THE CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU

Bible Texts: Ps.133:1-3, Ps.26:2, 1Cor.11:28, Heb.8:5

I want to challenge every husbandman to prayerfully relate to these questions and compare with their expectations.

I desire a good and godly wife, who honours and respect me? I desire a responsible mother to my children? I desire a wife who respects my parents and is hospitable to my friends and family members? I want a wife who is industrious, prudent and wise? I desire children that are respectful and obedient? I long for children that are full of wisdom and walk in the fear of God? I desire that my children will excel in their academics as well as in their social life?

The answers to the above questions for the husbandman are in the affirmative. But these expectations that you desire for and from your wife and children must begin with you. In Ps.133:2, the Scripture says this.

Anointing flows from the head of Aaron to his beard and to his skirts… (Ps.133:2)

The influence flows from you to your wife and children, and not the other way round.

Now, let me mention some of the changes that you want to see in your wife and children that must start with you. Honour! If you want them to honour you and your parents, honour them and their parents. Submission! If you want them to submit to you in all things, they must and should see you submit to authorities. Right words! If you want your wife and children to speak graceful words, then they must see and hear you speak graceful words to them and others. Why is this so?

It is because the Bible says so. In Gen.8:22, the word of God tells us that as the earth remaineth seed time and harvest shall not cease. And Paul the Apostle reaffirmed this truth when he declares that whatever a man sows that is what he will reap. Jesus Christ who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman taught on this truth. In Lk.6:38 the word of God has this to say.

Give and it shall be given unto you, pressed down shaken together shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again (Lk.6:38).

So, the next time you want your wife and children to be respectful, truthful, sincere, loyal and become so much more of those godly characteristics, be the example to them.

Hallelujah!
