Bible Texts: 1Tim.3:1-5, Matt.5:14-16, Col.3:19, 1Cor.13:4-8, Eph.5:25, Deut.6:1-7, Eph.6:4, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:29
The day you assume the role of the husband and leader of your home, there is a template God has provided for you. The template is to help you guide your actions and measure your life as you lead your life, wife, and children as the good and godly husbandman.
What is this template, and what does it contain?
This is a true saying, if a man desire the OFFICE OF A BISHOP, he desireth a GOOD WORK. A bishop then MUST BE BLAMELESS, the HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE, VIGILANT, SOBER, of GOOD BEHAVIOR, GIVEN TO HOSPITALITY, APT TO TEACH, NOT GIVEN TO WINE, NO STRIKER, NOT GREEDY OF FILTHY LUCRE, but PATIENT, NOT A BRAWLER, NOT COVETOUS, ONE THAT RULETH WELL HIS OWN HOUSE, HAVING HIS CHILDREN IN SUBJECTION WITH ALL GRAVITY (1Tim.3:1-5)
The Bible passage above provides the basis for the husbandman to measure himself if he wants to become and be called the good and godly man, husband and father.
The first is that the husbandman must be blameless. This means that the husbandman must be a person of integrity in character and conduct. The good and godly husbandman must be a person of good and godly influence at home and in the marketplace (Matt.5:14-16).
The second is that the husbandman must be a man who is married to only one wife, no mistress, no concubines. This is because from the beginning, when God made the first family, He made them male and female (Gen.2:18-25).
The other virtues are that the husbandman must be vigilant both physically and spiritually, quiet in his heart to receive corrections, and be humble to learn. The husbandman is also expected to be the family’s first teacher, teaching and leading the way unto godliness and righteousness.
Therefore, becoming the husbandman is a privilege, but it also comes with lots of responsibilities and commitments. God’s help is available for you. Go to God through Jesus Christ and enjoy His marvelous help. The office of the husbandman is a blessing and not a curse because God has made it for your good.
Hallelujah!
