THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE

Spread the love

Bible Texts: Pro. 1:33, Eph.6:4, Col.3:21, Pro.19:18

Yesterday, the Person of the Holy Spirit taught husbands on the position that they should take as the spiritual leader and head of the family. He taught us that what makes us as husbands is in obedience to all that God has commanded us to do to our wives, children and others around us. God has designed us as husbands to be wise and not foolish men.

Today, let us look at the blessings that come when we obey God as we relate with our flock. In verse 33 of our main text today, the Scriptures say but whoso hearkeneth unto me SHALL DWELL SAFELY AND SHALL BE QUIET FROM FEAR OF EVIL. (Pro.1:33).  As the head of the family, when you obey God by doing those things that pleases God to your wife and children, you shall dwell in safety and be quiet from fear or evil. If you are faithful to your wife, you will not be afraid of who calls you or send you a text message. You will not decode your numbers or caller identification. You will not also be sacred of picking incoming calls into your phone. Infact, you will freely leave your phone around the home. If as the head of the family and you obey God by living a life of purity, you will not be scared of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Sadly, there are many husbands, who have wickedly contracted sexually transmitted disease and infected their innocent wives with them thereby leading to the untimely death of their wives.

When you obey God by teaching your children in the way of the Lord as their mentor and teacher, you will not be afraid of your tomorrow and the future of your children. In Eph.6:4, the word of God says, and ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It is your responsibility to bring your children up in the way of the Lord and not your wife. The success or failure of your children is determined by your willingness to obey God in teaching them.

Also as the head of the family, you have been instructed to do all things decently. This demands that the words that come out of your mouth and the conduct of your life towards your wife and children must be decent as unto God. If you say it doesn’t matter and you abuse your wife and children emotionally and physically, you will not enjoy quietness at home.

Dear husband, has your life become so miserable that you are beginning to lose your mind? Or has your relationship with your wife and children become that of cat and dog, where you don’t see eye to eye? Or has your home become a war zone? I want you to check again. It may just be that you have despised the instructions of God.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

  • Father, help me to know when I disobey You and help me to retrace my steps.
  • Father, deliver me from the power of pride and deafness of the spirit.
  • Father, by the power in the blood, nullify every power of the spirit of the air of disobedience.

FAITH CONFESSION

I walk in the blessings of obedience to God’s instructions because I desire to be a godly husband to my wife and children in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
