Prophetess, Mrs Oloruntoyin Bakare has underscored the significance of marriage and Christian homes, describing them as among life’s greatest privileges and most remarkable adventures. According to Bakare, these institutions, designed by God to foster a godly society, are frequently targeted by the devil to disrupt peace and tranquillity within families.
Prophetess Mrs. Bakare asserts that a godly home serves as a witness to non-believers, providing stability, security, and support. It forms the foundation of our lives, passing godly principles and values from one generation to the next. The primary purpose of every Christian home, she believes, is to create a blissful world.
Despite the absence of perfect homes or marriages, certain characteristics define every genuine godly home. According to a godly home begins with a godly marriage, which serves as the bedrock for fulfilling God’s promises. In such homes, the wife and children follow God-given roles under the husband’s leadership.
Parents are tasked with raising their children in the love and nurture of the Lord, as stated in They must instil enduring spiritual values such as reverence, worship, and service to God, referencing. Prioritizing family time and avoiding negligence are crucial, Unity in discipline and a consistent prayer life are essential, as “the family that prays together, stays together.”
A lack of biblical instruction and discipline can lead children astray, resulting in issues like drug addiction and criminal behaviour. Many children end up in correctional centres or face premature death due to insufficient training and discipline.
Building a godly home protects marriages, children, and all that God has given, Prophetess Bakare emphasizes. Satan seeks to attack Christian homes, but by adhering to biblical principles, fostering a loving environment, and maintaining a strong spiritual foundation, families can withstand these challenges and contribute positively to society.
Prophetess Mrs Bakare urges every member of a Christian family to continuously perform their duties to exert a positive Christian influence on society, ensuring that the values and principles of a godly home are upheld and passed on.
