Daily Devotional: A Man's Responsibility

He says, husbands, love, your wives, do not in bitter being bitter it against them. You don't get to cuss at your wife. You don't get to be abusive, whether verbally or physically or attitudinally. You don't get to be neglectful. You don't get to be obstinate. You you don't get to do this because once you operate outside of God, he won't hear your prayers first.

Peter 3:7 says

You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. New American Standard Bible

So, many of men who get on their knees is wasting his time because he wants to be over without willing to be under woman. You submit to me, while I submit to nobody. nobodys gonna tell me what to do, but i'ma tell you what to do. The reason why she's a rebel is she's following a rebel.

The Bible, says in first Corinthians 11:3.

"But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ." NASB 

Every man is to be under Christ's Authority. You do not get to be a totally independent male. You are underneath Authority, the Bible says, and if Jesus the man of all man men had to be under his father's authority, what makes a man think that he can be independent of Jesus's authority. That makes you a male rebel. It said. Let not that man think he will receive anything from the Lord God's, not going God's, not going to listen to your prayer and no, he's not going to  change, your woman, because you are in rebellion. I am in rebellion when we do not take this biblical posture, then it comes to parent. He says in verse, 21 fathers do not exasperate your children so that they will lose heart. That's a parent. The reason why I say father's by the way is in the Bible: men. Men are supposed to raise the children, not the women. Okay, I'm talking about you. I'm talking about the culture at the time at the Bible.

Ephesians chapter 6: 4 says

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. New American Standard Bible

It's the father who raised the children, you say well, what's the woman supposed to do? One word,  help. She's for the fill in the gaps when you can't. But God holds you responsible for the home. You can't be talking about I'm the king at his house and all you do is sleep there. You are responsible for the spiritual imprint of your children. You are responsible for the discipline of your children. You are responsible, yes, she fills in the gap when you can't, when you provide - and you can't be, that she fills in the gap, but she does not replace. But we have a generation the day where daddy is not home or he might as well not be Home because he doesn't own this responsibility, he says: do not exasperate your children, but you are to influence them, because this is your responsibility as lined up under God. He says in Genesis: 18:19 Abraham raise your children in righteousness and justice. Its always the father's responsibility, but today we live in a day of male abandonment of the responsibility, and so we have a generation of kids running wild. This is your response. Your responsibility is not first to be happy. Your responsibility first is to be responsible.
