Bible Texts: Heb.12:12-13, Rom.12:1-2, Is.40:31, Gen.17:1, Rom.12:2, Eph.5:26, Jn.6:63, Hag.1:7, Pro.4:18, Jn.10:10, Gal.4:19, Rev.12:10-11, Ezk.2:2
Many husbandmen make daily decisions to renew their physical bodies by going to the gym to exercise but fail to renew their spirit man. They change their clothes but not their attitude. They replace their worn out shoes but not their caustic behaviour. The perfect will of God for the husbandman is to renew his spirit man, if he must lead and become the true reflection of what God wants him to be as good and godly husbandman. This also demands that the husbandman must make a decision to walk before God and be like Him in all things through Jesus Christ.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Rom.12:1-2)
As you lead yourself in pursuit of the perfect will of God for you as the good and godly husbandman, it is important for you to recognize the importance of renewing your spiritual man through personal word study, constant fellowship with God through Jesus Christ, that is prayers and fellowship with other brethren. If you do not renew your mind, you will not have the strength to overcome challenges, pressures and distractions.
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed (Heb.12:12-13)
If you want to continue to be relevant and useful as the good and godly man, husband and father, you must renew your spiritual life. This is because the quality of your investment in your spiritual growth, development and renewal will impact on the quality of your life as the husbandman.
For you to renew your spirit man, which is the man on the inside, you must give yourself to these covenant demands.
Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life and they are they which testify of me (Jn.5:39)
Firstly, feed your mind on a daily basis with the word of God by studying, meditating and acting on it (Pro.4:20-22, Ps.1:1, Jn.5:39, Eph.5:26)
It is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak to you, for they are spirit and they are life (Jn.6:63)
Secondly, you must engage the power of prayer to enjoy the fruits of the spirit behind the word of God (Ezk.2:2).
As the husbandman, you must understand that the quality of your spirit man has direct impact on the quality of your soul and body. If your spirit is healthy by the life and spirit of the word of God, then your mental, emotional and physical life will be healthy too. Therefore, you must make a daily commitment to give yourself to the demands of spirituality so that you can be healthy and stronger in the outer man.
