THE LAW OF REPETITION (24)

Spread the love

Fear thou not, for I am with thee ……..yea I will help thee…For I thy Lord will hold your thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not, I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm of Jacob, and ye men of Israel, I will help thee (Is.41:10-14).

Rejoice, again I say rejoice (Philp.4:4)

BEWARE, LEST ANY SPOIL YOU!

Main Scriptures: Col.2:6-8

More Scriptures: Lk.21:8, Matt.24:4, 2Thess.2:3

As husbands, we just think that we cannot be influenced negatively. Sometimes, even as believers, we seem to manifest worldly tendencies, without knowing. But the word of God makes it very clear that any husband who is not vigilant can be influenced negatively to believe the traditions of men rather the truth of Scriptures.

In Colossians chapter 2 and verse 8, the word of God says,

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ (Col.2:8).

As the head of your family, your life and conversation and conduct must be guided by the eternal principles of the word of God. Yes, the instructions from the Bible for you as a husband may not and will always not make any sense, but it contains in it life everlasting. Infact, when you do what the word of God says that you should do, it makes you wise.

Take for instance as a husband, the Bible tells you to follow peace with all men….(Heb.12:14). And yet you are at arms-length with your siblings. This is not the way of God. It is the tradition of men. Whatever you do that defeats the will of God for your life as a husband and leader must be rejected.

Now where does this influence come from? It may come from your wife, children or even friends, families and relations. You are the head of the family, and the man God has placed to be in charge of your family kingdom. If what you are asked to do is not after Christ, firmly say NO.

But how do I escape unrighteous influences?

Firstly, you must let your wife and children and those around you know that you stand for JESUS and JESUS alone. His ways are your ways and His thoughts are your thoughts. Never allow your emotions to make you come down low to the rudiments of the world.

Secondly, you must deliberately ask the Holy Spirit to anoint you with the Spirit of boldness, courage and faith. In Joshua chapter 1 and verse 6, the Scripture says, be strong and of a good courage………………(Jos.1:6). And in verse nine (9) of Joshua chapter 1, the Bible also said, Be strong and of a good courage…..(Jos.1:9). As the leader in your home, you must have the strength to draw the lines between what is acceptable and what is not, on the basis of the word of God.

Being a good and godly husband is not a function of age or background. It is for you to be in charge, profitably and productively (Gen.1:26-29).

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

  • Father, in the name of Jesus, empower me to be steadfast in doing what is right at all times.
  • Father, in the name of Jesus, deliver me from the deceitfulness of the world.
  • Father, in the name of Jesus, fill me with the Spirit of faith, boldness and courage that I may do Your will.

FAITH CONFESSION

I refuse ungodly influences and stand for the truth of the word of God because that is what makes me a good and godly husband in Jesus name. Amen.
