LOVING ONE'S WIFE LIKE CHRIST - Part 3

PROTECTING HER
One of the ways to demonstrate Christlike love as a Christian husband is by protecting your wife. True love protects.

First, you must protect your wife from your family. Your wife is not your family's property. She's your treasure. I am not saying she should not serve your parents or family in any way she could at all, but you must not allow your family to turn her into family house girl that every member of your family will be sending on errands. You must stand up for your wife in your family.

You must cut yourself clearly off your culture that turns wives into husbands' families' property. What your siblings will not ask you to do for them, you should not allow them to ask your wife to do it.

One of the most potent and best ways to pass this message to your family is to do what they are asking your wife to do. For instance, as it is common in Yoruba culture, your uncle asks your wife to go and fetch water for him, which he will not ask you to do. Then, you should take the bucket and do it. When your uncle sees you doing it, he would want to say that it's your wife he sends and then you can let him know that you and your wife are one and whatever she's asked to do, both of you are asked to do it. Then, your uncle will definitely exercise restraint next time.

Secondly, you must protect your wife from your friends. You don't allow your friends to disrespect or disregard your wife. But that depends on how you treat her whenever they are around in your house. For instance, when your friends are around, you don't leave your wife alone in the kitchen to do all the cooking and serving. You don't just sit with your friends talking and laughing and once in a while asking your wife if the food is ready. Your friends ask for water, you cannot go and get it for them. You are calling your wife who's very busy with cooking to still bring water for your friends. They ask for snacks, you cannot go to the fridge to bring it, it's your wife you are calling to bring it. Dear brother in Christ, you are just presenting your wife as your house help or slave to your friends.

Thirdly, you must protect your wife from your neighbour. Of course, I am not saying you should defend or shield her when she does wrong to your neighbour. True love does not defend evil. Aside that, you don't allow your neighbours to disrespect your wife or always take her for granted.

Furthermore, no matter your wife's mistake in the public, you should not embarrass her in the public. Let me share a true life testimony to buttress my point.

A wife went out with one of the family cars and she hit a taxi cab 🚖 around UI, in Ibadan. And you know how uncultured and unruly the majority of Ibadan taxi drivers are. The taxi driver started ranting and abusing the woman. The woman then called her husband and he came with another car. On getting to the scene of the incident, he asked for the driver of the taxi and he introduced himself. After the introduction, he gave his wife the key of the car he brought and asked her to go home. The taxi driver was like no way, she cannot go, bla, bla, bla... The man said whether she goes or not, I am the one who will pay for the damages. So, what do you want. The woman went home while the husband settled the whole matter with the taxi driver.

Many men cannot do that. They will first embarrass and blame their wives. You will hear something like: "You see your life now. I have always told you to be careful when driving, but you wouldn't listen to me. Now, see what you have caused. You caused problem and you were calling me...". At least, if the man will scold or correct the wife, he should not do it in such an embarrassing manner in the public.

So, in all ways, a Christlike husband should protect his wife. This is one of the ways to demonstrate true love. TRUE LOVE PROTECTS.

HAVE YOU WONDERED?

Have you ever wondered why the name of the wives of Samuel and Eli were not mentioned along with the misbehavior of their children?

Well, what I have discovered from the fall till date is that God always holds men (husbands) more responsible for the failure of the family. This does not mean that women (wives) will be totally exonerated by God. But much is expected from the man of the house.

God held Adam more responsible than Eve when they fell. Who knows, maybe God would have solved the problem in the garden if Adam took his stand and refused to eat the fruit along with his wife. But when Adam fell, the whole race of man fell. The Bible never said sin entered through one woman, but through one man, Adam (Rom. 5:12).

As great as Samuel was, he couldn't lead his children in the right way and the children of Israel told him that his children were not following in his footsteps. Therefore, they asked for a king. Samuel's failure in his home was used as an excuse to demand what was not yet God's time for them to have. 1 Samuel 8:5: "Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have."

God warned Eli about his children's waywardness. Funnily enough, we did not read that God mentioned his wife along with this warning. In 1 Samuel 2:27-36 and 1 Samuel 3:11-14, we can see God’s warning through an unnamed prophet and later through the young boy Samuel. But Eli did not heed the warning and acted promptly and God judged Eli because of his sons, Hophni and Phinehas.

Dear Christian husbands, please, don't take the matter of your family lightly. You will be held more responsible in the end.

Jesus is the pattern head and example of the man of the house. Let's go to him for grace, wisdom and strength. We cannot afford to fail.

THE FLOW OF AUTHORITY IN THE HOME

1Cor. 11:3: "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."

If this is God's ordained flow chat, no Christian husband should use authority beyond the one he has received through Christ. Authority should flow downwards.

Naturally, the more easily Christ can lead a husband, the more easily the man will lead his wife. The same follows between the wife and children.

Any man who is not submissive to his own head, which is Christ, is not fit to demand submission from his wife.

Submission should not be forced or bought. Submission should be earned. True submission should be willingly done.

Dear Christian husband, while not concentrate and work on your own submission to Christ and see how this will naturally rub on your wife.

1Peter 3:7
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered." Any man who does treat his wife well is only hindering his own prayers. Treat your wife well.

LOVING ONE'S WIFE LIKE CHRIST - Part 2

PUTTING ONE'S WIFE FIRST IN ALL THINGS

When you take a good study of how Christ demonstrates His love for His bride, the church, you will realize that Jesus puts the church first, even ahead of Himself.

A Christlike husband is expected to put his wife first in all things and everything. A Christlike husband does not put himself first. After God, it's not him, nor his parents, not even his siblings should follow, but his wife.

True love thinks about the success, wellbeing, progress, etc of the object of love ahead of himself. This means that a Christlike husband will think of the wellbeing, progress, success, etc of his wife ahead of himself.

Let me bring this into practical demonstration. If you truly love your wife like Christ loves the church, she will be put first in whatever you are doing. Before you buy one cloth for yourself, you would have allowed her to buy two or three. You will sacrifice your own comfort for her. If there remains only one meat in the pot, you will prefer your wife to eat it. Christ did all these and even more for the church, His wife and set us example.

Are you a Christlike husband?

LOVING ONE'S WIFE LIKE CHRIST - Part 1

Paul, in his Epistle to the Ephesian church, says: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her," (Eph. 5:25).

The phrase "JUST AS" is synonymous to "EXACTLY AS". That means, the measurement of a Christian husband's love to his wife is Christ's love for the church. This is very instructive and worth pondering on.

The next important point to note is "Christ giving Himself for the church" out of love; not because of any special benefits He would derive. In very clear words, giving Himself for the church means DYING FOR THE CHURCH.

If husbands are commanded or instructed to love their wives EXACTLY AS Christ loves the church, it's imperative that every Christian husband is expected to love their wives to the point of dying for them if need be. And this is expected not because of anything in return, but just for love sake 💖.

One logical question from above is if a man can give his life (die physically) for his wife genuinely, if need be, because of his love for her, what else would such husband not do for or give to his wife? What else is greater than one's life in this whole world?

This is really really really deep. No wonder in verse 32, Paul calls the relationship between a husband and his wife as a GREAT MYSTERY, because it typifies, symbolizes or represents the relationship between Christ and the church.

Dear Christian husband, have you taken time to do a study on CHRIST THE HUSBAND? It's worth doing, because everything is or should be measured from Christ.

This part 1 may look so ambiguous, especially to young brothers in the faith or to some older Christian brothers in the faith who have never given this a deep thought and allowing the Holy Spirit to break it down for them.

We shall, in the subsequent parts, look at practical ways to demonstrate or show love to one's wife like Christ. We shall be looking at ATTRIBUTES OF CHRISTLIKE LOVE ❤️.

I hope you will follow through to the end.

Jesus paid the highest price to secure and sustain His marital relationship with the church. You as Christian husband are expected to follow His example. Men have a lot to sacrifice to make their homes work.

WHEN MEN FAIL
Right from creation, God has given the male gender the role of leadership. This begins from home, then to the church.

But as it happened to the first man, Adam, so it is still happening to modern men. Adam failed in his leadership role. His wife was deceived by the Devil and he chose to fall along with his wife instead of running to God for deliverance and help.

Today, the failure of men has led to the springing up of feminism and this has been taken too far. Feminism is not and cannot be the solution to men's failure. The solution is for men to return to their God-given role and do it the way God wants them to do it.

Men now have better opportunities in Christ. Christ is now the last Adam. He succeeded. He worn the battle against his enemy, the Devil. In fact, His ultimate victory - death on the cross, opened the door for a new bride - the church.

To every Christian husband and male gender, Christ is always available to help take our leadership roles at home and in the assembly of the saints without messing up or fail.

Every man should study Christ as a leader and husband and thrust themselves into His hands for grace and help. We can do it. We can be Christlike men, husbands and leaders and our women will feel safe and secured. They will not need to clamor for authority or be competing with us. They will willingly submit themselves under our leadership as unto Christ.

Peace!

Family is the BULWARK of the nation (society) they say. The Devil knows this and this is why he is using bulldozer to destroy this bulwark and the impact is seen, even by the blind.
Lord restore godly homes.
