Praise God! Today is the last day in the month of August, 2022.We give God praise for the diverse blessings we have enjoyed all through the month.
Let us continue from where we stopped yesterday.
Watch ye therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house comet at even or at midnight or at the cockcrowing or in the morning. Lest coming suddenly he find sleeping. And what I say unto you I say to unto all, watch (Mk.13:35-37)
Another area where you must also watch over is the quality of relationships that your wife and children keep. Just as you intercede for their spiritual well-being, it is also important for you to guide them in their choice of friends and relationships. Jesus speaking said, I am the good shepherd. One of the attributes of the good shepherd is the ability to guide. That is who you-a guide. You must understand that if anything goes wrong with your wife and children, you will be affected. If it is well with them, it will be well with you and if they are hurt, you will also be hurt. Jesus Christ was moved with compassion when He saw the people without a guide.
As the good and godly husbandman, God wants you to teach and guide your wife and children in the choice of things and people they should allow into their lives. This is because we are product of influences-the things we watch, read and the people we meet. The Bible warns that a bad company corrupts good manners. Don’t forget that your wife and children also bear your name, so it is in your power to help them project your name, positively to the glory of God.
What do you stand to benefit by diligently watching over your wife and children? The first benefit is that you enjoy spiritual alertness. The fire on your altar continues to burn because you are always praying for them (Lk.18:1). Secondly, your wife and children see you as their mentor. They will trust you and this will give you unhindered access to know where they hurt and their struggles. Thirdly, you have joy and enjoy peace round about.
God has ordained you to lead your wife and children in the way and admonition of the Lord. God wants you to represent Him in your home and as you relate with your wife and children. God wants you to enjoy your wife and children because they are fearfully and wonderfully made. You have to cooperate with God through His Son Jesus Christ in prayers, word study, faith and practical action of His Word to make the most of your headship and for the upliftment of your wife and children. That is your heritage as the good and godly man, husband and father.
