EARN THEIR HONOUR, RESPECT AND SUBMISSION!

Bible Texts: Lk.6:37-38, Gen.8:22, 1Pet.3:7, Ps.111:3, 1Cor.13:4-8, Eph.6:4, Col.3:19, Gen.17:1, Rom.12:21, Ps.23:1-6, Eph.5:25, 1Tim.5:7-8, 2Tim.2:15, Deut.6:6-10, Num.6:22-24

No husbandman has the right to demand respect, honour, and submission from his wife and children if he has not learnt how to first respect, honour, and submit to God, and then to them. This is because honour, respect, and submission are earned and not demanded.

Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down and shaken over shall men also give unto you (Lk.6:38)

Your wife and children shall give you the measure of respect you give to them. They will give you the measure of honour you give to them, and even much more. As it is written in the word of God, ‘as the earth remains seed time and harvest shall not cease (Gen.8:22).’

As the head of your family, you must always invest good and quality seeds into the lives of your wife and your children, and in every circumstance. You must also remember that you are a seed-bearing agent and a seed-planting agent. Everything about you is a seed. Your words, your time, your energy, your finances, your experience. Everything!

Now, these are the ways you can earn honour, respect, and submission from your wife and children.

You must mind what comes out of your mouth towards them. You must not talk down on your wife or children when they make mistakes or do what is wrong. You must not abuse them and make them feel they have committed the worst crime ever in their lives.

You must learn to listen to their suggestions by giving them the opportunity to speak to you about what they feel on certain issues. A lot of the times the temptation to want to lord it over your wife and children is there. But you must understand that we all know in part. For we know in part and we prophesy in part (1Cor.13:9). Sometimes what they say may not make any educational sense, but it could trigger a positive action that you need to take to make progress.

As the leader in your family fold, you don’t force your wife and your children to honour and respect you. You simply work and walk your way to earn their respect, honour and submission.

Hallelujah!
