SERMON:
Extract From Today's Message, October 12, 2025
Preacher: Pastor Felix Ayodele
Topic: A successful Family
Text: Genesis 7: 1-7
* When we are talking about family, we are talking about the father, mother and their children.
* If the father, mother or the children are successful, then the family is successful.
* Examples of Families in the Bible:
i. The family of Prophet Eli: Prophet Eli was a servant of God.
The Bible did not record any success for him, because the ark of testimony was taken away from Israel during his time. He and his sons died on the same day.
ii. The Family of Lot: Lot was someone who believed in God, to the extent that he accepted to sacrifice his children because of the angels.
He was successful, but he was not given the grace to move out of Sodom and Gomorrah with his supposed in-law.
iii. The Family of Noah: Noah's family is an example of a successful family with no blemish. He tried his best so that his wife, his three children and his sons' wives entered into the ark with him.
Despite the kind of lifestyles the people around him lived, but his family was still successful.
* The success we are talking about is not measured by the number of houses or cars owned by the members of the family. The success we are talking about is reigning with Jesus at the end.
* Noah and his family did what they were supposed to do.
* Each member of the family has one or two duties to perform before a family can be recognized as a successful one. Noah's family saw his faithfulness to God in him, and that is why it was easy for them to be faithful to God, and their success is being referred to till date.
* The ark at that time symbolizes Jesus. We have to determine to follow Jesus till the end, for us to have a successful family.
* To achieve a successful family, we must let JESUS be the Foundation of our home.
