ARISE AND KEEP MARCHING ON

Bible Texts: Philp.3:14-15, Is.60:1, Lk.16:15-16, Jer.1:10-12, Matt.6:22, Jn.10:30, Gen.2:15, Eph.5:25, 1Cor.13:4-8, 1Pet.3:7-9, Eph.1:18-19, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19, Job 14:14

I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ….And I run toward the goal to take the victory of calling of God……..(Philp.3:14-15)

As the husbandman, you have a glorious destiny in Jesus Christ. Hence, God wants you to press on towards the goal of your high calling as the good and godly man, husband and father. God wants you to look forward to victory over satan, sin and the world. This is why you must keep pressing and marching on in you work and walk with God resulting in you becoming the good and godly husbandman.

In pressing towards the goal of the high calling for you, you must allow these truths of Scripture to dwell in you, richly.

God took the man and set him down in the Garden of Eden to work the ground and keep it in order (Gen.2:15) MSG

God has ordained you to be the leader in and be in command of the circumstances in and around your home by showing the nature and likeness of Christ in all that you do.

The second is in John Gospel chapter 10.

My sheep recognize my voice. I know them and they follow me….. No one can steal them out of my hand (Jn.10:30) MSG

God has further empowered you to protect and preserve your sheep and home. You are the man of influence and authority. Neither satan, sin and the world has the power to steal from you your sheep, the peace and joy of the Lord, your home or make you regret being the husbandman.

You must therefore react against anything or circumstance that is contrary to the perfect will of God for your life as the good and godly husbandman (Rom.8:37, Eph.6:12).

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and EVERYMAN PRESSETH UNTO IT (Lk.16:16)

No one will take the responsibility to press for your glorious destiny as the good and godly husbandman. Not your pastor, bishop, reverend, parents, government, relations or friends can. You are the only person who can press towards the goal of the high calling God has set for, working with Person of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, arise and keep marching on as the husbandman resulting in you living the life of the good and godly man, husband and father.

Praise be unto Jesus Christ!
