Bible Texts: Gal.5:1, Jn.10:10, Jn.8:32, Rom.6:18, 1Pet.2:16, Acts 15:10, Eph.5:25, Rom.5:5, Eph.6:4, Col.3:16
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (Gal.5:1).
In the past few days, the Person of the Holy Spirit has been helping us to build our inner man as husbandmen. This is because leading yourself, wife and children does not come cheap. It requires spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and financial energies.
So, today, again the Word of God is saying that you must stand firm and fast in what Christ came to do for you as the husbandman. The Scripture in Galatians chapter 5 says that Christ has made you free and has broken the yoke of bondage in your life.
But what are the things Christ has freed you from as the husbandman?
Jesus Christ has freed you from guilt. May be you have offended your wife or children or have done something that hurts them and you are bound with guilt. And this guilt has affected the way you pray or relate with your wife and children. Don’t be bound to the guilt anymore. Repent of your actions and walk in liberty.
Jesus Christ has also freed you from hate, bitterness, envy, unforgiveness, unfaithfulness and fear. As the good and godly husbandman, you don’t have to despise your wife and children. You don’t have to hate them and be bitter towards them. You don’t have to remain unfaithful and walk in unforgiveness to your wife and children. You can love your wife as Christ has loved the Church (Eph.5:25). You can nurture your children in the way and admonition of the Lord (Eph.6:4). You can forgive and forget the mistakes, weakness of your wife and children through the love of Christ (Rom.5:5).
For you to stand firm and fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has freed you, you must have a personal relationship with the Person of Jesus Christ by repenting of your sins and accepting Him as your Lord and personal savior (2Cor.5:17, Jn.3:3-7). Secondly, you must study the Word of God and allow the words of Scripture to dominate your thoughts (Col.3:16). Finally, you must engage the power of bold declaration of your freedom (Rom.10:10)
As the husbandman, God wants you to be good and godly. God wants you to have a quality and healthy relationships with Him, your wife and children. Therefore, stand fast and firm in the perfect will of God for you.
