Main Scriptures: 2Cor.4:3-4
More Scriptures: Rev.12:11, Eph.1:18, Eph.4:18
If the good news we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the good news. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. (2Cor.4:3-4) NLT
One of the biggest challenges that husbands are confronted with is their inability to make their flock to see the truth. Few examples abound. A diligent husband, whose wife is planning to leave her marriage despite much pleas. A decent father, whose children are drifting away from godliness and living according to the rudiments of the world. The more you teach your flock, the farther away they are from the truth. You may have been discouraged and concluded your wife and children are hopeless cases. But the Scripture has given us the answer. There is a veil covering your flock from seeing the truth you teach. The Bible has this to say, if the good news we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing (2Cor.4:3). Your wife wants to submit to you. She wants to respect and honour you. Your children want to obey you. They want to walk in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Sadly, there is a force that has blinded them.
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe…. (2Cor.4:4). Your wife is not your enemy. Your children are not your adversaries. Satan has blinded their minds from seeing the glorious light that you teach them. Satan is responsible for the rebellious spirit in the lives of your flock. And he is the one you must dislodge and not your wife and children. So, how do I send satan packing from the lives of my flock? The first is by pleading the blood of Jesus Christ against him and his manipulations. In Rev.12:11, the Scripture says that they overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb….. Satan cannot withstand the power in the blood of Jesus Christ. Secondly, intensify your confession of faith by declaring the counsel of God over your wife and children. Nothing can stop the word of faith because it commits God to answer (Num.14:28). Rework your strategy, confront the devil and conquer.
