1. HEADSHIP OF THE FAMILY
Ephesians 5:22-23
“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the
wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body”.(NKJV)
Genesis 2:19
“Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the
air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam
called each living creature, that was its name”.(NKJV)
The husband is the head of the family.
In the head you have the following organs:-
1. Eyes. This means the husband must have a vision for the family. It is terrible to
be the head when you are not visionary at all. Where are you leading your family
to?
2. Nose. This means that the husband must have the sense of smell. This enables
him to detect things when they go wrong. In smelling you will know the bad
habits that are in the family. Don’t be away from the family as you will not be
able to detect anything.
3. Ears. The husband must open his ears to hear from God. He must be a reader of
God’s Word and be a prayerful person who seeks God at all times and leads his
family in devotions. He is the spiritual head of the family accountable to God and
the family.
4. Tongue. This means he must use his sense of taste. The husband must set up
standards for the family which he should lead by example. He becomes a mentor
to his children as they would desire to imitate him. When standards are set, they
are for every member of the family.
5. Brains. The husband must use his sense of touch. He must set order. The brain is
where all are feelings are detected. When there is order in the family, then
everything goes on well. When the head of the family does not set order,
everything falls apart.
As the head of the family, you have enormous responsibility. God is counting on you and
the family is looking to you. Put your efforts in delivering to your family.
Addendum
1. What you saw is what is making you enjoy/suffer/endure in your family.
2. What you did in the past mattered. But what you do now, matters today and the
future. Watch what you are doing, as it affects your tomorrow.
3. Don’t run away from your responsibility, as you ASKED FOR IT.
