Bible Texts: Gen.2:15-18, Matt.5:14-16, Is.40:11, Jn.10:14, Col.3:19, Heb.13:20, Eph.5:25, 1Tim.3:1-4, 1Tim.5:8, Eph.6:4, Ps.23:1, Gal.4:19, Rom.12:21, Pro.13:22
Being the husbandman is both a privilege and a call to enormous responsibilities. A privilege is special rights or advantages available only to a particular person by reason of the position they occupy. So, when you become the husbandman, you enjoy the privilege of leading the most important unit of the society-the family. As the husbandman, you enjoy the privilege of honour, submission, loyalty, prestige and respect from your wife, children and the society.
Also as the husbandman, you have a much greater responsibility just as you have privileges. And these responsibilities cover your position as the man, husband and father. God wants you love your wife as Christ has loved the church and gave Himself to it (Eph.5:25, Jn.10:10, Col.3:19, 1Tim.3:2). God also wants you to train, nurture and motivate your children in the way and counsel of godliness and righteousness (Deut.6:6-9, Eph.6:4, 1Tim.3:4). God wants you to protect your wife and children from the assault of satan, sin and the world (Jn.10:29). God wants you to provide for their spiritual, material, emotional, physical and financial needs (1Tim.5:8, Ps.23:1). God wants you to teach them His word and be the example of the word (Matt.5:14-16, 2Tim.2:24). God wants you to build godly inheritance for them (Pro.13:22).
When you exercise the privilege which comes with the office of the husbandman and you take up the responsibilities attached to the office and do them faithfully and committedly, you enjoy these blessings.
Firstly, you develop into a matured man, husband and father. Secondly, you move very quickly from being a child to sonship. Thirdly, you become spiritual awake, seeking God in prayers and searching His word to know more about His will for your life, what to do, how to do it and when to do it.
There is so much that God commands you to do as the man, husband and father. You must embrace these responsibilities and do them joyfully and faithfully. It is your obedience to doing all that God commands you to do that makes you the good and godly husbandman.
