Honourable Inside

Main Scriptures: Rev.5:10-12

More Scriptures: Deut.7:17, Ex.28:3, Lev.16:32

Sometime in the month of March, 2018, I travelled to Lagos and chose to do that by road. On my way back from Lagos, we had a stopover in a place in Ondo state. While there, I saw a large billboard with this inscription, “Honourable Inside”. And immediately, my Teacher, the Person of the Holy Spirit began to teach me along this line and I want to share it with you. There is honour in every husband. When God created the office of the husbandman, He did it so that you can live an honourable life to yourself, your wife and children and the world. So, being a husband is not a burden but a blessing. It is not designed to make you feel ashamed but to be a platform to demonstrate the glory of God in your sheepfold. In Rev.5, the word of God says that God has made you king and priest unto Himself that you may reign in life. Don’t let the present challenges you are having with your wife and children depress you or make you regret ever being a husband and a father.

But how do I access the honour that is attached to my person and office of the husbandman? The first action plan is to receive Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Personal Saviour. That is the starting point. When He becomes your Lord, He reveals to you deep things that you need to know about your personality. And because knowledge is power, it means that the more He shows you the better your outlook and confidence. The second step is to believe that you are what He says you are. God cannot empower you beyond the level of trust you have placed on Him. If you believe what He says about you as a good shepherd and have the faith to walk in that light, then you can access the honour. If you shalt say in thine heart, these nations are more than I, how can I dispossess them? Deut 7:17. Jesus Christ, who is the perfect example of a good and godly husband said, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believe…

Therefore, the next time the unpleasant circumstances of life try to tell you that you are not fit and proper to lead your wife and children, refuse to accept the verdict. Fight for what is yours in Jesus Christ- honour, dignity and respect. Don’t settle for less. You are a type of Christ in your sheepfold. You have the mind of Christ. Exercise it fully to the glory and praise of Jesus Christ.
