Bible Texts: 1Cor.11:1-6, Jn.17:11-12, Rom.12:1-3, Eph.6:1, 1Pet.1:25, Jn.15:1-5, Rom.12:21, Acts 1:1, Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13
We give God thanks for bringing us to the last day in the month of February 2025. I have no doubt that God has been faithful to each and everyone. To God alone be all the glory and praise.
There is an important truth from the word of God that you and I must accept as we lead our wife and children. And this truth is that just as we are ordained by God to be the head of our wife and children, we also have a head.
Now who is this head?
The head of Christ is God and the head of the man is Christ and the head of the wife is the husband (1Cor.11:1-6)
The word of God in 1st Corinthians chapter 11 gives different levels of authority. It says God is the Head of Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ is the Head of the man, that is you; and you are the head of your wife. This means that you have a leader, Jesus Christ. The same way you expect respect and honour from your wife as her head is the same way you must give honour and respect to the words, commandments and instructions of Jesus Christ. The same way you expect your wife and children to follow your leadership is the same way you are expected to follow after the leadership of Jesus Christ
Accepting this truth that you have a leader will help you to be humble in heart and be teachable. It will also help you to receive counsel, admonition and corrections with joy and gladness of heart.
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee….(Jn.17:11-12)
See how Jesus Christ submitted wholly to the Lordship of God, the Father. He said, “I come to thee-God”. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, One with God, solemnly submitting to the lordship and authority of God in the fashion of a son and father relationship. This is the same attitude you must demonstrate in your relationship with your Master, Jesus Christ, because this is what influences your wife and children to willingly come under your own good and godly authority by listening to you and obeying your instructions.
God wants you to enjoy your leadership as the husbandman at home and as you lead your wife and children. He wants you to lead a good and godly life. He wants your wife and children to submit, and obey you in all good and godly things. But you have a responsibility to first learn to submit your own life, your will and emotions to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, as we come to the end of the month, I want you to make a fresh commitment that going forward, you will bring yourself under the authority of Jesus Christ in your thoughts, will, emotion and action. And this seed of total submission to Jesus Christ will bear great fruits of submission from your wife and children to your good and godly authority willingly and joyfully.
Hallelujah!
