As the husband and the head of your family, it is very important for you to understand that the success of your leadership is not found in your status, position or age. It is found in the level of service you have rendered to your wife and children. That is what Jesus Christ, the perfect example of how every husband is commanded to behave, taught us.
Leave a CommentAs a husband who wants to live a good and godly life, you cannot succeed by your skill, wisdom or strength. According to Scriptures, “it is not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God†Zech.4:6. It is the Spirit of God that energizes you to look your wife in the eye after she has offended you and tell her she is valuable and you still love her. It is the same Spirit that empowers you to reject any offer from a strange woman to commit adultery.
Leave a CommentIf you are asked how you could define a good and godly husband, what attributes would you use? And can you separate the head of the family from his manners or better still, his attitude? These questions are very important for you and I to answer if we must be profitable husbands to our wives. It is even more relevant in the times we are in, when husbands have begun to lose their true identity
Leave a CommentAre you aware that your lips have a door the same way there is a door to the sheepfold? Well, the word of God in Ps.141 tells you and I so. A lot of the times your wife and children would make you angry by their conduct and bad attitude. Sometimes, they disrespect you, become disloyal or outrightly rebel against you. It is a daily conflict that every shepherd would contend with as he leads his sheep. So, if you do not guard your lips, you may utter words that will destroy the foundation of your wife and children.

And it shall come to pass that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to breakdown and to throw down and to destroy and to afflict.
Leave a CommentGod wants you to be more interested in the well-being of your wife and children than even yourself. God wants you to break through the barriers to reach your sheep. God wants you to act like the good shepherd would to his sheep. God wants you to put your life on the line for your flock.
Leave a CommentDo you know that as a good and godly husband, one of the baptisms of Jesus Christ you receive is the baptism of compassion? Jesus Christ was full of compassion and mercy towards all that He came in contact with. He worked hard to be a better shepherd to His sheep. And this inspired Him to go about doing good and delivering all that were oppressed of the devil. He met two blind men and He asked them what do you want me to do for you? They responded, “we want to seeâ€. He was moved with compassion at their pain and discomfort and He restored their sight. This is the attitude God wants you to have towards your wife and children.

It is possible for your wayward son or daughter to be reconciled with you. It is possible for peace to return to your sheepfold. It is possible for you to love your wife again. It is possible for you to get back your job that you lost.
Leave a CommentGod doesn’t want you to justify why you cheated on your wife. He also doesn’t want you to give reasons why you fall into sin. God wants you to be honest with Him. He wants you to walk to Him the same way a child will walk back to his or her earthly father, when they are wrong. Jesus loves you so much and He wants you to be useful and profitable to your wife, children and the world. He doesn’t hate you but He dislikes your sins. Return today; and I say return to Him today.
Leave a CommentThe day you decided to leave your father and mother and be joined to your wife is the day you are baptized into the same responsibilities that Jesus Christ was baptized into. Jesus Christ is the perfect example of a good and godly husband. He represents the nature and character of a man, husband and father. He remains the best model for every husband.
