The Need For Home Management!


The dream of every married man or woman is to have a home where everything is orderly and where there is prosperity and progress.

What Is Management?
 

Management can be defined as skilful handling of anything put in your care.
 

All the resources you have at your disposal come from God, He entrusted them to you and these include your time, finances, gifts, talents, assets, etc. you also have members of your family; the husband, the wife and the children – these are great destinies and potentials that must not be wasted. God’s purpose is to make your home a show piece for all to see. Improper management is the reason some couples end up being demoralized and their homes are in disarray.
 

Good management of resources qualifies you for more of God’s blessings. To manage your resources properly, you need wisdom. Prov.24:3 says, “Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established.”
 

When you operate in the wisdom of God, no matter how little the resources in your hand, it will always be more than enough.
 

Wisdom demands that you always set your priorities right. It is lack of discipline and integrity to spend beyond your means.
 

Just as individuals are peculiar, every home is also peculiar, unique and special. So, even though there are general management rules that we can follow, you require the wisdom of God to devise unique ways of managing your home, because the priorities in other homes may not be the same in yours. This is why you need creativity to be able to meet every need of your home without running helter-skelter.
 

Have a good sense of management. Good managerial principles when adhered to, bring peace and harmony in the home. It will put an end to all your struggles with family finances, relationships, academic performance of your children and other areas of family life.
  You need stock-taking; take stock of what comes into your home from time to time and keep record of your expenses. This will help you to block any leakages and arrest wastage where necessary.
