★ Romans 11:13-14 → "For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them."
* In a family, there are different "offices"
* Every one in the family must recognize their roles & magnify their offices
* "Every Joint must Supply" → No member of the family should be lacking in doing what he/she is required to do
★ As a Christian, you must not:
(a) Desecrate Your office
(b) Relegate Your office
(c) Diminish Your office
* Verse 14 : Provoke your family members to promote good things
- Note that children always watch What you do and try to replicate same in their own lives
* Concentrate on your own office. Do not be distracted by anything
* Do not take over another person's office
* Ephesians 5:21 →"Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God."
WIFE
★ Ephesians 5:22-24
* A wise woman builds her own house
★ Proverbs14:1 - "Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands"
* Submission is required of wives
* Such submission is done as unto the Lord, not man (the Husband)
★ 1st Peter 3:1-6
* If wives obey God, He will make their husbands to do their bidding
★ Isaiah 51:1-2 →" Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him."
* Christian women must not rely on their own understanding or wisdom to make their marriages/homes work
HUSBAND
* He is expected to be the "saviour" of the wife
* The husband should always provide for the family
