Today’s devotional topic reminds me of when I was in boarding school in Jos. After dinner, we hear a call from our hostel prefect that it is light out. At this point, you suspend everything that you are doing and walk speedily to your bed. And if you are already on your bed, you just say your night prayers and sleep. Now this scenario that played out during my secondary school days is what the Holy Spirit is using to remind husbands that it is time for light out from adultery, hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, drunkenness, uncleanness and the likes. As a husband and the head of your family, it is very important for you to appreciate the position that you occupy in your family kingdom. God has made

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children. And walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. Eph.5:1-2. As the head of the family, it is very important for you to appreciate the two dimensions to the commandment God gave to you. God has commanded you to love your wife as Christ has loved the church. But what constitutes the love component? From our main text today, the Scriptures tell us that as followers of God, and leaders who desire that our followers will follow us, we must love our flocks even as Christ has loved the church. Very importantly, love is

But without a parable spake he not unto them, and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, LET US PASS OVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE. Mk.4:33-35. After Jesus had preached with great signs and wonders following, and when everyone taught that they had arrived, He ruffled their nest. He said, “let’s pass over to the other side”. I know that you will be wandering…

And do not come close to her or anything that represents her. Disconnect from her. To remain in your wife’s vineyard, read Pro.5:15-19. Dear husbands, it is not worth your effort to be on the other side. It is very dangerous on the other side. Where you are with your wife is much greener. Enjoy the pastures in the side of your wife.

That woman or girl whom you think will provide you a better alternative to your wife may disappoint you. It is not greener on the other side. The alternative woman will not give you the much needed peace that you think your wife could not or has not given you for months or even years. That strange woman cannot give you the inner strength and joy that you think your wife has not extended to you. It is not wisdom to seek for pastures on the side of another woman, no matter what your wife may have done to you.

Until, you purpose in your heart to be a wise leader, you will not achieve anything meaningful in your life as the spiritual head of your home. Everything to make you win as a husband begins in your heart. It is when you have sincerely settled it in your heart that God will extend His grace to you. Secondly, you must give attention to God’s principles and instructions as contained in the Word of God (Ps.1:2). It is the quality of attention that you give to the commandments of God that determines the quality of the health of your relationship with your flocks. Thirdly, you must pray for God’s grace to put His instructions to work (Matt.7:7). You are a prevailing husband.

Walking in divine or godly wisdom as the head of your family is very important to your success as a husband. As a spiritual authority in the administration of your family kingdom, you need heavenly wisdom to lead your wife and children, especially in this age where worldly wisdom has failed to provide help to the increasing rate of breakdowns in most relationships between husbands and wives.

Every time, you stop conversation with your wife either because your are angry with or bitter towards her, you open the doors for satan to begin to converse with her. Once that happens, you will either have lost your wife or your marriage. That was what happened in Gen.3:1-3, when the husband, Adam out of negligence, allowed

Jesus was a Jew, while the woman was a Samaritan. Culturally, the Jews and the Samaritans did not share anything in common. The Jews saw the Samaritans as inferior and second class. But the conversation at the well changed the entire situation. Jesus broke the tradition. Now let us put things in

But what shall I then render to my flocks? First, you must render to them the life of Christ in you. The life that Christ lived for mankind must be reproduced in your life- a life of forgiveness, mercy, kindness, peace, compassion, provision, faith, intercession and defence. Secondly, you must continue
