Create The Environment

Main Scriptures: Proverbs 14:1-2

More Scriptures: Eph.5:25, Eph.6:4, Num.6:22

Every wise woman buildeth her house but a foolish plucketh it down with her hands (Pro.14:1)

In most meetings that I attend on marriage, the wife is always advised to learn how to be patient and manage her husband. It seems like the wife is to take personal responsibility for the safety and sustenance of the family fold. She is asked to pray, fast and trust God for a positive change in the life of her husband. But while I was in one of such meetings some weeks ago, the Spirit inspired in my heart the truth. He said, “it is the kind of environment that the husband creates for his wife that determines the outcomes that he gets from her”. As the head of your family and the spiritual leader in your sheepfold, it is important for you to realize that you are the determinant in the lives of your flock. You can influence the outcomes of their lives by the environment that you create for them. Jesus Christ, the perfect example of a good and godly husband created an environment of love, team work, discipline and patience while He led the twelve (12) disciples. The results were inspiring. Peter and the other disciples could cast out devils, prayed together and partook of the communion table.

The word of God says that he who wants to make friends must first be friendly.  So, if you want your flock to respect and honour you, then you have to provide the environment for them. For instance, you cannot disrespect and dishonor your flock and expect them to honour you. You cannot abuse your flock and think they will celebrate you. Before God made you in Gen.1:26-28, He had to create the environment that will make the man function well. It took Him six days to create the environment (Gen.1:1-20). And by Gen.2:14, the Scripture says, and took the man and put him in the Garden to dress and to keep. Do you want to be respected, honoured and worshipped by your wife and children? Then plant the seeds of respect, honour and peace in your family fold and nurture it unto maturity. You have the power to create the environment that will make your flock to soar like eagles and respect you as the head of the family. Act now!
