our family life 1:42 Our husband-wife relationship and our parent-children relationship also So first my wife will speak and then I'll share All of us who have been in the church for a few years 2:15 Especially we sisters we have a great longing for having a godly home And every now and then we see a home which we admire 2:35 And we say that's really a godly home and example to us But that does not come instantly Most of us we begin with a lot of struggle in our family life 2:59 And when we go through the struggle We should not think that that's going to be forever like that We must say that those families which we admire now 3:19 They must have gone through a lot of struggle to reach where they are now And one day you also will reach that state So we must hold on to that faith And today we were looking at Philippians chapter 2 3:41 I just want to share a verse from that very same chapter Which often gave me hope when my children were small That is verse 13 For God is at work within you 4:04 Helping you to want to obey Him And then helping you to do what He wants We think that oh God may not know how much I want a godly home But even that desire is from God 4:37 So everything began from God He put that seed in our heart A longing for godly home And He will water it and water it And strengthen it And one day there will be a godly home 4:57 And He will help us To do what He wants us to do So when we hear words in the church 5:20 Wives to be submissive And we see our soul such a strong will 5:43 Which doesn't want to submit Then you can fill in this blank Lord Please create in me that will And give me the strength to do And that's what you want me to do 6:04 And that's what you want me to do So you will give me the strength for that So whatever our problem as wives and mothers which we face Maybe we get irritated with our children Or with our servant 6:26 With other people Take this promise God will give you the will and enable you to obey Him Maybe you are having difficult children 6:49 Maybe you have difficult relatives Maybe you have problem with mother-in-law, father-in-law Or your own parents Or brothers, sisters giving you trouble 7:09 And we may think nobody can understand my situation For every situation there is a blank promise That is this one God is at work Is at work That means he is presently 7:29 Not was Or in the past years But right now he is at work But there is one small commandment also in this chapter In verse 14 7:51 Everything you do Stay away from complaining and arguing and murmuring So that no one can speak a word of blame against you Then you are to live a clean innocent life as children of God 8:11 In a dark world full of people who are crooked and stubborn When God looks down on this earth Is all he can see is darkness 8:32 But here and there There are people There are small lights That is the children of his who are not grumbling and complaining That means we can say Those who grumble and complain are living in darkness You know how close that grumbling and complaining spirit sticks to us 9:01 That much we are in darkness But when we ask the Lord We say Lord even in that Give me that will And help me to get over and get rid of the grumbling 9:21 Because you want me to live as a light in this world So whatever problems we are facing As wives and mothers 9:45 Maybe we don't have enough time to even read the word Cling on to one promise which God gives you I found like when I was in some time of difficulty or great pressure God gave me one word from somewhere in his word 10:07 One small phrase or one sentence And then I will say Lord you said like that Please give me the grace And make it happen in my life Like that we will grow to become women of faith 10:29 May God help us Let's turn to Malachi chapter 2 The history of Israel in the Old Testament It's many hundreds of pages all the way from Exodus to Malachi 10:57 It is much bigger than the New Testament So why has God put that for us to read When the old covenant is abolished There must be a reason 11:17 There must be a reason It's not just to know What God did in the past But that we can learn From the mistakes of people in the Old Testament So Malachi was the last of the prophets 11:48 And Israel made many mistakes in the Old Testament And God would send his prophets again and again to warn them And they would not listen to the prophets And from that we can learn how Christians Listen to prophets today 12:10 And don't listen And don't obey There were very few prophets in the Old Testament There are very few prophets even today I mean If some Israelites were living in the time of Elijah 12:32 Or Elijah They were really lucky Or Jeremiah Or Jeremiah You see I believe that Daniel Was a young man When Jeremiah was an older prophet And I'm almost certain 12:54 That Daniel was influenced by Jeremiah's prophecy Because we read about it in Daniel chapter 9 How Daniel studied Jeremiah's prophecy And that's how he started praying 13:16 But they didn't listen to the prophets Finally God sent the last prophet Malachi See a wise person Will learn from the mistakes that other people make And say 13:37 Let me learn from that So I don't make the same mistake Most people make mistakes themselves and learn A foolish man makes mistakes and does not even learn from that There are three types of people 13:57 Types of people One foolish man he makes a mistake and does not learn Then we have an ordinary man who makes a mistake and learns The wise man Learns from other people's mistakes So he doesn't make a mistake So he makes very few mistakes because he tries his best to learn from the mistakes of others 14:23 I'll give you an example Everybody knows About David's sin We are living in a time 14:43 When there are tremendous spirits of adultery All over the world So we can learn something from David How he fell David was a married man 15:06 He was 52 years old when he fell So don't think because you are married you won't fall Oh I crossed 50 years of age now I won't fall Learn from the mistakes of others 15:31 2nd Samuel 2nd Samuel We read in chapter 11 Chapter 11 and verse 1 2nd Samuel 15:51 We read here that In the spring At the time when the kings go to battle David sent Joab To fight the battle But he stayed at Jerusalem 2nd Samuel In the olden days David would himself go to the battle because the kings used to lead the battle in those days 16:21 But now He was a senior man He had been king for 22 years So he said I don't have to go now I'll send the others One small decision 16:44 It ruined his life If he had gone to battle He would never have fallen That happens to many people When you were young You would spend time in prayer 17:06 That is the battle nowadays But now you feel I have become a senior brother or senior sister I don't need to pray now That is all in the old days You are the one who is going to be in danger 17:28 You think you can stand You be careful that you don't fall And all of you I want to warn you in Jesus name One mistake You have ruined your whole life 17:49 And you ruined your name So that your children have to carry your shame So when we are kings and priests in Christ So when kings go to battle Don't go to sleep saying you are a senior king 18:11 If you go to battle You will be protected The second thing Verse 2 When evening came David arose from his bed People are fighting a battle 18:33 This guy is sleeping Sleeping at night is okay But when you are very lazy You sleep in the afternoon also And then you get up It's all a lifestyle of laziness 18:53 He was a king He had plenty to eat No discipline in his life In eating or sleeping Or anything And when you become so rich That you don't have to discipline yourself 19:13 In your eating or sleeping You will have problem in the sexual area also And we read That he decided to I mean at least when you get up from bed 19:34 Have a short prayer before you get up It's like a person A person wrote this little line Like a prayer Lord Till this moment today 19:57 I have not sinned I have not sinned I have not gossiped today I have not thought any bad thoughts today I never got angry today I have kept myself pure right up till now 20:18 But now Lord it's six o'clock in the morning and I am getting up Now I need some help Till now I was alright Because he was sleeping He never sinned 20:38 For the last eight hours I never sinned Isn't that wonderful not to sin for eight hours in thought or word or deed or anything But Lord I am getting up now I really need help from this moment You must remember that 21:02 And so he went around walking on the roof of the house He wasn't looking for anything he just accidentally saw a woman taking a bath there What should he have done? 21:22 He said he should have said I am not going to look at that That's somebody else's wife there taking a bath why should I look at it He should have turned and gone back to his room But he kept on looking And when you keep on looking you'll begin to lust 21:44 Especially as it says here in verse 2 because the woman was very beautiful And then it went from one sin to another sin finally ended in murder In Malachi 22:04 When we read in chapter 2 David was a married man He had no business looking at somebody else's wife He had no business looking at any other girl 22:25 And he was in the old covenant These things are written as a warning for us As I told you there are about 700 pages of Israel's history in my Bible 22:47 And the new testament is only about 200 pages So more than three times the history of the old testament What for? 23:07 To warn us about things like this which I am saying now There are many other warnings like this Even from the failures of Moses Elijah Mistakes of many of the 23:29 Great men in the old testament Abraham Isaac Jacob But here we read in Malachi 2 Verse 14 First of all in verse 13 it says You cover the altar of the Lord with weeping and groaning 23:52 But he doesn't regard your offering and doesn't Or accept it with favor from your hand See, I don't know whether you understand this One of the most terrible things that can happen to you 24:17 Is when God doesn't listen to your prayer Boy, I would be thoroughly discouraged if God stops listening to my prayer I don't know how many of you feel like that 24:42 Some of you may feel alright, it doesn't matter if God doesn't listen to my prayer I carry on with my life That is the most terrible thing that can happen to you You get your leg amputated, it's not such a serious thing 25:01 God stops listening to your prayer What type of Christian are you then? Why does God, why did God stop listening to the prayer there? Because, verse 14, the Lord has been a witness 25:25 That you have dealt treacherously with your companion who is your wife by covenant She is called the wife of your youth 25:46 She may be 75 years old How can you say my 75 years old wife is the wife of my youth? You know what that verse means? You must look at your wife Exactly like she was 26:07 When you were first attracted to her as a young girl Whatever her age You look at her The way she was when she was young 26:29 And if you don't do that Then you will look at other young women and get attracted to them Husband wife relationship is very sacred before God 26:50 It says here she is your wife by covenant See 1 Peter chapter 3 It says the same thing here 1 Peter 3 and verse 7 27:11 Husbands live with your wives in an understanding way because she is a weaker vessel If you don't live with her in an understanding way And you don't grant her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life 27:36 Verse 7 Then your prayers will not be heard Same thing in Malachi God is not listening to your prayer because you are not living in a proper way with your wife 27:59 Sisters, God is not listening to your prayer because you are not living in a proper way with your husband So it's a very serious thing when husband and wife are not getting along with each other 28:23 Why does God want you to be one? Turn back to Malachi chapter 2 In verse 15 it says 28:43 Now this is translated in different ways in different translations So I want to tell you how I understand this verse In those days people did not have the Holy Spirit within them So it's saying here that even if you have a little bit of the Holy Spirit you will never act like this 29:09 If you say you have the Holy Spirit and you are born again You will never have this type of disunity and disloyalty to your husband or wife You will never have this type of disunity and disloyalty to your husband or wife 29:31 He wants you to be one And why does he want you to be one? Verse 15 because he is seeking a Godly offspring In order to get a Godly offspring husband and wife must be one 29:51 So therefore take heed to your spirit it says And don't deal treacherously with the wife of your youth So what I want to stress there is that 30:14 The best way to bring up Godly children Is by husband and wife being one And in verse 16 it says Take heed to your spirit Verse 15 and 16 30:34 Twice it is mentioned It's not your external getting angry or actions You know when you get angry with your husband or wife 30:55 Or you speak in a rude way Just controlling your tongue does not solve the problem It's your spirit From the heart Jesus said the words come out through the mouth 31:15 We have to watch our heart A heart means your thoughts that come up Which are not good towards your husband or wife Don't wait till it comes out of your tongue 31:40 You must deal with it in your heart itself As soon as the thought comes up Because you and your wife Or you and your husband You and your wife are husband and wife are one One you can have Godly children Now I did not know all this when I was married 32:01 We were married 42 years ago And I'll tell you honestly I did not have victory over sin 42 years ago I did not know the message I am preaching today 32:21 For seven years of my married life I never knew all this So seven years of my married life I was defeated I would get angry And speak rudely 32:41 I am ashamed of it But What to do But I thank God it has all changed now All I say is don't get discouraged If you were also in the same pit of anger and rude words 33:01 No you can get out of the pit like I got out of it I got out of it long ago It's gone now from my life completely So 33:21 That my children could see a house of peace In those first seven years of our married life My children were thankfully very small They don't remember too much So If your children are small 33:45 You got some time to work on your relationship with your husband and wife By the time your children come to an age of understanding They must see father and mother living in peace 34:05 Loving one another Caring for one another Respecting one another Especially in the way you speak to each other And respecting each other 34:26 You brothers who are husbands I want to ask you a question Don't you think you should be the king in your house? Yes or no? You should be the king in your house 34:48 It's not a sin You want to be the king in your house? You want to be the king in your house? I'll tell you how to do it You want to know? Treat your wife like a queen Very easy 35:10 Only one sentence Treat your wife not like a slave but like a queen And when she becomes a queen What does her husband become? King Okay, now I'll ask the sisters 35:33 You're not going to escape Do you want to be the queen in your house? Do you want to be the queen in your house? Yes or no? You know the answer Treat your husband like a king Boy, what wonderful homes we're going to have in Tamil Nadu from today onwards 35:57 We're going to have royal kings and queens in our homes And our children will grow up as princes and princesses Spiritual thing 36:18 That's how it should be Now even if you don't attain that goal in one day Say, Lord, I'm going to get there I want a home like that Where We are one as husband and wife 36:39 I'm not going to get discouraged because I'm defeated Because I heard from Brother Zach He was also defeated once So that gives me hope If he was defeated, it's alright Then I can also become like him one day 36:59 Don't give up hope You can be an overcomer But you have to say, Lord, I want this life I want my home to be like a heaven on this earth See, in the book of Deuteronomy 37:24 There is a very beautiful promise It's in Deuteronomy And I think it's chapter 11, isn't it? 37:44 Verse Let me just see Verse 21 In the margin of my Bible, it says That in the land in which you go That in the land in which you go Which the Lord promised your fathers Your days will be like the days of heaven upon earth 38:10 Your days will be like the days of heaven upon earth I have read that verse many years ago 38:32 And I said, Lord I want my life to be like that That people who come in touch with me Will taste a little bit of heaven A little bit of the holiness of heaven 38:52 Joy Peace Nobody is in a bad mood in heaven And I don't want ever to be in a bad mood on this earth And imagine, if our home is like that 39:12 That every day in your home is like a day of heaven on this earth You say, Lord, I want a home like that I'll tell you something about God I've discovered through many years 39:32 You will not receive if you do not ask The most important thing that we need is salvation from sin First of all, forgiveness of sin 39:54 Even that you cannot get unless you ask See what it says in Acts 4 and verse 12 It says, there is no other name given among men 40:23 Whereby we must be saved And it goes on to say here In another verse I'm just looking for that verse Where it says, whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved That's a promise 40:46 If you call upon the name of the Lord, you'll be saved Turn to James in chapter 4 Last part of verse 2 41:13 What is it saying? You do not have because you do not ask You do not ask You don't call upon the name of the Lord You don't even get forgiveness of sin You don't ask the Lord for victory over sin 41:35 You won't get victory over sin Luke 11:13 says God will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him Remember this verse in James You do not have because you do not ask Even the smallest little thing 41:59 Why did somebody else get it? He asked for it In the Gospels There is a story of a blind man Who cried out to Jesus for healing 42:19 And we read there that the people told him to keep quiet Mark chapter 10 There was a blind beggar named Martimeus verse 46 Sitting by the roadside begging He was blind and he was a beggar 42:42 Mark 10:46 He didn't have a house He lived by the roadside just like some beggars today And he heard a noise on the road He couldn't see anything And he asked people what's happening He said Jesus the Nazarene is walking by 43:05 And he had heard about Jesus healing other sick people And it says he cried out Verse 47 He didn't just say softly He cried out Jesus of Nazarene son of David have mercy on me 43:29 And a lot of people standing near him They sternly told him Be quiet Not just told him but it says they sternly told him Keep quiet 43:50 Who do you think you are beggar this is a great prophet But he didn't care for what people said Supposing he listened to all those people and say Oh okay I am nobody I will just keep quiet He didn't care what anybody said 44:12 You must be like that You can learn from this blind beggar Blind beggar can teach Christians many things Cry out Lord Jesus 44:32 Save me Save me from my sin Save my children Save my home Save my husband Save my wife And when did he stop And when did he stop He stopped only when Jesus listened to him 44:54 Jesus stopped and said Call him here Then those people said oh He is calling you go And Jesus said Yes What do you want me to do for you Verse 51 I will tell you this when you call out to the Lord 45:14 He will ask you that he is the same today What do you want me to do for you He said Rabboni I want to regain my sight What a fantastic request 45:34 He was asking for a miracle What a bold man he was to ask for a miracle like that He didn't say give me some money give me a job He said give me my sight He was asking for one of the most amazing miracles 45:57 A man born blind to asking for that eyes should be open And Jesus said your faith has made you well Where do we see his faith Two things One He did not keep quiet even though everybody told him to keep quiet 46:21 And secondly He asked for the most fantastic miracle of all That is where your faith is manifested And even if so many voices say it's no use praying nothing will happen No no no your homism will never become better 46:42 Your children will not improve Your husband is hopeless your wife is hopeless Don't waste your time praying No no no And you keep quiet You learn a lesson from blind Bartimaeus No Lord I am going to believe you that my wife will change 47:06 My husband will change My children will change My home life will become heavenly I am not going to give up He shouted even more That's faith And then when the Lord asks you what do you want 47:27 Ask him for the biggest miracle possible Don't ask for small things Say Lord give me a heavenly home Give me godly children He didn't ask for money Lord I am not asking for money Give me a godly home 47:49 And everything I need will be added I know that See if you seek the kingdom of God You get all the other things you need for earth as well But if you ask for the earthly things that's all you'll get Ask for the greatest miracle you can think of 48:13 And don't stop asking So what did I say The way you can bring up godly children is by being one as husband and wife And you don't know that the devil knows that 48:34 And because the devil knows that And he wants to mess up your children's lives He is going to try everyday to create some misunderstanding between you and your husband or wife It's some little thing you said which the other person will take in a wrong way 49:03 And then there's a misunderstanding And then you don't talk to each other for the whole day And the devil is happy You must be careful there Lord I know the devil is just waiting to come between us 49:23 Turn to Genesis chapter 2 Here's a beautiful verse The last part of verse 24 49:45 The man shall cleave to his wife And the two shall become one flesh The two shall become one And the man and his wife were both naked they were not ashamed 50:05 They were completely honest and open with each other God wanted them to be one What's the next verse? The serpent Came 50:26 Between them Came between them and God And then came between both of them So whenever you hear a word from God Like you're hearing now 50:46 The two shall become one The next thing you can be sure is The serpent hears that and he comes I'll tell you right now As soon as the devil hears these two shall be one 51:08 He's ready to come immediately That's what you see here God said the two shall be one The serpent comes So Be on the alert Don't go to sleep like David 51:32 Say Lord I want to be alert See 1 Peter chapter 5 Verse 8 Be of sober spirit And be on the alert 51:52 Because your adversary the devil prowls about like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour Submit to God's will Like that picture of the Potters 52:13 The clay submitting to the potter Say Lord I want to submit To your will in my life God decided when you were born 52:33 Whether you should be a man or a woman God didn't make a mistake God didn't make a mistake I don't think any man wants to be a woman But I think some women Preferred that they would be like men Do any of you men want to wish you were a woman? 53:02 No You like to be the head of your house But sisters let me ask you I won't ask you I won't ask you whether you would like to be a man I would ask you Would you like to be the head of your house? Yeah, you say that I would like 53:25 And I don't have to listen to my husband who tells me to do all types of stupid things That means you want to be a man And you wish you were born as a man And you were saying Lord you made some mistake in my making me a woman 53:49 Do you think God made a mistake when you were in your mother's womb? Well, let me tell you right now he doesn't make any mistake If he gives you six daughters, do you think he's made a mistake? 54:15 No In the world they say that Oh! Another daughter, how sad God doesn't say that Joy in heaven over every baby that's born God didn't make a mistake when he made you a woman 54:37 And he's got a wonderful purpose for you I think Eve Was not happy that she was made after Adam No, I don't know her mind 54:59 You say how do you know Eve felt like that? Because when the serpent came She did not allow Adam to speak She herself replied to the serpent They were both standing together next to each other It says there in Genesis 3 that they were standing next to each other 55:22 And the serpent of course knew I can get the wife first And she starts replying You know, like the head of the house And she takes the fruit without consulting Adam at all 55:43 What does that indicate? I wish God had made me first Why do I have to consult him? You know that all the confusion in the world came because of that 56:04 All the sin came because of that What does it mean to submit to God's way? It means to submit to the fact God made you a woman Okay, God has given you a second place in the home 56:27 To be submitted to your husband And brothers, God has made you to be the head Now there is a lot of difference between head who is a dictator telling people what to do There are two things this physical head does 56:49 This brain One, it tells the body what to do Tells the fingers, legs, everything what to do But there is another thing The head cares for this body Even a small thing 57:12 Supposing one small mosquito comes and sits on this left hand It's not a big thing, it's not like a lion coming to eat your hand It's just a mosquito Immediately the head says, oh My wife is hurt a little bit 57:33 Let me do something to get rid of that problem You see how quickly the head tells the right hand to drive off that mosquito After a mosquito bites you, how long does it take for your right hand to act? Five minutes 58:01 One minute Not even five seconds See how quickly the brain acts That's what it means to be the head Not only to tell your wife what to do But the sense When she's hurt 58:22 And to remove that hurt Then You're going to be a good head And you'll have wonderful children So from today onwards We're going to have some wonderful homes in Tamil Nadu 58:43 In our churches God bless you Let's pray Heavenly Father Your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path Help us to live 59:06 In a godly way We've all failed miserably in our past years We are ashamed of the way we spoke to one another But we thank you that the blood of Jesus has cleansed all that 59:27 And now In the days to come we can live godly lives And we can bring up godly children Thank you In Jesus name Amen 59:48 God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you 1:00:08 God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you
