Bible Texts: Matt.20:26-29, Rom.8:17, Jn.10:15, 1Cor.2:16, 2Cor.5:20, Jn.3:16, Gal.4:19, Eph.5:25, Jn.3:30, Gen.22:18, Jn.10:1-2, 2Tim.2:6
As the husbandman, how much are you willing and ready to give up for the well being of your wife and children? What sacrifices are you prepared to make to become the good and godly man, husband and father? These are important questions you and I must ask ourselves as we lead because the times we are in, many husbandmen have become more self-centered rather than Christ-centered.
So, today, I want us to consider the example of Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman, who sacrificed His convenience and everything to restore mankind back to the path of fellowship with God, the Father. I pray that you will learn a lesson from Jesus’s example and live it out for the good of your wife, children and yourself as the ultimate beneficiary (2Tim.2:6)
But it shall not be so among you but whosoever will be great among you, let him be you minister. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. Even so as the Son of man came not be ministered unto, BUT TO MINISTER, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY (Matt.20:26-28)
Jesus Christ paid the price so others can be free and be established. Jesus Christ left His comfort zone in heaven to earth for the good of mankind. And when He came, He said, “even so the Son of man came to minister and to give his life a ransom”.
As the husbandman, you are a joint heir with Jesus Christ (Rom.8:17). You have the mind of Christ and you have the capacity to make important sacrifices in order for your life to reflect the true nature of Christ in words, works and deeds and nurture your wife and children in the way and admonition of the Lord. God wants you to put your life on the line for them like He did for mankind (Jn.3:16).
You must always give the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical well being of your wife and children first place in your life, even as you also deny yourself the attraction of sin and ungodliness that offers temporary benefits for the sake of godly peace, joy in the Holy Ghost and eternal life.
Like Jesus Christ, God wants you to give your best to your wife and children because you have the mind of Christ.
Praise be unto Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
