After the devotion today, this statement keeps running in my head, especially after I have prayed for my future partner. It goes like,
"Are you currently the man of your household?"
This statement takes in a lot of explanation. It can be interpreted as "Are you the provider for your family?" or simply "Have you taken the responsibility as a son/leader to take care of your family?"
To bring it further, it could mean "How have the relationship between you and your family members gone so far?"
Neither of the questions gave me a "yes" for I am not even in par to my current age to have the maturity to resume my position as "the man of the household". Probably, I have been in a good life for the past 31 years of my life. The least i could worry about, as parents provide most of my daily needs.
The question trembles me and finally I realized the truth behind my singlehood. I am telling myself that I need to change, immediately.
Lord Father, I need your wisdom to help me in my discipline in all that i do. You have shown me the picture of how a godly family is formed. It takes years to build a leader and it's under such leadership that the house prospers. Lord you taught me that in order to own/build a family, I must first become the leader myself in the current family.
I ask that Lord you will show me the quality of Jesus, who is not only the leader of the household but the leader of the community. That i may learn from Him to prepare myself to be not only the right person but a righteous person to be wedded to the lady you have prepared for me.
My gratitude to you Lord with all the praise, honour and glory. In Jesus name, i seal this prayer. Amen.
