I welcome you to the new month of June 2023. It is the last month of the second quarter of the year of the word, where our lives shall be ruled by the word of God. I have no doubt that you have been empowered, inspired and motivated by the teaching of the word of God from this daily devotional since the year began. I pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, that you and I shall be living the life of the good and godly husbandman, bring glory to God. Amen.

Jesus Christ who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman showed His disciples the way.

From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed and be raised again on the third day (Matt.16:21).

As the husbandman, it is important for you to know that you are in the lives of your wife and children to lead them and give them the road map of life. Jesus Christ did the same thing to His disciples. He did not want them to be worried about the future. So, He showed them where He will go and what will happen. And because He showed them the plan, they were not confused following Him.

Your role as the husbandman must be to use the word of God as your compass to empower your wife and children to do what is right and pleasing to God, inspire them to attain the highest goals and plans of God for their lives and to motivate them to continue to press on until they are established in Christ.

How do I show my wife and children, who are my disciples, the way to go?

For you to be able to show them the way to go, you must first know the way. And you can only know the way when you have a relationship with the Person who knows the way, Jesus Christ (Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17). The word of God says this about Jesus Christ. I am the way, the truth and the life (Jn.14:6). The more you know Him, the more He reveals Himself, His truth and the ways of life to you. And whatever He shows that you also show your wife and children, will profit them.

Secondly, you must give attention to studying the word of God to discover the way, the truth and the life of God for living (2Tim.2:15). Search the scriptures for in it ye think, ye have eternal life (Jn.5:39). Thirdly, pray to God to show you the way and truth by His Spirit (Jn.14:26). The Word of God says this. Call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that thou knowest not (Jer.33:3). The more of God’s word you have in your spirit man, the better your ability to lead in truth (Jn.8:32).

As the husbandman, God wants you to do so much for your life, wife and children. He wants you to represent Him well as you lead them. And He is ever ready to help you become the good and godly husbandman and fulfill His good pleasure in your sheepfold (Jn.15:5, Philp.2:13).
