Bible Texts: Gen.17:1-2, Jn.15:19, Jn.3:27, 1Jn.5:17-18
I did not plan to write on this today but as I was rounding up the teaching of yesterday, the Person of the Holy Spirit, prompted me to share with you truth from Dr. Myles Munroe about developing personal principles. I pray that after you have studied the teaching, you will be inspired and motivated to live by the principles.
As the good and godly husbandman, what personal principles guide your decision in your relationship with God, your wife and children and in the market place of life? You have to have one because where you do not have principles, you are not known for anything. This is what God wanted for Abraham, the husband of Sarah in Genesis chapter 17. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty, walk before me FAITHFULLY and be BLAMELESS” (Gen.17:1) NIV. God wants you to be blameless. God wants you to be faithful. God wants you to grow in righteousness.
Dr. Munroe said these words. “Business without morality; Pleasure without conscience; Wealth without work; Knowledge without character; Science without humanity; Politics without principles; Worship without sacrifice”.
What then are the areas you must develop personal principles that help you become the good and godly husbandman? Firstly, you must do business with morality. You must never cut corners, give or take bribes or compromise on Biblical principle in your business dealings. Secondly, you must never abuse the blessings of the Lord that comes with self indulgence. For instance, do not begin to drink alcohol or engage in sexually immorality or start eating excessively because God has blessed you financially. Thirdly, you must go out there and work with your mind and hands. Work! Work!! It is the pathway to creating wealth. Fourthly, seek knowledge and do what it says. It is not enough to know what to do. It is much more important to practice what you know, beginning from the word of God.
