Bible Texts: Jn.5:38-39, 2Tim.2:15, Eph.1:18, Jn.14:26, Mk.9:29, Ps.119:105, Jn.5:39, Ps.119:130, Lk.16:29, Acts 17:11, Is.1:19
Every good product has a manual. And it is wisdom to study the manual if the user wants to enjoy and make the most of the product.
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2Tim.2:15)
The office of the husbandman is an excellent product made by God and the Bible is the manual which helps him to enjoy his journey as the good and godly husbandman. The Bible is God’s constitution for your leadership role as the godly man, husband and father. Your life and conduct are guided by the principles of the Bible and every answer you need to solve the challenges you may have as you lead yourself, your wife and children is found in the Bible. But you must search and study the Bible for yourself to discover the answers.
You must also recognize that the Bible is the best book which presents the true picture of who you are and who your wife and children have been created to be. The Bible tells you of God’s intention for giving you a wife and blessing you with children. The Bible also teaches you the steps to take to maximize the potential and gifting that God has deposited inside your life, wife and children. The Bible also empowers you to lead yourself, wife and children courageously and in faith. But you have a responsibility to own a Bible and search for it for answers.
Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life and they are they which testify of me (Jn.5:39)
As an appointee of God, you must delight in the Scriptures as a lifestyle. You must also be intentional, working with the Person of the Holy Spirit, to study, meditate and act on the word of God (Jos.1:8, Ps.1:1-3). It is what you discover from the word of God and you act upon that puts you in command of the affairs of your life and family even as you lead yourself, wife and children.
However, for you to find the answer and enjoy the fullness of the blessings of your search, you need to do the following.
Firstly, you must engage the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit (Jn.14:26). He is the only Person who can interpret the Scripture for you. He opens your eyes to see much more than the letters of Scriptures (Eph.1:18-19). Secondly, you must be willing and ready to obey every instruction God gives and teaches you from the Bible (Is.1:19). Thirdly, you must engage the force of fasting and prayers so that your ears can hear what God by His Spirit is telling you and your eyes can see what God is showing you from His word and act upon them with delight (Mk.9:29, Philp.2:13).
The Bible is your sure bet for a life of peace, quietness, victory and progress as the good and godly husbandman unto God and to your wife, children and in the market place of life.
