TOPIC: INTRUCTIONS TO GODLY HUSBANDS IN MARRIAGE ( PART 3)
TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:25-27
25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26. That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27. That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
KEY VERSE: 2 TIMOTHY 3:17-That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Give Yourself To Your Wife As Christ Gave Himself To The Church: Give yourself to the care of your wife as Christ gave Himself to the care of the Church. Spend time with your wife as Christ also spent on the Church. He gave Himself for the world to make them part of the Church when they believe in Him. When He gave Himself for the Church that has now become His bride, it was so that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.
Husbands, love your wife by giving yourself to perfect her. Learn to teach your wife essential knowledge. You may invite a chef to teach her how to cook or someone to help improve her literacy. Such actions increase her worth to your satisfaction and joy.
Cleanse her with the right words as Christ cleanses the Church. Learn to use the scriptures on your wife. Reproof her with scriptures in the areas of her fault. Open her eyes to the scriptures to let her know she is wrong. Instruct her in all matters of righteousness to make her a perfect person.
Use words to perfect your wife. Speak: do not be silent about her mistakes? Explain to her what wrong she is doing, backed by scriptures. This applies to a born-again woman that is faithful in Christ Jesus. To such, the Bible says, give counsel to a wise man, and he will be wiser.
Bear With Your Wife And Believe Her: Learn to bear all things. Learn to believe what your wife says. Be hopeful to see her grow and improve in many things. Endure all things even though she may be rebellious. This is love and you are to love your wife as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it.
Be Kind To Your Wife: Love is kind. Be kind. Give good gifts to your wife. Speak kindly to her. Be soft and tender. Even when she does wrong, please, respond softly and gently to turn away evil.
Thought for the day: Give yourself to your wife and she will give herself to you.
Song for the day: Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning…
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 49
