WHO YOU ARE NOT

Bible Texts: Is.45:1, Gen.1:26-28, 2Cor.3:18, Gen.12:1-2, Matt.5:14-16, 3Jn.1:2, Ps.1;3, 2Thess.3;10, Jn.10;11, 1Tim.5:8, Ps.139:14, Col.3:19, Eph.6:4, 1Tim.4:13

Halleluyah to God in the highest for bringing us to a new month! It is the 11^th month of the year, 2023. And it is prophectic. It is 11, which represents two pillars that hold and gives access. It is like the two leaved gates (Is.45:1). I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that this month, only by the hand of God, you will gain access to your inheritances in Christ Jesus as spoken of in Revelation chapter 5 and verse 12. Welcome to your month of enjoying the help of God in ways never imangined.

Your life as the husbandman remains the best gift from God to you because it offers you the opportunity to showcase the nature and character of Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman. And because of this, let us consider who you are not from the word of God.

Firstly, you are not a mistake as the man, husband and father.

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well (Ps.139:14).

God made you in His image and after His likeness (Gen.1:26-28). This means you have the seed of His nature and character inside you. All you need to do is to come to Him through Jesus Christ so that you can be empowered to activate that true nature of Christlikeness in you (2Cor.3:18).

Secondly, you are not a burden.

Now the Lord had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee. And I will make theee a great nation, and I will bless thee and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing (Gen.12:1-2)

You are a transgenerational agent of blessing. You are light. You must not allow satan, sin and the world make your life as the man, husband and father become a burden to yourself, your wife, children and the society. You are are a blessing and to be a blessing to them and in the marketplace. Let your light so shine before them, bringing glory and praise to Jesus Christ (Matt.5:14-16). That’s who you are.

Finally, you are not lazy spiritually, mentally and physically.

My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working (Jn.5:17-18) NIV

God did not make you a lazy entity in spirit, soul and body. God made you to be a worker and a productive steward because He wants you to prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers (3Jn.1:2, Ps.1:3, 2Thess.3:10). You must fight the rudiments of this world that have turned the husbandman into a sheep instead of a shepherd (Jn.10:11, 1Tim.5:8)

Arise, shine, for your light as the husbandman, has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you (Is.60:1). Therefore, make your life count righteously to God, your wife, children and marketplace and be the good and godly man, husband and father.

Welcome to November, 2023.
