WEARING THE GARMENT OF JESUS CHRIST
Bible Texts: Col.3:10-14, Matt.5:16, Mk.9:29, Jer.43:12, Ezk.18:7, Acts 1:1, Jos.1:6-8, 2Tim.2:15, 2Cor.5:17, Eph.5:25, Col.4:19, Eph.6:4, Num.6:22
As we continue in the ongoing 70 days of fasting and prayers, there is a clarion call on the husbandman to wake up and follow after Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman. God wants to use this season of spiritual exercise to prune us of childish and ungodly behaviours and empower us to put on the garment of righteousness and good works because we are in a perilous time (Matt.5:14-16).
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering, forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness (Col.3:11-14)
The above Bible text mentions the character of the garment you must put on as the good and godly husbandman. God wants you to put on mercies, kindness, humility of heart, loyalty, truthfulness, meekness, patience, endurance, understanding, forgiveness, and love. These are the attitude that makes you the good and godly husbandman.
But for you to be able to put on the nature of Christ live out these virtues as the husbandman, you must give yourself to these important spiritual demands.
The first is that you must have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ by repenting of your sinful ways and accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and saviour (Jn.3:4-9, 2Cor.5:17). Secondly, you must give attention to the study and meditation of the word of God because this is the only way you can know and increase in the knowledge of the Person and principles of Jesus Christ (Jn.5:39, 2Tim.2:15). Thirdly, you must give yourself to a lifestyle of prayer and fasting in order to access the power from God that will empower you to be like His Son, Jesus Christ in all things and at all times (Mk.9:29, Jn.15:5, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19). Fourthly, you must continue to confess in faith your right standing with God as the good and godly husbandman (Rom.10:10, 2Cor.4:13, Heb.11:1-6). Finally, you must identify with fellow husbandmen and associations that will inspire and motivate you to be like Jesus Christ in your words, walk, works and conduct.
Therefore, make a decision today to wear the garment of Jesus Christ which is His nature and you will be blessed you did and name of Jesus Christ shall be glorified in your life as the good and godly man, husband and father.
Praise be unto Jesus Christ our Saviour. Hallelujah!
