GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO SERVE

Bible Texts: Lk.22:26-27, Gen.2:14-16, Jn.10:14, Is.40:11, Heb.13:20, Rom.9:16, Ecc.9:11, Eph.5:25-29, Eph.6:4, 1Tim.5:8, Deut.6:7, 1Pet.3:7, Gal.4:19, Gen.18:19, 2Tim.2:15, Hos.4:6

The Person of the Holy Spirit wants to remind you and I who are husbandmen that we are made the head to serve and that is what makes the husbandman the good and godly man, husband and father.

But ye shall not be so, but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For who is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as HE THAT SERVETH (Lk.22:26-27)

Jesus Christ asked the disciples what is the greatest quality of a good and godly leader. And He concluded by saying service is. As the good and godly husbandman, you must appreciate that being the husbandman is a call to service. As the husbandman, you are a servant, ministering to the spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, material and social needs of your wife and children in the love of Christ (Eph.5:25-29, Eph.6:4, 1Tim.5:8, Deut.6:7, 1Pet.3:7, Gal.4:19, Gen.18:19). You are to serve their best interests at all times.

As the good and godly husbandman, you must not manipulate, control and abuse those you are leading. You must also remember that serving the best interest of your wife and children does not reduce your value as the husbandman.

Your greatness as the man, husband and father is built on the foundation of true service and that is what God has sent you to do. Therefore, make your life a worthy servant, bringing glory and praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

SPIRITUAL EXRCISE

• Father, in the Name of Jesus, baptize me with a new zeal to uphold my office with a servant mentality.
• Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to serve the best interest of my wife and children.
• Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to make the most of headship as the husbandman.

FAITH CONFESSION

I am grateful to God for making me the husbandman and by this privilege, I embrace the responsibilities that come with the ministry to serve in all aspects of my relationships as the man, husband and father because that is what makes me the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
