We are now in the part five of this series. Wives, we were done with our roles, and this time, it is the husband's turn to learn. I will be sharing about the: ROLE OF MEN
A. Why should man fulfill their biblical role?.....*Fulfilling biblical role means trusting God to know what is best for his family.
.....*Because God's will is "good,well-pleasing and perfect"
.....*Because man will never experience the privilege of "oneness" in the marriage relationship if men defy God's will.
.....*Because man will never be the person God intended him to be if he don't fulfill his biblical role.
B. Man's part in marriage:
.....*The husband is to be wife's leader. Here are some of the characteristics of the leadership of the husband.
.........1. Leadership in the bible is being a servant. "Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant..." Matthew 20:26 NIV
.........2. The man's concern is:
..............-not himself
..............-not to give orders
..............-not to boast to others
..............-not to have his own way
3. Being a servant means:
.....*you put the best interest and need of others ahead of yours. In other words, husband live for thier wife
.....*you are willing to sacrifice yourself
.........a) personal needs
.........b) wants
.........c) desires
.........d) aspirations
.........e) time
.........f) money
4. The emblem of leadership in the bible is not a crown or throne, but a towel and a basin. "...so he (Jesus) got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him." John 13:4-5 NIV
5. The most important element of leadership in the Bible is a servant's heart. The man must be the family's biggest servant.
