Taking Jesus home.
from Daily Steps Podcast Hosted by Footsteps.Online
“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 1 Timothy 5:8 The first area that needs to be touched by your Jesusness is your lifestyle, and your lifestyle begins at home. Imagine this, the whole world knows that you are a saved, spirit-filled, tongue talking Christian but your family experiences you as this miserable, annoyed, short-tempered, and ill-disciplined individual? Are you not living a lie? When the Holy Spirit works on you, the fruits thereof must be experienced and enjoyed by your family and those near you before they can be enjoyed by the world. Your fruit of joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control should be experienced first by those who test it every day, which is your family and neighbours before the world can experience it. How you treat your family and those with whom you live shows just who you are at your core because you can only pretend with them for so long before your real heart is exposed. Today, I encourage you to work on prioritizing the fruit that your spirit bears is experienced by your family first, because then it will certainly be the fruit of the spirit, and not of your mind nor pretense.
