Bible Texts: Jos.24:15, Acts 1:1, Matt.5:14-16, Ps.23:1, 1Tim.3:1-5, Jn.5:39, Rom.12:21, Eph.5:25-29, 2Tim.2:15, 2Cor.5:17, Jos.1:6-8, Ps.1:1-3, Eph.6:4
The covenant responsibility of the husbandman is to lead himself, his wife and his children to serve the true God, Jesus Christ. It is the greatest legacy he can leave behind. Today, let us consider a husbandman who led himself and his house to serve the Lord. His name is Joshua.
So honour the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshipped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord alone. But if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve…….BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. The people replied, we would never forsake the Lord and worship other goods (Jos.24:14-16) NLT
Joshua said that as for him and his house, they will serve the Lord. God wants you to lead the way in the things of God. God wants you to provide spiritual leadership at home, just as Joshua did. God wants you to be the arrowhead that will influence your wife and children for good and righteous works (Matt.5:14-16, Acts 1:1, 1Tim.3:1-5).
But for you to lead your life and the lives of your wife and children in following Jesus Christ, you must have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, by giving your life to Jesus Christ and accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour (Jn.3:7, 2Cor.5:17). This is because you cannot lead your wife and children to serve someone you don’t even know.
You must also be an example of someone who is following Jesus Christ in truth, in spirit, and in conduct. Until you have learnt to serve Jesus Christ wholeheartedly, you cannot demand the same level of service from your wife and children (Matt.5:14-16).
God has handed over to you the leadership of your home. God has handed to you His resources (your wife and your children). God wants you to be a true reflection of Jesus Christ. God demands that you lead the way from the front in spiritual instructions, guidance, information, formation and direction (Deut.6:1,6-7, Num.6:22-27, 1Tim.3:1-7, Eph.6:4).
Hallelujah!
