Friday… get people to church! 

 

We grow up as kids wishing… I wish I had a million dollars… or I wish I was a super hero… but did you realize that wether wish for some things or wish not for some things… you don’t have a choice… you are in fact it. 

 

I wish I was a pastor… you are a pastor

I am sure glad Im not a pastor… You are a pastor

I wish I was a teacher… you are a teacher

Im glad im not a teacher… you are a teacher

I wish I was the boss… you are the boss

I  sure am glad Im not the boss… you are the boss

I wish I was an evangelist… you are an evangelist

I sure am glad im not an evangelist… you are an evangelist

I wish I was worship leader… you are a worship leader

I am sure glad Im not a worship leader…you are a worship leader 

What ever role of significance in developing your wife and your kids in any area and every area… you are foundational to that training. 

 

1Tim 3:5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?

Well Garth that’s just talking to pastors or people in ministry….

you are in ministry, you are a pastor…

1 Peter 2:9 You are a priest… 

 

YOu must manage, you must preside, you must teach, you must do all the roles you long for and even if you don’t… you still have to do them as the head of the household.

 

Have you ever been in the position where you are given the lead, the person in charge, the CEO the boss…. and you quickly realize- I don’t want this. This is not what I signed up for, this is not what I want. But you as the husband… The house/Band you keep the house together. You keep everything together… You signed up for it… so trust God and move forward.

I was not trained in how to deal with a rebellious son, I was not trained in how to deal with a divorce in our family, I was not trained in how to deal with a wife who has an autoimmune disease, I was not trained in how to be a husband, father and son while battling cancer… but thats the role I have been given. 

 

Matthew 25:14 the parable of the talents… one gets 5, one gets 2 and one gets 1…. God required responsibility and management over each amount - there was no “oh you only got one talent. well you get a pass for blowing it off… If you have just a wife or just one kid or maybe you are single… God requires the same responsibility and management over each life. 

Luke 12:48 to whom much is given, much is required…

I don’t know any greater amount to be given than a child… It is a direct gift from the Lord… how well are you managing that gift? 

Your role is to manage, to lead, to inform, teach and protect your family. Your wife, your child… Their response to your leadership is not up to you, you are simply called to lead. Are world is lacking Godly men to lead, to manage  at work and at home, with kids and wives, with bosses and neighbors -
