Bible Texts: Pro.4:20-25, Ps.51:10, 2Cor.7:1, Ps.19:14
The topic we are looking at today was derived from our LUNCH HOUR Bible study, and it came as a result of questions asked by husbands like you and me. Why would a husband kill his wife? Why would a husband physically beat up his wife? Why would a husband, who once loved his wife suddenly makes a u-turn and hates her? Why would a husband refuse to protect his wife or children? Why would a father refuse to take personal responsibility to nurture his children in the way of God and refuse to provide for his family?
These and many more questions confront husbands daily, and going through various Scriptural references at the meeting, it was established that when the knowledge of God is taking away from a man, he begins to act in ways that do not fit his position as a husband. His conscience no longer pricks him. He sees wrong as right and justifies his actions. This is why it is very important that as the head of your family, you must guard jealously the knowledge of God in your life. This means giving attention to the word of God and allowing it to gain access into your life.
Satan is not interested in your wife or children as much as he is interested in stealing God’s knowledge resident inside of you. Satan knows that if he can steal from you the knowledge of God’s love, you will not find it difficult to hate your wife or wish your flock bad will. In Prov.4:20-25, the Scripture says, my son attend to my WORDS, keep them in the midst of your heart…… Subsequently, the word of God advises you and I to guard our hearts with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life.
As the spiritual head of your family and the leader of your home, you must appreciate that knowledge is power. You cannot act beyond what you know. And because your life does not operate in a vacuum, once the knowledge of God is taken, what fills your heart is the knowledge of the devil. And the devil’s knowledge is evil and ungodly. It makes you to do the unthinkable. A lot of the times, it is after you have done the act that you realize that you have missed the tract. Some other times, satan blinds the eyes of your conscience to see that you are on the wrong track-he justifies your wrong actions.
