Bible Texts: Gen.2:14-25, Ps.1:3, Acts 1:1, Acts.10:36, 1Tim.5:8, 2Tim.2:6, Matt.5:14-16, Deut.6:5, Jn.5:17, Jn.10:10, Gal.4:19
Praise God! Today, we are rounding up the series we started three days ago. I have no doubt that you are now walking in the consciousness of your purpose as the good and godly husbandman. I pray in the name of Jesus, that working and walking to fulfill God’s purpose for your life as the good shepherd over your wife and children shall become your reality. Amen.
Now, what is the third thing God wants you to do? After God wants you to remain in His presence and enjoy communion and fellowship, and after He wants you to dress your wife and children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord untill they become the perfect sheep you have in your head, God then wants you to protect them from satan, sin and the world.
And God put the man He hath created in the Garden to dress it and to keep it (Gen.2:15). From this Bible passage, after God had made the man, He brought him to the Garden and gave him one clear instruction. God said, “keep it”. God handed over the Garden and everything in the garden to the man to protect and preserve because when God made the man, He empowered Him to have dominion over all. And God blessed him and God said to him to subdue and have dominion over all……(Gen.1:28).
That is exactly the purpose God wants you to fulfill when He gave you a wife, children and home. Your home represents God’s garden on earth and your wife and children are the people in the garden. The same assignment God gave the husbandman, Adam, in Genesis chapter 2 and verse 15 is what He wants you to do. God wants you to protect your wife and children from any man, woman, negative influence, harassment, intimidation, abuse, attack and insults. Jesus Christ who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman had this testimony. My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HANDS. My Father, which gave them to me is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand (Jn.10:27-29).
Satan, sin and the world has one mission which you must not allow in your relationship with your wife, children and in your home. The thief cometh not but to steal, to kill and destroy…(Jn.10:10). Satan, sin and the world want to steal your wife from you. They want to destroy your children. They want to mess up your home. Don’t give them the chance. Rise up and protect the treasures God has given to you.
But how do protect my wife, children and home from satan, sin and the world? Pray! I mean intensify your pray altar both for them and against the forces of hell. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you (Gal.4:19). Secondly, continue to declare in faith over your wife and children the perfect will of God for them. With the heart man believeth and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Rom.10:10). Finally, command the devil and his agents out of your home and the lives of your wife and children. Exercise your authourity in Christ.
God bless you!
