Bible Texts: Jer.35:5-8, Ps.29:3, Gen.1:26-28, Eph.6:4, Jn.10:27, Jn.6:63, 1Tim.3:4a
I have come to discover that every husbandman has a voice that speaks loudest in the lives of his wife and children. And that is what I want you to know today.
I set cups and jugs of wine before them and invited them to drink, but they refused. No, they said, we don’t drink wine, because our ancestor Jehonadab son of Recab gave us this command, you and your descendants must never drink wine. So we obeyed him in all these things. We have never had a drink of wine to this day, nor have our wives, our sons or our daughters (Jer.35:5-6,8) NLT
Although their father had died, yet his voice was loudest in their lives; hence they refused to drink the wine they were offered. As the head of your family and the shepherd over your flock, how powerful is your voice in the lives of your wife and children? Can they hear your voice when they are in the midst of an ungodly environment? How has your voice strengthened them to overcome temptation and satanic offers? These are vital questions you and I must answer if we want to make the most of our office as the husbandman.
You must understand that your sheep are not living in isolation. Whether at their workplaces or school, they relate with people-the good, the bad and the worse. Far away from you, they see and hear what wants to distract them from the path of righteousness. But it is only your voice in their hearts that would give them victory.
In Ps.29:4, the word of God describes how powerful your voice is. The voice of the Lord is powerful, the voice of the Lord is majestic. You represent the God-head in your family fold and you command the same authority that His voice will command (Gen.1:26:28).
But what is in your voice? It is the life you have drawn from the living Word of God and communicated to your wife and children (1Tim.3:4a). This includes sincerity, boldness, faith, faithfulness, courage, purity, obedience, respect and honour, and much more. So, the question before you is, how much Biblical instructions have you given to your wife and children? And how much of such instructions have you obeyed that they can see? I want you to know that your voice will be of no effect in the lives of your wife and children if you don’t live and lead by example. Your voice is spirit and powerful.
Hallelujah!
