Welcome to the month of May 2024. It is the fifth month and the number five (5) represents grace. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ shall be with you and all yours, bringing you into favour before God and man which shall result in your success in all areas of your life. Amen.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us, for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you (2Thess.3:6-7)
God wants the husbandman to conduct himself in an orderly manner, after the pattern of Scriptures. As the good and godly husbandman, you must allow the power in the word of God to influence your responses, conduct and action as the man, husband and father. The perfect will of God for you is to mature by putting in check your emotions, appetite and desires and doing His will.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things (1Cor.13:11)
As the husbandman, you must grow up from being a child to becoming a son.
Some of the ways you walk orderly after the principles of the word of God are these.
Firstly, you must work with your hand, mind and soul to earn a living so that you can provide for yourself, wife, children and support those who are in need (1Tim.5:8, 2Thess.3:10). Secondly, you must give honour to your wife and not disrespect her in whatever way (1Pet.3:7, Col.3:19, Eph.5:25, 1Cor.13:4-8). Thirdly, you must provide and become the source of motivation, inspiration and encouragement to your children to do what is good and godly everywhere they go. You must be their first cheerleader and not their teachers, pastors or bishops. (Eph.6:4, Deut.6:4-8).
Starting from this new month, commit to doing the perfect will of God for your life as the man, husband and father by living an orderly life. It is the pathway to growing up into maturity as the good and godly husbandman.
