First I want to talk about Jesus. Jesus was the example for us. He led the way we all should go if we choose to believe it or not. I’m going to cross reference Jesus leading, to the way a man should lead. Paul said in relation to the church:
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Jesus is the corner stone of our faith which we build upon. In a likeness, our (men‘s) house we are the corner stone. If we are taken out, the house will fall. It is the same if we do not fulfil our duties as a man. If the corner stone deteriorate and crumbles the house will do the same thing. If this ever happens the wife should love her husband by her intercessory prayers to build up her husband. But we need Esther’s in the church, that will prayer for there husband whether on the right track or not.
1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
If Jesus is the Foundation we lay upon then we should not be moved. But some of us build upon the rock with sticks or hay. The problem isn’t the foundation, it’s what we build upon it. What are we made of? Sticks that will burn when God let‘s the fire try us. Are we hay, that when Satan blows some hot air we blow over. I want to be concrete with reinforce steel, that will stand after the storm, after the Earthquake and after the fire. Because the steel that enforces me is the spirit of the living God. Jesus is our strong tower, strength and refuge.
Psa 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
Psa 62:7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Jesus is our shelter for us all and refuge for us men because we don’t speak about what we really feel inside. The wife should see her husband as a shelter and feel comforted, by our love, by listening and by a hugging/comforting her. The kids should see us like a shelter too. If we are to be a strong tower for our family, we need to be able to stand the hits and the blows from the enemy. By putting on the whole armour of God. You can see rock of my strength under lined. That can be read as the Foundation of my strength and yes He is the foundation of my strength. We as men have to be the foundation builders of strength for our family. Lets lead like Jesus would lead.
May God Bless you.
