BE YE PERFECT AS JESUS CHRIST IS

Bible Texts: Lk.6:40, Eph.5:25, Gen.17:1-3, 2Cor.5:17, Jn.10:10, Mk.9:29, Ps.1:1-3, Philp.2:13, Jn.15:2-5. Matt.5:14-16, Gal.4:19

The perfect will of God for you as the husbandman is to be like His Son, Jesus Christ. God wants you to reflect Jesus’ nature, conduct and character on earth. God wants your life to reflect how Jesus Christ would conduct Himself were He to be here on earth as the man, husband and father. God wants you to grow in stature after the likeness of Jesus Christ, who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman. This, Jesus Christ confirmed in Luke chapter 6.

The disciple is not above his master but EVERYONE THAT IS PERFECT SHALL BE AS HIS MASTER (Lk.6:40)

As the husbandman, Jesus Christ is your master. The Bible describes Him as the husbandman, who demonstrated how the man, husband and father should conduct his life. In Ephesians chapter 5 and verse 25, the Scripture helps you to understand Jesus Christ as your master. Husbands love thy wife AS CHRIST HAS LOVED THE CHURCH (Eph.5:25). If there is anyone whom you must emulate in your leadership role as good and godly husbandman is Jesus Christ.

But for you to be as Jesus Christ, your Master, you must first and very importantly have a personal relationship with Him.

If any man be in Christ………(2Cor.5:17)

You must love Jesus Christ with the whole of your heart, might, soul, body and spirit.

Secondly, you must be willing and committed to doing all that God commands you to do as the man, husband and father, even if they appear not convenient for you or unpopular.

But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving you own selves (Jas.1:22)

You must press hard to do the perfect will of God for your life as the husbandman so that you can be as Him.

Thirdly, you must engage in word study, prayers and fasting so that you can access the power that makes action possible.

It is Jesus Christ who gives you the power both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philp.2:13)

You are the image and likeness of Jesus Christ in your home and in the market place. Therefore, be ye perfect as Jesus Christ is perfect.

Hallelujah!
