Main Scriptures: Romans 8:5-6
More Scriptures: Gal.6:8, Jn.3:6, 1Cor.2:14
Yesterday, the Person of the Holy Spirit helped husbands to understand that spirituality is the cure to carnality. For you to overcome filthiness of the tongue, lying and deceit, cheating, fornication and adultery, and all forms of ungodliness, you must step up your spirituality. Carnality is beyond title or position. It is not about the fact that you are not a pastor of your church or founder of your ministry or even not born again. You can be any of these and yet live a carnal life.
Today, I want to share with every husband the benefits of being spiritual and staying spiritual. In Rom.8:6, the Scriptures say for to be carnally minded is DEATH but to be spiritually minded is LIFE and PEACE. From this verse of Scriptures, you will notice that if you are carnal, it will lead to death, both physically and spiritually. When you are carnal, you lose grip of the spiritual destiny of your wife and children-a once vibrant child who before now was burning for God suddenly finds the things of the Spirit irritating. They are no longer interested in prayers, word study and fellowship. They do not cherish godly values anymore. And when you put all these together, you will realize that your children have become wayward and a burden on you and your name.
A lot of the times, if only the husbandman had been spiritual, he would have stopped the enemy’s attacks on his sheep and sheepfold. For instance, your children should not have turned out bad and unruly if they had not attended that school or associated with those friends. If you had heard from the Person of the Holy Spirit (Jn.14:26) before you took those decisions, you would have been spared of the negative consequences you are under today. Living in carnality deprives you the power to provide good and godly leadership. It also impacts how you eventually lead your wife and children in the way that they should go- be it education, journeys and places to go, who they relate with and how they should live.
You must have the capacity to see ahead of your sheep sothat you can help them out of dangers that they may not see. That is your pride as the head of the family. When you live a spiritual life, the end for you, your wife and children is life and peace. This means that you would have put your wife and children on good stead in their spirit, soul and body. And with your spirituality, you can protect your wife and children from satanic attack. I can tell you how on so many occasions my children and wife have been rescued from the attacks of the enemy by the spirit of God. Husbandmen, enough of carnality. Let’s be spiritual. It is the security that your wife and children need to live a triumphant life.
