A lot of the time as heads of our families, we seem to be at a loss as to how to overcome the challenges that confront us. Now these challenges come from within and from without and it cuts across spiritual, emotional, mental and physical aspects of life. Some husbands have given up hope and surrendered to the pressures of the challenges. And sadly, many more are merely existing and looking defeated in every way possible.
Leave a CommentYou must understand that as the head of the family, you have the power to subdue every force of hell that may want to interrupt the progress and peace of your sheepfold. Be it divorce, unforgiveness, hatred, bitterness, sickness, or even death, they cannot gain access into the lives of your flock and your family-fold unless you permit it.
Leave a CommentAs the head of the family, it is important for you to know that your wife and children are gifts from God. And because God gives good gifts, then your wife and children are in your life to do you good and not evil.
Leave a CommentAs the head of the family, you cannot know enough about your wife and children. The knowledge about your wife when you both just got married would need to be enhanced by the time she starts bearing children for you.
Leave a CommentAs the head of the family, your wife and children will not celebrate you beyond what they can see your life produce. You don’t expect your children to celebrate you as their mentor when it is their mother who has nurtured them in the way and admonition of the Lord. I want you to know this truth. No matter how much you try to cover up your irresponsibility, it will be exposed sooner or later. It is just a matter of time. So, as the priest over your flock, you must continue to work hard to elevate your status by the results you produce.
Leave a CommentOne fundamental area God wants you to prosper in as the head of the family is in your finances. God hates seeing you poor or begging or depending on people for hand-outs to meet your covenant demands in your family fold.
Leave a CommentAs the head of the family, it is important for you to have a winning mentality as you lead your flock. You must be conscious that the office of the husbandman is a race. So, God wants you to run to win and not lose. If you notice that you are losing your place in any area of your influence in the lives of your wife and children, fight to regain it.
Leave a CommentGod wants to enrich your wife and children through you. You must understand that the reason why God made you the head of the family and give you a wife and children to lead is so that the anointing that enriches lives can flow to them through you (Ps.133:2).
Leave a CommentAs the husband and the head of your family kingdom, you must understand that you are dead to your old life of sin – unforgiveness, lovelessness, envy, bitterness and many more. You are no longer subject to the influences of satan and the world. Like the old song says, “ the things I used to do I do them no moreâ€. You cannot claim to be a good and godly husband and yet find it difficult to forgive your wife or children. You cannot tell people that you are a godly husband when you keep malice or bitterness with your flock.
Leave a CommentAs 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.
