Bible Texts: Jn.3:31, 2Tim.3:16-17, Jn.2:5, Heb.4:12, Lk.22:42, Ps.19:14, Acts 12:24, 1Cor.9:27, Ps.1:1-3, 2Tim.2:15
One thing every husbandman must desire if he wants to become like Jesus Christ in words and conduct is to allow only the perfect will of God to be done in His life. This means bringing under subjection the desires of his flesh, will and emotion and allowing only the Spirit of the word of God to rule his life.
He must increase, but I must decrease (Jn.3:31)
Jesus Christ, who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman submitted to the overriding will of God over and above His own will. Jesus Christ says that if He must experience growth as He walked on earth, He must seek more of what God, His Father wants (Lk.22:42). That is the position God wants you to take as the husbandman.
God wants you to reflect the true nature of Jesus Christ in thoughts, words, actions and responses.
If you want to experience increases in wisdom, knowledge and understanding as the good and godly man, husband and father, you must follow the pathway of Jesus Christ. You must let go of self and embrace more of Jesus Christ, His words and His counsel.
All Scriptures are given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect , thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2Tim.3:16-17)
The Bible in your hands is full of instructions for your growth and development. And thankfully the instructions are not harmful but for your good. You must engage with the word of God, meditate on it and pray fervently for the spirit of the word to gain root in your heart so that when there is a war between your spirit and flesh, your spirit man will win.
Therefore,
Whatever, he tells you to do, do it (Jn.2:5).
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, forgive me for not giving You first place in my life.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, renew my mind and transform my life to be like Jesus Christ.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower Your word in my life and let it have dominion over my thought, words and decision.
FAITH CONFESSION
I surrender my will, emotion, thought and feeling to the authority of God’s word and I live by the rules and instructions of God in all that I think, do, say or act upon because that is the only way I can become the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
