WISDOM ENGENDERS GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (B)
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Colossians 3:19 (KJV)
The husband has a responsibility to love his wife as HaMashiach loved the Church. Our opening text states, “and be not bitter against them” meaning that the wife has the capacity not just to annoy her husband but to behave in such a way that will embitter the man. To be bitter means to express severe grief or regret about something. It means marked by strong resentment or cynicism. The husband must know that the wife could behave in ways that could bring strong resentment in his heart towards her and from the beginning make the room to love her in spite. The Church is not close to being perfect but HaMashiach still loves the Church and gave Himself for her. Husband remember that loving your wife has a yardstick and it is a very high one. It is as HaMashiach loves the church and gave himself for her. Loving your wife is something you must be intentional, dedicated and consistent about. She does not need to be perfect to deserve your love. The Church was lost when HaMashiach died for her. It was that sacrifice of love that brought us into relationship with Yahweh. It is loving your wife that will bring out the angel and comforter in her alive. Put showing love to your wife in your budget. Be intentional about it. Your open heavens amongst others depends on your wife’s disposition towards you.
1 Peter 3:7 says that husband should dwell with your wife according to knowledge. Knowledge here means that the husband is to know his wife in all the departments of her life in order to be able to read the mood of his wife per time and act according to that knowledge. You know when your wife is tired and needs rest and you help her get the needed rest and rejuvenate herself. You know when your wife is moody and needs succour, you try to bring her to smiles and joy. You know when your wife is happy and you don’t puncture that mood. When you don’t act towards your wife according to knowledge, you become the enemy of your own destiny because your prayers will be hindered. Loving your wife is just for your own good.
Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath. I see a situation in my generation where fathers have abdicated their responsibility of training their children. It is the responsibility of the father to teach the family, the word of Yahweh. Train the children. Give instruction before you apply discipline. The word of God is for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. If you as a father don’t have time for the Word of Yahweh, how can you teach it? We have absent fathers that only come in to try to discipline on what is not done well while they have not taken time to give instructions and training. When you do that, you are provoking the child to wrath and the end result is going to be rebellion. You don’t want to have that situation, would you?
REMEMBER: Wisdom instructs the husband to love his wife to enjoy marital bliss.
CONFESSION: As HaMashiach is, so am I. I love my spouse and respond in understanding to my family. Thank You Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your family shall begin to experience bliss from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
