HE SPAKE AND THEY FOLLOWED HIM (2)

Spread the love

Bible Texts: Jn.1:36-40, Ps.23:1, Acts 3:1-10, Jn.14:6, 1Tim.3:2

So, being a teaching priest to your wife and children is the secret to commanding their followership. Here is a trustworthy saying. Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, ABLE TO TEACH (1Tim.3:1-2) NIV. You are the overseer in your sheepfold, overseeing God’s treasures-your wife and children. One of the virtues you must possess is the ability to teach the word of God to your wife and children. You will notice that students always run to good teachers when they have challenges with their school work.

But for you to be a good and effective teacher, you must first give attention to study God’s word, the Bible for yourself through the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit. Study to show thyself approved as a workman who is not ashamed but rightly dividing the word of truth (2Tim.2:15). A lot of the times, we lead our sheep by assumptions. And this is responsible for the distortions in the family settings and challenges between the shepherd and his sheep.

As the good and godly husbandman, you must not lead my assumption but by knowledge. You must seek to know what the plans of God are for your life as the godly man, husband and father. You must also intentionally search your Bible to know God’s perfect will for your wife and children. It is when you study your Bible and understand it by the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit that you can rightly apply the truth to those areas of challenges between you and your sheep. So, please study. It is your gateway to influence.

Now, as you give yourself to studying the word of God, you become bold and unashamed. You become confident to speak God’s word over that circumstance and challenges confronting your wife and children. And as you gain mastery over satan, sin and the world by the power in the word of God, your wife and children will joyfully, willing and faithfully follow you. Just fill your spirit with revelation and the truth of God’s word and teach them to your sheep and watch your wife and children line up with you.
