Unsearchable Quest For Knowledge

Spread the love

Main Scriptures: 2Tim.2:14-15

More Scriptures: 1Pet.3:7, Col.3:21, Pro.4:18

I love this affirmative and desperate heart cry of Apostle Paul. Although he had deep encounters with the Person of the Holy Spirit, leading him to write almost three quarters of the Bible, yet he longed to know more of Jesus Christ. He did not assume that he knew enough of Jesus Christ. He strived hard to deepen his personal relationship with Christ.

That is the attitude God wants you to have towards your wife and children. You must continue to deepen your knowledge of your flock. You must never allow assumptions to take the better part of your leadership function in your family fold. Even the Scriptures warn against becoming complacent. What sorrow awaits you who lounge in luxury in Jerusalem and you who feel secure in Samaria……. (Amos 6:1) NLT. Another version says, “woe unto them that are at ease in Zion…….” As the head of the family, you cannot know enough about your wife and children. The knowledge about your wife when you both just got married would need to be enhanced by the time she starts bearing children for you. A lot of things mentally, psychologically and physically, must have changed with her. So, it is with your children. The knowledge that you have of your seed when they were toddlers would be needless when they become young teenagers.

As the head of the family and the leader over your flock, you must understand that knowledge is incremental in nature if it would be relevant and impactful. The Bible tells us that the path of the justified shines brighter and brighter unto a perfect day. You must keep searching and learning about your sheep. God has positioned to lead your wife and children. You need to connect to their spirit, soul and bodies in order to make the most of their followership of your headship. To learn about your flock, ask the Person of the Holy Spirit, to open your eyes to see their strength, weaknesses and fears. Also, ask Him to open your ears to hear those small still voices that prompt you about the character and expectation of your wife and children. And the Holy Spirit, the Comforter will teach you all things…. Jn.14:26. And as you give yourself to learning on a continuous basis about your wife and children, it makes it easier for you to lead them because they will respond joyfully to your instructions and leadership.
