Main Scriptures: Proverbs 1:33
More Scriptures: Eph.6:4, Col.3:21, Pro.19:18
Yesterday, the Person of the Holy Spirit taught husbands the position that they should take as the spiritual leader and head of the family. He taught us that what makes husbands great before God and man is the level of obedience to the commandments of God. Today, let us look at the blessings that come when we obey God as we relate with our sheep.
In verse 33 of our main text today, the Scriptures say but whoso hearkeneth unto me SHALL DWELL SAFELY AND SHALL BE QUIET FROM FEAR OF EVIL (Pro.1:33). As the head of the family, when you obey God by doing those things that pleases your wife and children, you shall dwell in safety and be quiet from fear of evil. If you are faithful to your wife, you will not be afraid of who calls you or sends you text messages. You will not decode your numbers or caller identification. You will not also be scared of picking incoming calls. Infact, you will freely leave your phone around the home. Also, you will not be afraid of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Sadly, there are many husbands, who have wickedly contracted sexually transmitted disease and infected their innocent wives with them thereby leading to the untimely death of their wives.
When you obey God by teaching your children the way of the Lord, you will not be afraid of your tomorrow or the future of your children. In Eph.6:4, the word of God says, and ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It is your responsibility to train your children in the way of the Lord and not your wife. The success or failure of your children is determined by your willingness to obey God in teaching them. Also, as the head of the family, you have been instructed to do all things decently. This means that the words that come out of your mouth and the way you conduct yourself must be with discretion. If you say it doesn’t matter and you abuse your wife and children emotionally and physically, you will not enjoy quietness at home. Dear husband, has your life become so miserable that you are beginning to lose your mind? Or has your relationship with your wife and children become that of cat and dog, where you don’t see eye to eye? Or has your home become a war zone? I want you to check again. It may just be that you have despised the instructions of God. Get back to God and yield to obedience to God’s commandments and instructions.
