BE THE WITNESS OF THE LIGHT
Bible Texts: Jn.1:1-8, Matt.5:14-16, Gen.12:1-3, Ps.24:1-2, 2Cor.5:17, 1Jn.5:17, Rom.12:21, 1Cor.13:4-8, 1Jn.5:6
Praise God! We give God all the glory for the journey so far in the ongoing 70days of fasting and prayers. We thank God for grace and strength. Today marks the beginning of the last week of the fast. I pray for definite encounters that will bring about miracles, signs and wonders for every participant in Jesus name. Amen.
The times we are living in are dangerous times because truth is scarce and falsehood is gaining. For example, you hear some marriage and relationship teachers mention that love is not enough to keep marriage. Though it sounds innocent and appeals to the conscience of so many people, it is falsehood preached as truth. Sadly, this has continued to water down the sanctity and worth of marriage. It is for this reason that you and I must give attention to the word of God, search the Scriptures by ourselves and depend on the Person of the Holy Spirit for revelation and insight.
This is why today’s teaching is to remind you that you are light and a witness of the truth of God’s plan for the husbandman.
In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the WORD was God. The same was in the beginning with God. In Him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light but was sent to bear witness of that Light (Jn.1:1-8)
This is the lesson for you and I. God made you and I husbandmen, that is a man, husband and father. We did not make ourselves. And in order to make us flourish and complete, God gave us a wife and children so that we can be witnesses and ambassadors of Jesus Christ. God sent us to them to represent Jesus Christ in words, actions and conduct (Gen.2:18, Gen.4:1, Matt.5:14-16).
God wants you to do to your wife and children what Jesus Christ will do were He to be in your position as the good and godly man, husband and father, here on earth. When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was merciful, loving, compassionate, forgiving, caring, respectful, faithful, righteous, holy, gracious, generous, understanding of our weaknesses, praying for the people, providing for their needs, and leading the people with courage, hope and faith as the good shepherd. That is who you are and represent. Praise God!
You and I are made by God to be witnesses of Jesus Christ, first in our homes and as we relate with our wife, children and in the market place of life. Therefore, let us make our lives count for the truth of God’s instructions and commandments because that is what makes us the good and godly husbandmen in the times we are in. Let you and I strive to keep the honour and sanctity of the marriage covenant by the power of the love of Jesus Christ because the love of Christ is enough to protect the marriage relationship and make it flourish, joyous and fruitful.
I want every husbandman reading today’s devotional to think on these Scriptures (Gen.2:14-18, Jn.10:2, Jn.10:27-29, 1Cor.13:4-8, Eph.5:25-29, Heb.13:4, 1Jn.4:8, 1Jn.4:19-21)
Hallelujah!
