Bible Texts: Matt.16:21, Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17, Jn.14:6, 2Tim.2:15, Jn.5:39, Jn.14:26, Jer.33:3, Jn.8:32, Jn.15:5, Philp.2:13, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:29
The husbandman’s greatest influence as the good and godly man, husband and father is to lead by example. And that is the focus today.
From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed and be raised again on the third day (Matt.16:21)
Jesus Christ who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman showed his disciples the way, the truth and the life. He provided guidance for them. This is what God expects you to do as the husbandman and shepherd to your wife and children. God wants you to lead them by your example in the word of God. It is your pathway to your great influence.
But how do I lead the way and become a great influence as the leader in my home?
Firstly, you must be the example of what you want your wife and children to be because you cannot give what you don’t have (Acts 3:6). And you can only lead the way if you have a relationship with the Person who knows the way, Jesus Christ (Jn.3:3-7, Jn.14:6, 2Cor.5:17). The more you know Him, the more He reveals Himself, His truth and His ways of life to you. And this is how you become empowered to lead your wife and children the ways to go and the truth to know.
And to be constant and consistent in your good and godly leadership, you must love the word of God with all your heart, might and soul and give attention to studying the word of God with delight. You must also engage the weapon of prayer and fasting for empowerment to be the example and lead the way (Mk.9:29, Jn.5:39, Lk.18:1, Jn.14:26, Jn.8:32, Gal.4:19, 2Tim.2:15).
As the husbandman, God wants to do so much with your life, in your life and through your life. God wants you to be a good and godly influence in the lives of your wife and children. God wants you to represent Him well as the good and godly man, husband and father.
Therefore, you must make yourself available for God, through Jesus Christ and the Person of the Holy Spirit, to teach you the way, the truth and the life so that you can become the good and godly leader.
Hallelujah!
