THE HEAD


Text : Heb 13:4 ISV 

 *Let marriage be kept honorable in every way, and the marriage bed undefiled. For God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery.* 

Today, we shall be looking at the role of a man as a husband and father.

The man is the Head (the leader) in every normal home. *The agitation for equality in our world today is clearly against the program of God.* 

God is a God of order. 
1 Corinthians 14:40 says *Let all things be done decently and in order.* These all things include your marriage 
 ```But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.``` 1 Corinthians  11:3.

The home organigram is very clear. But the devil knows that once the head is correct,  every other thing will align, that's why he goes about ensuring that men live without direction. 

For any man to play his 'headship' role correctly,  he must be a man who knows and have accepted Christ as his head. This order  cannot be broken if sanctity is to be assured. 

Many husbands cannot give goodly and godly direction to their wives because they are living without the head which is Christ. 

Also,  a man doubles as the husband (head and leader) to his wife and as a father to his children. 

As a father, your primary responsibility is to nurture the children that God has given you.
 *And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.* Ephesians  6:4.

There are enough fathers today who have mastered the art of provoking their children. But God wants you to stand out from among them and be different. 
Bring up the heritage of God in your care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 

Note that you can only give what you have. If you have not been nurtured in the admonition of the Lord,  you can't nurture up others. Allow God to lead your heart so you can be better equipped to lead others.


 *BIBLE READING* : Ephesians 5: 22-33.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, give me the wisdom and strength to nurture my marriage to fruition in Jesus name. 

2. Pray for all the men you know that they will be God fearing husbands and a worthy father.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
