Bible Texts: Is.1:19, Num.6:22-26, 2Tim.2:6, Mk.10:16, Ps.139:14, Matt.6:21, 1Tim.6:17, Eph.5:16, Philp.1:19
The greatest disservice you can do to yourself as the husbandman is to curse your wife and children. This is because the people you curse cannot bless you. Your wife and children are not your enemies. They are not against you but for you. They may have their weaknesses but they are not evil. See what God has said about them.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made…(Ps.139:14)
So, today’s teaching is to help you change from cursing your wife and children to blessing them because there is good in them.
If thou be willing and obedient, thou shall eat the good of the land (Is.1:19)
But you must be willing and obey the commandments and instructions of God for you as the good and godly man, husband and father.
So, how do I eat the good of my wife and children?
You must consider them as your treasures. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matt.6:21). You must also accept that God gave them to you for your enjoyment and not a burden. God has given us all things to enjoy (1Tim.6:17). So, with this understanding, you can now dwell on their strength and positive sides rather than their weakness and failures. You must engage the power of intercession to stop the forces of satan, sin and the world from influencing your wife and children. Redeeming the time because the days are evil (Eph.5:16). Finally, you ask for the supply of the Spirit of Christ. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (Philp.1:19). The Spirit of Jesus Christ empowers you to bless and not curse them. The Spirit also helps you to see the good in your wife and children and motivates you to help them.
Now bless them in this wise from Numbers chapter 6 and verses 25 through to 26.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord makes His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace
And as you bless and not curse them, see what the Scripture says about you.
The husbandmen that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits (2Tim.2:6).
