Bible Texts: 1Pet.5:1-4, Acts 1:1, Heb.12:1-3, Matt.6:22, Mk.9:29, Lk.6:45, Jn.2:5, Jas.4:7, 2Cor.5:14, Col.3:19, Eph.6:4, Jn.3:16
Yesterday, we understood from Scriptures that we need to guard what goes into our minds because what goes into our minds defines our conduct, actions, and responses as the husbandman.
But what is the covenant role of the husbandman in his home?
The answer is found in the first book of Peter chapter 5.
The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed. Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion, but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly, not as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock, and when the Christ Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away (1Pet.5:1-4)
From the Bible passage in 1st Peter chapter 5 and verses 1 through to 4, the roles of the husbandman are clearly defined.
Firstly, the husbandman is a shepherd to his wife and children as unto the Lord.
Shepherd the flock which is among you (1Pet.5:2)
You are a servant, and you are to serve the best interests of your wife and children.
Secondly, you are to build your wife and children into all that God wants them to be, and you do this by investing your resources, time, money, skill, experience, knowledge, and physical strength in them.
Serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly (1Pet.5:3a)
Finally, you are to become a role model for your wife and children after the nature of Jesus Christ.
Not as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock (1Pet.5:3b)
As the husbandman, you are the leader. And your leadership influence is powerful enough to influence your life and the lives of your wife and children unto goodness and godliness. But your commitment to pursuing and doing what God commands you to do as the man, husband, and father is what profits you as the husbandman. Therefore, be the good and godly leader indeed by good and godly works.
Hallelujah!
