EVERYTHING IS ALL ABOUT JESUS (1)

Spread the love

Bible Texts: Eph.5:1-2, Eph.5:23, Heb.12:2, Rom.8:16

Be ye therefore, followers of God, as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour (Eph.5:1-2).

Everything you do for yourself, your wife, your children and the world is all about Jesus Christ, our Saviour and the perfect example of a good and godly husband. Jesus Christ is the reason for being the head of your family. Your family fold is the perfect example of the body of Christ that the Scripture refers to in Eph.5. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, and he is the savior of the body (Eph.5:23). Everything that Jesus did while he was on earth was to please the Father in heaven. So also, anything that you do as you lead your flock is to please Him, who sits in heaven and has been your advocate. 

Being the head of your family is not about bossing them around like sheep without a shepherd. It is also not about how much you have or know. It is also not about how rich your family background is. It is all about living the life of Jesus Christ for all to see and experience. The Scripture tells us in Matt.5:14-16 that you are light and salt to the earth and you are to shine the very life of Christ for all to see and for it to bring glory to God. Apostle Paul speaking said, whatever you do in word and in deed, do it as unto the Lord.

As the head of your family, you are a type of Christ in your family fold. Your desire is to receive the approval of God (Gen.18:19). You must see your position as an opportunity to serve your wife and children. You must appreciate that your headship is not a right but a great privilege from God His Lordship in the lives of your wife and children.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to be like You in all aspects of my life.
  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, take me deeper in love with You and let it be evident for all to see.
  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, destroy every garment of filthiness at work in my life and fill me with the newness of life in Christ.

FAITH CONFESSION

I yield my whole life to Jesus Christ so that I can be everything to my flock in Christ because that is what makes me a good and godly husband in Jesus Name. Amen.

    This is a wonderful way to minister too. But is there an app like this for women?
