In the last five (5) days, the Person of the Holy Spirit has helped you and I to understand the various components that make up the good and godly husbandman. You and I are made up of different parts. And the combination of all the parts is what gives value and expression to our calling as the good and godly man, husband and father.
Today is the last day of the series. And we are going into the studio to take the last snapshot to complete the portrait of the good and godly husbandman.
Snapshot taken! It is A SERVANT. The husbandman is a servant. A servant is someone who is engaged to serve the best interest of the people. A servant is not less a human. A servant puts the welfare and concerns of others first. A servant is unselfish. The totality of a servant is humility. That is who you are.
But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth (2Tim.2:24-25).
Humility of heart is the hallmark of the good and godly husbandman. As the husbandman, you must walk in humility of heart. You must be teachable and be willing to be corrected by your wife and children because it doesn’t matter the level of education and exposure you may have, you must understand that you are not perfect. You must learn to serve the best interest of your wife and children, sacrificing your convenience for their good.
How do I serve my wife and children? You serve them with your talent and skills. You also serve them with your experiences and knowledge. You serve them with your time, money and body.
When you serve them faithfully, God empowers you with grace and honour. The word of God has this to say. God resist the proud but gives grace to the humble (Jas.4:6). As you serve, you enjoy favour from God and your wife and children. You also enjoy submission from your wife and children.
You are the advantage in the lives of your wife and children. Serve your way to their hearts and win their loyalty, faithfulness and fellowship.
Note that your make up as the good and godly husbandman is a teacher, soldier, athlete, farmer, vessel and a servant. Become all of these to your wife and children.
