Speak to wives Kindly:
As husbands, we are called to love and respect our wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25).
The Bible tells us that our speech has the power to bring life or death (Proverbs 18:21). When we speak to our wives, are we speaking life-giving words or death-dealing words? Are we building up or tearing down?
In Colossians 3:19, we are instructed to speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing and making melody to the Lord in our hearts. This is how we should speak to our wives - with kindness, compassion, and grace.
Remember that our wives are our sisters in Christ, and we are called to treat them with the same love and respect that we would show to Christ himself (Ephesians 5:33). So let us strive to speak to our wives in a way that honors God and blesses our marriages. May our words be seasoned with salt and grace, and may we build each other up in love.
Importance of humility and kindness in our relationships.
The Bible warns us about the dangers of arrogance, meanness, and violence in our interactions with others. In Ephesians 4:31-32, we are told to put away bitterness, wrath, and anger, and to be kind and tender-hearted towards one another.
But what happens when these negative traits are present in a husband and father? The consequences can be devastating. An arrogant, mean, and violent tone can spoil the relationship with our wife and children, leading to a breakdown in trust, respect, and love.
In contrast, God calls us to be servant-leaders in our homes, loving and sacrificing for our families, just as Christ loved and gave himself up for us. In Colossians 3:19, we are instructed to put on gentleness, patience, and forgiveness towards our loved ones. Let us remember that our relationships with our wife and children are a sacred trust, and that our tone and behaviour have a profound impact on their well-being and faith. May we strive to cultivate a spirit of humility, kindness, and grace in our homes, that we may build strong, loving relationships that honour God.
Godless husband who is spiritually lost and how it affects his family.
The Bible tells us that the husband is the head of the household, and that he is called to love and lead his wife and children in a way that honors God. But when a husband rejects God and refuses to submit to His authority, he becomes spiritually lost and unable to provide the spiritual guidance and leadership that his family needs.
This can have devastating consequences for the family. Without a godly husband and father to lead them, the family is left without a moral compass, wandering aimlessly in a world that is full of temptation and danger. The children are left without a positive role model, and the wife is left to carry the burden of spiritual leadership alone.
But there is hope. God's Word tells us that if we confess our sins and turn to Him, He will forgive us and restore us to a right relationship with Him. I urge any husband who is struggling with spiritual lostness to turn to God, seek His forgiveness and guidance, and take up the responsibility of spiritual leadership in their home.
