Bible Texts: Acts 1:1, 1Cor.11:3, Gen.3:16, Eph.5:23, 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
As the husbandman, God wants you to lead your wife and your children like Christ so you can influence them for His glory. But how did Jesus Christ lead and influence His disciples for God’s glory?
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach (Acts 1:1)
Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman, led by teaching and doing what He taught. Not only did He teach the people, including His disciples, He also practiced what He taught them. That is the key to lasting influence, and that is what God demands from you as you lead your wife and your children.
As the good and godly husbandman, you must recognize that your wife and your children are motivated to do what they see you teach and practice. Your life’s conduct is more powerful than a lifetime of sermons.
You must also understand that God has called you to influence your wife and your children unto goodness and godliness (Matt.5:14-16, Eph.6:4, Col.3:19). So, the best way you can influence them to listen to you, obey you and do as you instruct them is for you to be a practitioner of what you teach, and a teacher of what you do. That is what makes you the good and godly husbandman.
Hallelujah!
