God\'s Order for the Home

Every home is made up of individuals. If a single person is living on their own, they may be the home all by themselves. In these cases, it is especially important for the single person to look to the elders of the local church for balance and counsel.

In the home, the husband acts as elder and the wife as deacon. Together, they govern the home by God's process. God leads. they acknowledge Him. His faith comes. His grace does His work through them as they yield. God plants good seed in their hearts and in the hearts of the children, and this results in a change in what they are. The change has two parts: holiness and redemption.

We all need to discern and see the Body of Christ. We see all the gifts, ministries, offices, and orders of the Church. We also can discern and recognize the false. When we see Him as He is, we become like Him. He is a many-membered Body on Earth walking in submission the the Head in Heaven.

There is love in the home. The husband loves his wife and gives himself for her. The wife respects her husband and submits herself to him. The children experience the supernatural love in their parents. The children walk in that same love between each other. When decisions are made, the husband and wife talk together and pray that God reveal to them the decision that they should make. They look to God for mutual leading in everything. There is order in the home. There is no place for unresolved conflict in the home. It is the order of Scripture, not the order proposed by the culture. Every member in the home is built up by that which every joint supplies. The joints are those places between the members. There is a daily devotion, a family alter. This is a daily service where the Holy Spirit leads and every member has a part. There is a continual flowing of the Holy Anointing (the Holy Spirit) in the home. The children receive teaching in every situation continuously. The family gives tithes and offerings to the local church. They engage in hospitality. They have a ministry to the unsaved.
