Bible Texts: Jn.10:8-10, Hos.4:6, Jn.10:5, Jn.10:16, Lk.5:4-8, Mk.4:37-39, Gen.24:1-88, Gen.25:20-21
The good and godly husbandman is an advantage to his wife and his children, just like Jesus Christ was the advantage to Peter when he toiled all day and caught nothing (Lk.5:4-8). Jesus was also the advantage the disciples had when the boat in which they were travelling was hit with a raging storm (Mk.4:37-39). Abraham was an advantage for his son, Isaac (Gen.24:1-8). When Isaac was due to have a wife, Abraham interceded for him. Isaac was the advantage that Rebekah had when the demonic power of barrenness showed up. Isaac interceded for his wife, and God heard his prayer and empowered his wife to conceive and bear Jacob and Esau (Gen.25:20-21).
God has entrusted the lives of your wife and your children to you so you can be the shoulder on which they should ride. You are ordained to be the advantage for them.
If you must be the good and godly advantage to your wife and your children, you must walk in the consciousness of who God says you are. This is because the knowledge of who you are in Christ empowers your dominion and leadership, not satan (Hos.4:6).
You must not only walk in the consciousness of your status in Christ, but you must walk by faith by your works, actions and conduct. The Word of God says that faith without works is vain. Information gathering is not enough. Knowing that you are the advantage is not sufficient. It is doing the work as a person that makes you the advantage, and gives value to your leadership. So, make your advantage count positively in the lives of your wife and children.
Hallelujah!
