Bible Texts: Ps.90:12, 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
Yesterday, we reminded ourselves that as the year 2024 is nearing its end, we must not lose faith and hope in the word of God because God, through Jesus Christ, has great and glorious plans for us as good and godly husbandmen. This is why as the husbandman, you must make each day of the remaining months of this year count by the quality of your thoughts, words and actions.
Teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom (Ps.90:12)
The Scripture talks about the importance of making each day productive and profitable. It says “teach us to number our days”. It doesn’t matter what your yesterday may have looked like and it matters less how many times you have failed as the man, husband and father, you can make today productive and better than yesterday. You can make the most of today and each day fruitful as the good and godly man, husband and father. Therefore, today matters to you to make the necessary adjustments.
But how do I make each day productive and fruitful as the husbandman? You make it happen by applying yourself to the wisdom of God in all that you do. Remember, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the wisdom of God is able to give you direction, instruction and help you make sound judgment as you lead your life as the good and godly man, husband and father.
Now that you understand the importance of making each day count, what are the actions you must engage yourself in?
Firstly, you must awake out of your sleep.
It is high time to awake out of sleep (Rom.13:11a)
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.
Secondly, you must always adorn the Lord Jesus Christ, the same way you wear your dress.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom.13:14b)
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 a Christ and in Christ (Matt.5:14-16, 2Cor.5:17).
Thirdly, you must continually fellowship with God through Jesus Christ in word study and prayers so that you can be empowered to do exactly what the word of God commands (Acts 1:1, Mk.9:29, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19).
Today matters to you and to God.
