Bible Texts: Matt.16:21, Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17, Jn.14:6, 2Tim.2:15, Jn.5:39, Jn.14:26, Jer.33:3, Jn.8:32, Jn.15:5, Philp.2:13, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:29
There is an important position God wants you to take as the husbandman. God wants you to lead your wife and children from the front just as Jesus Christ did when He walked on earth.
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)
Jesus Christ, who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman, showed his disciples the way, the truth, and the life. He provided guidance for them. And this assured the disciples of a great and fulfilled future as they followed Jesus Christ. This is what God expects you to do as the husbandman and shepherd to His sheep (wife and children) in your custody. God wants you to lead them, and this you must do by using the word of God as your compass.
But 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 (Acts 3:6). And you can only see 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 His ways of life to you. And this is how you become empowered to show your sheep the ways to go and the truth to know.
Secondly, you must give attention to studying the word of God to discover the way, the truth and the life of God and engage the weapon of prayer to be established in the way (Jn.5:39, Lk.18:1, Jn.14:26, Gal.4:19, 2Tim.2:15). The more of God’s word you have in your spirit man, the better your ability to lead in truth (Jn.8:32).
Therefore, you must make yourself available for God, through Jesus Christ and the Person of the Holy Spirit, to teach you the way, the truth and the life so that you can become the good and godly leader.
Hallelujah!
