THE VICTORIOUS HUSBAND AND HIS MARRIAGE
Many are the afflictions of the righteous:
but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones:
not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked Psalms 34:19-21
I want to thank the Chairman of the Redeemers Men Fellowship for inviting me to speak with men and husband on this very important topic: THE VICTORIOUS MAN AND HIS MARRIAGE.
This topic suggests that there is a man who had victory in almost every area of his life and he deserves to be praised for this but we still have to examine his marriage before we can finally say that his victory is complete. There are several husbands that have had victories in battles but their marriage fails. There are great men of God like the renown prophet Eli whose victory in the spiritual was marred by his children and there was Job who had a wife who had no better advice for her husband in the moment of trials.
Therefore, it is pertinent to examine some of the battles of live that almost every male child is subject to face.
The battle of survival.
Some of the Birth statistics that I have been privilege to see suggest to the contrary to what you and I would want to accept. More male child are born more than the female child. Today if you look around as we grow up you are likely to see more female than the male child. Why is this so?
At infants more of the girls survived sickness more than the boys
Growing up years many of the boys die because of their engagements in hard things that I call dangerous expedition.
More male die in accidents because majority of the drivers are male.
In war time and in the military more than 90% of the recruits are boys and many of those who survived as military officers are women. The same thing applies to the police force.
Therefore, if you are here today and you have grown up to have been married, you are among the lucky ones.
THE BATTLE OF ECONOMIC SURVIVAL.
Money may not be the answer to all things as King Solomon suggested but it certainly gives an answer to many things.
Money may determine the kinds of friends that you have because the rich is a friend to the rich and the poor a friend to the poor.
Money may determine the kind of wife you marry because poor boys and rich girls hardly meet nor have the same fellowship. Even the rich are careful about the parish they want their family to attend.
Money may determine the level of your promotion and speed of your progress. Most businesses prefer to do business with rich than the poor because of the risk involved in dealing with the poor merchants.
BOYS STRUGGLES FOR SURVIVAL
Below are some of the boy’s economic struggles in life that many girls may never experience.
Male family members are expecting so much from him for them to survive. Most of the hope of the family is based on the male child. He is seen as the only one who will never shed the family identity because of marriage.
Their wives see them as the ultimate ATM machine that must never say there is no network.
The children look at him for daily bread, school fees, protection from evil and many others.
The Community where he lives are expecting his contributions to their warfare.
If you are a boy here today and you are still breathing under this great financial and societal expectation, then you are among the few victorious ones.
THE BATTLE OF SPIRITUAL SURVIVAL.
In the spiritual Warfare the boys are more of victims than the spiritual war mongers. Many of the people being attacked today happen to be the male child. The reasons for this attack are obvious.
In a polygamous setting the boys in the midst of the girls are in serious trouble. He is seen as the one that will eventually inherit the family property and business so they might try to make sure he never lives to inherit.
When a girl loves him and he does not love the girl, some girls don’t take it lightly his name must be taken to a spiritualist either for prayers or for curses. Most of the boys then may end up marrying someone who is not the right match for them and from that end they may not have a fulfil marriage and life.
Hence, the victorious man is the man that has found a way out of all these spiritual challenges In a monogamous family, the case is not too different as his sisters believed that the parents will always favour him because he is a male child.
