MAKE EACH DAY COUNT FOR JESUS CHRIST

Bible Texts: Rom.13:11-14, Matt.5:14-16, Acts 1:1. Jn.3:5-7, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.6:1, Mk.9:29, Ps.1:1-3, Jn.5:39, 2Tim.2:15, Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13, Philp.4:8

Today’s message is a clarion call on the husbandman to understand that each day matters to God and he must make it count for Jesus Christ. I love how the word of God describes the importance of each day. Today is the day of salvation.

How careful can the husbandman be each day he wakes up to take up the challenge of leading himself to becoming the good and godly man, husband and father? It is that each day matter because God wants him to make necessary adjustments in his spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and relational life that will make his calling as the husbandman worthy.

What must I do today and each day to make it count for God?

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lust (Roms.13:11-14)

The word of God in Romans chapter 13 and verses 11 through to 14 shows you what you must do to make each day count for Jesus Christ.

You must awake out of your spiritual slumber, excuses and state of defeat. You must take a decisive commitment to depart from your old life of unrighteousness and irresponsibility and start taking responsibility to obey all that God commands from His word for you as the husbandman. You must lay aside your undisciplined lifestyles. You must cast off the works of darkness which are drunkenness, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life, strife, envy and all forms of ungodliness.

You must adorn the Lord Jesus Christ, the same way you wear your dress. You must start today be wearing Jesus Christ in your thoughts, your conduct, action, responses and reactions. What you say and do must show that you are indeed in Christ (2Cor.5:17).

In order for you to make this turnaround possible, you must have a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ by confessing your sins and inviting Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and personal Saviour (Jn.3:5-7, 2Cor.5:17). You must also get a personal bible for yourself and dedicate your time to studying and meditating on the words from the Bible (Ps.1:1-3, 2Tim.2:15, Jn.5:39). Then, you must give yourself to prayers and fasting so that you can be empowered to do exactly what the word of God commands (Acts 1:1, Mk.9:29, Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13).

Today matters to God. It matters to you. Make today and each day of your life count for Jesus Christ because that is what makes you the good and godly husbandman.
