Family Vision - Can You See it? - Part 1 of 2

Abraham had the vision. So much, he became the “FATHER” of many nations. How? It says it very clear in Genesis 18:19. It all began with his “household.”

Genesis 18:19 (KJV)
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

There’ve been a lot of teaching and books written about men being the King and Priest of their home. However, there’s a higher calling than King and Priest – it’s FATHER. Even THE KING OF KINGS is subject to His Father!

William Gouge – Of Domestical Duties – Written in 1622
The metaphor of a head declares both the dignity of a husband and the duty of a husband. As a head is set above the body, so is a husband to his wife. As a head, by the understanding which is in it, governs, protects, preserves, and provides for the body, so does the husband his wife. At least, he ought to do so, for this is his office and duty.
