HOUSEHOLD – with Peter Oluwatomiwa Timothy

My words biblically Household is the House-law refer to Economy, Greek word for economy is oikonomia. This Greek word is composed of two words oikos meaning house or household and nomos meaning law. Economy is a house law, a household administration. This household administration is for the carrying out of God’s purpose, and God’s plan.

The household management, the household administration, arrangement and distribution, or dispensation.

“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 1 Timothy 1:4”

SHORT STORY!
In the small town of Lagos, Ade was struggling to make ends meet. His business was failing, and he was drowning in debt. One day, he stumbled upon Proverbs 22:29: “The diligent will be rewarded, but the lazy will be punished.”

Ade took this verse to heart and started working tirelessly to turn his business around. He applied biblical principles of hard work, integrity, and generosity. Slowly, his fortunes changed.

Meanwhile, Nigeria was facing economic challenges. Inflation was high, and many were suffering. But Ade’s personal breakthrough inspired him to contribute to his community. He created jobs, supported local initiatives, and shared his testimony.

As he prospered, Ade remembered Matthew 6:24: “You cannot serve both God and money.” He prioritized his faith, using his wealth to bless others.

Proverbs 28:22 came to mind: “A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him.” Ade chose generosity, and his blessings multiplied.

Nigeria began to see growth too. As individuals applied biblical principles, the nation’s economy flourished. 1 Timothy 6:10 warned against loving money, and the people focused on serving God, not just wealth.

Ade’s story spread, inspiring many. Together, they built a prosperous community, reflecting God’s love and wisdom.

• Proverbs 22:29 – “The diligent will be rewarded, but the lazy will be punished.”
• Proverbs 28:22 – “A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him.”
