There are evil patterns that have trailed many husbands from generation to generation. These evil patterns include but not limited to premature death, terminal diseases such as diabetes, barrenness, incest, that is sleeping with a close relation, armed robbery, adultery, and stagnation in business and career, divorce, accidents and much more.
Now, are you a husband reading this devotional today and it appears you have noticed some ungodly patterns in your life that seem to be happening which had occurred with your father. It is time to break such patterns and set a new course for your family and the generation ahead. Let us look at some husbands that suffered evil patterns in the Bible. Sarah’s husband, Abraham was one of them. He suffered famine in Gen.12:10, his son Isaac suffered such pattern in Gen.26:1. Abraham’s marriage was threatened by the king, Pharaoh in Gen.12:15, his son suffered the same attack from the king in Gen.26:9. Abraham lied about his marriage vow by saying that his wife was his sister in Gen.12:12-13. His son Isaac also followed the same pattern in Gen.26:7. Abraham suffered barrenness; his son Isaac also experienced the same challenge. Another husband who experienced evil patterns is David. He was the husband of Abigail. He committed adultery with Bathsheba. His son Solomon had the same experience because he had 300 wives and 700 concubines.
As the head of the family it is important for you to know that you have been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus so you can redefine a new and glorious path for your life and generations unborn (Rom.8:1, 2Cor.5:17). The Scriptures say that no other foundation can we build except the foundation of Christ (1Cor.3:11). And in another breath, the Word of God says that if the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do (Ps.11:3). Some parents have built a faulty foundation for their sons who eventually grow up to become husbands. These husbands cannot understand why it is taking so long for their wives to conceive or why they cannot but just tell lies-habitual liars. As the torch bearer of your family and a leading light in your home, you can lay a good and godly foundation. Our actions and inactions as the head of our families do not only have consequences in the present, it also counts for posterity. This is why you must set your family foundation right so that your seeds can be exempted from the curse that follows with a wrong foundation
