Bible Texts: Ps.34:12-14, 3Jn.1:2, Pro.6:2, Jas.3:5, Pro.18:2, Gal.6:10, Lk.6:27-28, Heb.12:14, 2Cor.5:20, Matt.5:14-16, Ps.1:1-2, 1Thess.5:22
Praise be unto God our heavenly Father and to Jesus Christ, our Saviour and the Person of the Holy Spirit our Teacher and guide for bringing us to the 1st day of September 2024. For all the goodness and mercies of the Lord that we have enjoyed, we return all the glory to God.
Welcome to the new month of September 2024. But what is the secret to a life of wellness as we journey to becoming the good and godly husbandman, because the perfect will of God for you and I is to be well in our spirit, soul and body (3Jn.1:2)?
These are the secrets from the word of God.
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it (Ps.34:12-14)
The Scripture above provides us with secrets that lead to a life of wellness for the husbandman.
The first secret is that the husbandman must not speak evil of somebody or use his tongue to instigate evil actions (Pro.6:2, Jas.3:5, Pro.18:21). You must use your words to elevate and build your family, community and nations and not destroy.
The second is that you must do good unto all men, regardless of tribe, age, religion, colour and nationality (Gal.6:10, Lk.6:27-28). God commands us to be kind to all people even if they do not have the capacity to return the goodness to us.
The third is that you must seek peace (Heb.12:14). God wants you to seek peace and ensure that peace reigns everywhere you find yourself. As the ambassador of Christ, you are a peace maker and not a crises maker (2Cor.5:20, Matt.5:14-16).
The fourth is that you must depart from evil (Ps.1:1-2). You must make a firm commitment to stay away from evil communications and deeds. The Bible commands that you must flee from all appearances of evil (1Thess.5:22). You must never be associated with what is ungodly, no matter the attraction and benefits.
These are the secrets to living a life of wholeness and wellness as you lead your life, and the lives of your wife and children. Are you ready for a life of wellness? Go ahead and do what God commands in His word.
