BE SEPARATE, COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM

Bible Texts: 2Cor.6:17-18, Ps.1:1, 1Jn.5:17, 1Cor.15:33-34, 1Cor.14:40, Rom.6:1, 1Cor.14:20, 1Cor.14:25. 1Cor.16:9, 1Cor.16:13

Today’s teaching is both an admonition and instruction to the husbandman and I pray, in the name of Jesus, that you will yield to the call of God for you.

Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord and touch not the unclean things and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you and ye shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord Almighty (2Cor.6:17-18)

One of the most importance forces that influence the husbandman is the association he keeps and what he identifies himself with. The association either leads the husbandman to do what pleases the Lord Jesus Christ or makes him disobey the instructions of God. The Word of God says this. Be not deceived, evil communications corrupt good manners (1Cor.15:33). This is why God through His word is calling you to separate yourself and come out from among them (Ps.1:1).

But what must I separate myself from?

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful (Ps.1:1)

God wants you to come out from wrong and ungodly relationships, associations and activities because it does not fit your personality as the good and godly husbandman and as the ambassador of Jesus Christ. You must understand that God is your Father and He wants the best for you. And He is ready to give you wisdom and power to enable you to be separated unto righteousness.

Now, anything that is not of God is sin. And you must not be part of it, regardless of what people think, say or believe.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not unto death (1Jn.5:17)

Uncontrolled appetite that leads to greed and covetousness, lying, abuse of your body and the bodies of others through in-take of drugs and alcohol, stealing, disobeying and disregarding the laws of the land where you live, adultery, bitterness, unforgivenss, hatred, malice, laziness, bad will towards others, a false witness, an agent of discord, and serving other gods are all unrighteousness. And the word God calls it sin. You must come out of them all.

Therefore,

Awake to righteousness and sin not, for some have not the knowledge of God, I speak this to your shame (1Cor.15:34)

Today is the day the Lord Jesus Christ has made. Make a firm decision to stop those ungodly habits. Make a commitment today to disassociate yourself from ungodly relationships and associations that take you away from God and His words. God wants to be your Father so that He can empower you with wisdom that will make to function as the good and godly husbandman.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

• Father, in the Name of Jesus, forgive me for disobeying Your instructions.
• Father, in the Name of Jesus, give me boldness and courage to disassociate myself from all forms of ungodliness.
• Father, in the name of Jesus, empower me to exercise power and authority over the influences of satan, sin and the world and make me walk in righteousness.

FAITH CONFESSION

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and I walk in this consciousness in my thought, action, communication, association and relationship because that is what makes me the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
