THE BIG FAMILY OF GOD
Pastor Marcus Daniel
Lilongwe Branch
Second Service
In the divine wisdom of God, He has strategically positioned us within biological and spiritual families, each playing a vital role in our growth and development.
Why are families so crucial?
1. Families provide a sense of belonging and spiritual camaraderie, a testament to the power of community in our Christian walk.
2. Families offer spiritual covering and protection, as echoed in Hosea 12:13 KJV.
Let us not become too mature that we become impervious to correction and guidance.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT YOUR SPIRITUAL FAMILY
1. Don't disconnect yourself from the family due to rebuke or correction. Misunderstandings are part of family dynamics; if you leave a church over misunderstandings, you may carry that pattern with you.
2. Don't disown your spiritual family over conflicts; instead, seek resolution and healing.
3. Don't leave your spiritual family due to life's delays or unmet expectations. Some things in life follow the law of process; faith must be accompanied by patience. The elders obtained a good report through faith and patience.
4. You don't abandon your home because a neighbor's house looks more appealing. Home is where the heart is; visit other places, but your spiritual home remains your foundation.
5. Avoid being a mobile member, flitting from one spiritual community to another without commitment.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF A SPIRITUAL FAMILY MEMBER
1. Treasure your spiritual family and esteem it with loud, bold, and proud declarations.
2. Represent your spiritual family with integrity and accuracy in all spheres of life, upholding the reputation of RFP.
3. Commit to your spiritual home and actively participate in all its activities, fostering growth and unity.
