Bible Texts: Gen.1:1-3, Matt.5:14-16, Gen.12:1-3, Rom.8:19, Matt.16:19, Philp.4:8, 2Tim.2:15, 1Tim.4:8, Pro.27:17, Matt.6:10, Gen.12:2-3
Halleluyah! Welcome to the first day of September 2023. The first day of the journey in the ember months. We give God all the glory and praise for all that He has done for us in the past eight months. I pray in the name of Jesus that the Lord shall remember you for good and you shall give birth to your expectations this month. Amen and amen.
Regardless of what may have happened in the past eight months, the Spirit of the Lord is saying to you to start afresh with God again. God is saying today is the day. It is the day you can recreate a new beginning for yourself as you lead your life and the lives of your wife and children.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth (Gen.1:1).
In the beginning, God created something good. He created the heaven and the earth. God set up the foundation on which man, animals, plants, fishes, stars, moon, rocks, mountains and so much more will live and function. God set the stage for all things to flourish. That is why when God made the man, plants and animals that walk on land, live in water and fly in the air, they did not struggle to find their rightful place. They all flourish where they found themselves.
As the good and godly husbandman, God wants you to start on a good note for your life and the lives of your wife and children. God wants you to lay a solid foundation upon which you and your wife and children can build in this remaining four months of the year 2023. God wants you to have a plan.
Now, there are six areas that God wants you to create in the remaining months of 2023, beginning from September.
Firstly, God wants you to be healthy in your spirit man. That is God wants you to be rich towards Him (Philp.3:10). This means that God wants you to know Him better and deeper. God wants you to have a growing and stronger relationship with Him. Secondly, God wants you to be rich mentally (2Tim.2:15). This means, you must pursue and invest in growing your knowledge in your area of pursuit. Thirdly, God wants you to create a physically sound body (1Tim.4:8). This means you must eat the right quantity and quality of food. No more junk and indulgencies. Fourthly, God wants you to create a socially responsible life (Pro.27:17). This means you must build healthy and godly relationships that will help you to grow in good deeds and godly success. Fifthly, God wants you to create a community-like mind set (Matt.5:14-16). This means you must seek to do good not just to your wife and children but to the community where you live. So, ask yourself this question, what can I contribute to my world to make it a better place? How do I bring the will of God in heaven to earth? (Matt.6:10). Finally, God wants you to create a legacy for yourself, wife, children and the world (Gen.12:3). This means you must begin to make progress towards a life beyond you so that when you are long gone to be with Jesus Christ in heaven, your works will continue to speak positively in the lives of the people you have righteously impacted for good and for God.
As the husbandman, you have the mind of Christ. You are created in His image and likeness. God has empowered you to function like Him on earth. Make a decision today to start recreating in these six areas and watch how your life will have impacted positively the lives of your wife, children and the market place of life in the year 2023 and beyond.
Happy New month!
