Yesterday, we began to look into the Word of God to find out how the husband should love his wife, and we discovered that he is to love his wife the same way Jesus Christ loves His bride (the church).
Now, what are the evidences or fruits of the husband’s love for his wife (Matt.7:16)?
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Gal.5:22-24)
Your love for your wife is evidenced in living with her joyfully, being patient with her, being kind to her, being good to her, being faithful to her, being gentle with her and exercising self-control over your emotions.
But for you to bear these fruits of Christ love, you must first have the seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control planted firmly in your heart by the Word of God. What this means is that you must ask the Holy Spirit to shed the seeds abundantly in your heart and empower you to bear the fruits. That is where the journey begins.
For the love of Christ is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Rom.5:5)
The Person of the Holy Spirit is the carrier of the seeds that produce spiritual fruits that you require to justify your calling as the good and godly husbandman. He is also the Person who empowers you to produce these fruits in your life as you as the man, husband and father (Jn.14:26, Jn.15:5, Jn.16:24). Therefore, reach out to the Person of the Holy Spirit and ask Him to fill you with the nature of Jesus Christ and help you to display the Christ-like nature in all that you do, say, respond or react to. He is always willing to help if you are ready to come to Him, honestly and willingly.
There are three significant responsibilities you must be committed to if you want to continue bearing the fruits of the spirit in the pattern of Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman.
The first is that you must have and keep sustaining a quality relationship with Jesus Christ by being born again and renewing your mind by the word of God as a lifestyle (Jn.3:5-7, 2Cor.5:17). The second is for you to continue to pray for the spiritual seeds to be firmly planted in your heart (Matt.7:7, Philp.2:13). The third is for you to keep engaging the forces of prayer and fasting for empowerment so you can bear the fruits of the spirit in full measure (Mk.9:29, Jn.15:5, Gal.4:19).
You are both a seed and a fruit-bearing agent. You have the love of Christ spread abroad in your heart, and it is this love that God wants you to give to your wife, because that is what makes you the good and godly husbandman.
Hallelujah!
