This
is a godly transition of passing on the word of God from parents to their
children from one generation to another through a well organized bible studies
in order to preserve a godly generation. The foundation is aid by doing and
teaching the word of truth- Acts 1:1. The teaching must be done to suit modern
thought and views; otherwise the power of the word will be lost. Modernism is
one of the enemies of the cross and the truth- Isa. 55:6-11. The power of
inspiration and motivation for doing this is fear and reverence and supreme
love of God. This legacy is said to be for us, our children and for our
children's children forever.
The
reason fathers and sons are mentioned primarily is because they re principal
actors in the transmission and preservation of godly legacy in the family. They
are the family pillars of destiny. Fathers hence have the responsibility of
transmitting these legacies to their children (especially the sons), because the
sons are the primary custodians of family properties and name as successors f
their fathers. And, as the head of the woman, the husband has the
responsibility of guiding the wife to know the mind of God for the family so
that both can join hands to train the children.
Adam
was first created and given the commandment not to eat the forbidden fruit
before Eve his wife was created. It was Adam who had the responsibility to
educate, inform and guide the wife on God's instructions and ensure obedience-
Gen.2:15-18. That is why he is the head of the woman and told to live with her
according to knowledge-1 Cor.11:3.
