Bible Texts: Gen. 1:26, Gen. 2:15-16, Gen. 2:18, Gen.17:1-2, Jn.3:1-end, 2Cor.5:17, Gen.17:1-3, Rom.6:1, 2Cor.5:17, Philp.2:13, Matt.6:22
Godliness is the husbandman’s greatest heritage and desire because this will make him useful to God, his wife, children and the world. Godliness is what invites the power, person and presence of God into your life and home. This is why you must pursue after righteousness and hate evil and wickedness.
But why should I live a righteous life as the husbandman?
Righteousness gives you access to the wisdom of God that will help you lead your life successfully as the good and godly man, husband and father. And it is the wisdom of God you require everyday to do the perfect will of God.
When you pursue after righteousness, it is a proof that you are made in the image and likeness of God through Jesus Christ. You must remember that you are the ambassador of Christ and as His representative you must represent Him in all that you think, do and say.
But what do I need to do to start pursuing after righteousness as the husbandman?
You have to have your root in Jesus Christ by accepting Him as your Lord and personal saviour. A relationship with Jesus Christ is the firm foundation that sets you on the path of glory, honour and dignity. No other relationship outside Jesus Christ can set you on the path of righteousness. Nothing will keep your godly heritage intact like having and maintaining a truthful and sincere relationship with the Groom, Jesus Christ (Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17, Ps.24:1-2, Rom.6:1). It doesn’t matter how far you may have gone in unrighteous living, you can start anew with Jesus Christ again. He is your hope and your sure foundation to living a righteous life.
Therefore, I encourage you to make a firm decision today to live righteously by surrendering your life to Jesus Christ and watch Him turn you to a husbandman that will walk in righteousness, glory, honour and dignity.
