CAN GOD TESTIFY OF YOU?

Bible Texts: Gen.18:19, Job 1:8, Gal.4:19, Jos.24:15, Matt.22:37, Philp.2:13, Eph.6:4, Matt.5:14-16, Eph.5:25, Matt.6:22, Matt.6:33, 1Tim.3:1-6, Col.3:19, 1Pet.3:7-9

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him (Gen.18:19)

The above Scripture talks about the confidence God had in the husbandman called Abraham. God could testify that he will not only obey His commandments but he will also lead his family to follow the Lord (1Tim.3:1-6).

In Job chapter 1, God also testifies of another husbandman called Job. God said,

And the Lord said to satan, hast thou considered my servant Job that there is none like in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and eschewed evil? (Job 1:8)

Now, this is the question you must ask yourself as the husbandman. Can God testify that you will keep and obey all His commandments for you as the man, husband and father? Can God testify that you will lead your family in the way and admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ? Can God be pleased with you and the way you are leading your life as the man, husband and father? You must remember that your testimony before God and your family is doing the perfect will of God.

As the husbandman, you are representing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit on earth through your actions, conduct and leadership in your home and the marketplace. You must therefore love the Lord Jesus Christ with the whole of your heart, mind, soul and spirit. And this must reflect in your thoughts, conduct and actions.

Always remember that the testimony of Jesus Christ is the testimony you must demonstrate as you lead your life and the lives of your wife and children. Let God testify of you as He did for Abraham and Job, bringing glory to Him.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
