ARE YOU SERVING OR YOU ARE BEING SERVED?

Bible Texts: Lk.22:26-27, Gen.2:14-16, Jn.10:14, Is.40:11, Heb.13:20, Rom.9:16, Ecc.9:11, Eph.5:25-29, Eph.6:4, 1Tim.5:8, Deut.6:7, 1Pet.3:7, Gal.4:19, Gen.18:19, 2Tim.2:15, Hos.4:6

As the husbandman, there is only one position you can take as the good and godly man, husband and father, and that is found in Luke Gospel chapter 22.

But ye shall not be so, but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For who is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as HE THAT SERVETH (Lk.22:26-27)

Are you sitting at meat as a boss in your relationships with your wife and children or you are among them as one who serves their best interest?

As the good and godly husbandman, you must appreciate that being the husbandman is a call to service. Your enthronement as the husbandman is a privilege given by God and it is a call to higher service. And you must embrace this truth faithfully and wholeheartedly.

As the husbandman, you are a servant, ministering to the needs of your wife and children. And this includes their spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, material and social needs (Eph.5:25-29, Eph.6:4, 1Tim.5:8, Deut.6:7, 1Pet.3:7, Gal.4:19, Gen.18:19). These services require a lot of sacrifices from you as the man, husband and father. It is when you consistently serve with joy and gladness of heart that you can be called the true ambassador of Jesus Christ who is the perfect example of one who came to serve.

You must remember that you are not among your sheep as one who is self-centered, manipulates, controls and abuses. You must also remember that serving the best interest of your wife and children does not reduce your value as the husbandman. Rather it is the pathway to honour for you. Be a true servant!

Your greatness as the man, husband and father is built on the foundation of true service and that is what God has sent you to do. Therefore, make your life a worthy servant, bringing glory and praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

SPIRITUAL EXRCISE

• Father, in the Name of Jesus, baptize me with a new zeal to uphold my office with a servant mentality.

FAITH CONFESSION

I am grateful to God for making me the husbandman and by this privilege, I embrace the responsibilities that come with the ministry to serve in all aspects of my relationships as the man, husband and father because that is what makes me the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
