As a husband and the spiritual authority in your family-fold, it is dangerous to have alternatives to your disrespectful and rebellious flock. Alcohol is not the alternative to a nagging and unappreciative wife. Having a second wife or concubine is not either. Addiction to pornography and gambling is also not an alternative. Spending more time in church activities is not an alternative.
Leave a CommentThe Scripture in Rom.4:17 is provided by the Person of the Holy Spirit to encourage every husband not to give up on their flock. As a husband, you are the seed of Abraham. And as the seed of Abraham, you have the same covenant rights as he had. Despite all the challenges that came his way, he did not give up
Leave a CommentThe word of God declares your words as the sacrifice of your lips. And because every sacrifice triggers rewards, the words you speak in the direction of your wife and children will bear fruits. The fruits may be positive or negative. This is why you must be very careful what you say to your flock at all times. Whatever name you call them, that is who they will turn out to be.
Leave a CommentOne of the kingdom mysteries to getting our prayers answered is hidden in the first book of Peter chapter 3 and verses seven (7) to eight (8). And if any husband will align himself to this truth, he will enjoy the fruits of being the head of the family, joyfully. As the head of your family, it is important to recognise that being the husbandman is quite challenging and so you will need the help of God to overcome them.
Leave a CommentHusbands, how rich and healthy are your words toward your wife, children and people around you? This is so important because as the head of the family, the words you speak in their direction can either lift them up or destroy them.
Leave a CommentDo you realize that it requires diligence and commitment for you to function maximally as a good and godly husband? The truth is that being a good shepherd to your flock is hard work. It is not cheap talk. It is a call to assuming greater responsibility. It is a call to greater commitments. It is a call to a life of sacrifice and inconvenience. In fact, there is no future for a lazy husband.
Leave a CommentAs the head of the family, you must also understand that your adversary, satan, is crafty. He wants to disgrace you. He hates you and the truth that you are a good and godly shepherd. So, you must be watchful.
Leave a CommentFor any husband who desires to continue to be relevant to his flock must of necessity engage the weapon of prayers and intercession. This is because the prayer altar is the platform God has provided for you and I to connect to the greatness of His power.
Leave a CommentWhen God created you, He had configured you to be full and whole in all things- spirit, soul and body. That was the testimony of Job. But what made this husband a complete personality? He was a shepherd who had integrity. He feared God and stayed away from sin and its attractions. This is the kind of life that God wants you to live for the sakes of your wife and children.
