place of manifestation of the image of the evil one?
  • A place of manifestation of the image of God?

 

In family/ Family … we are united…..

God has placed us side by side to help us in the process of undressing of the old man and in the dressing up with the new man.
