YOUR SUREST SOURCE

Main Scriptures: John 1:1-3

More Scriptures: 2Tim.3:16-17, Eph.2:2, Phil.3:12

As the head of the family and the spiritual leader over your wife, how you handle your wife will determine the response you will get from her. There is the right way to respond to your wife and there is also the wrong way. Information coming from internet, radio, television, parents, acquaintances, friends in our social circles and our culture would suggest to you on how to respond to your wife. But there is one sure way to handle your wife and it is from the WORD OF GOD-THE BIBLE IN YOUR HANDS.

But why is the Bible the surest source to get the nuggets you require to treat your wife?  It is because the BIBLE contains the mind of Jesus Christ, who represents the perfect example of the good and godly husband. The Scripture says of Jesus Christ, He is the way, the truth and the life (Jn.14:6). So, He is the way and He will show you how to handle your wife. He says He is the truth. This means that whatever He tells you to do about your wife is true. In Jn.1:1-3, Jesus is described as the Word of God, and that is what the Bible represents to you and I as husbands. In 2Tim.3:16-17, the Scriptures say, all Scriptures is inspired by God and profitable to TEACHING, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for TRAINING in RIGHTEOUSNESS that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. The word of God provides the platform for you as the head of the family to obtain wisdom keys to teach your wife where she needs to be taught, correct and reproof her in love without breaking the egg, and training her in truth and righteousness.

You are the spiritual head of your family and as such you must discard your old ways and be renewed in your spirit. You are the workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works (Eph.2:10). The temptation to claim to know it all or to be in command as the head of the family is there. But According to Phil.3:12, you should behave as though you have not achieved much. That is the only way you access God’s wisdom keys from His Word-the Bible. Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I PRESS ON IN ORDER THAT I MAY LAY HOLD OF THAT FOR WHICH ALSO I WAS LAID HOLD OF BY CHRIST JESUS (Phil.3:12)
