Bible Texts: Gal.4:17-19, Gen.1:28, Eph.6:4, Jn.14:26
As the head of your family and the spiritual leader in your family fold, you cannot run away from challenges from within and without. But the most hurting is when the challenge comes from your wife and children. Firstly, you feel betrayed. Secondly, you feel disappointed. And in most cases, you do not have confidence to trust them anymore. And if this loss of confidence is not properly handled by the husband very quickly through the power in the word of God, he may be tempted to get physical with his flock, or hold bitterness against his sheep. This is not the way God wants you to go as a husband who is desirous of becoming good and godly.
God doesn’t want you to ventilate your anger horizontally-toward your wife and children. God wants you to ventilate your anger vertically-upward, where He sits. As a husband, what it means to ventilate vertically is to come and report your wife and children to the God of heaven, who gave them to you in the first place. God owns them (Gen.1:26-28, Gen.2:14-18, Eph.6:4, Zech.8:12). He knows them better than you do. So, rather than fight them, just take them to God in prayers. Talking to God about how you feel is not a gift, it is an art which you must learn by the help of the Holy Spirit. I will send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things (Jn.14:26). You must understand that as the shepherd over your sheepfold, your wife and children cannot escape the influence and authority of your intercession.
