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
As we continue the celebration of the essence of Christianity, that is the trial, persecution, death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ this Easter season, you and I, as husbandmen, must understand that Jesus Christ taught and lived for service. Hence, if you and I must attain the fullness of our assignment as husbandmen after the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, the word of the Lord in Luke chapter 22 shall not only be a song but a life we must live.
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 came to serve. He came to minister to the needs of humanity. And because you are made in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, you have the power to be a servant. As the good and godly husbandman, you must appreciate that being the husbandman is a call to service. It is both a privilege and a call to higher service. And you must embrace this truth faithfully and wholeheartedly.
You must understand that being the husbandman is a privilege given to you by God and He wants you to demonstrate the nature and character of Jesus in good and godly leadership by providing guidance, direction and inspiration to your life, and that of your wife and children.
You must also understand that God wants you to minister to the spiritual, financial, social, physical, emotional, material and mental needs of your life, wife and children (Eph.5:25-29, Eph.6:4, 1Tim.5:8, Deut.6:7, 1Pet.3:7, Gal.4:19, Gen.18:19).
Just like Jesus Christ, who is the perfect example of the good and godly servant-husbandman and has commanded the attention of the world for over 2000 years, the greatness, loyalty, respect and honour you seek from your wife and children will come to you on the platform of service. Therefore, service is the pathway to being called the good and godly man, husband and father. Be a faithful servant! You are not less being a servant but great.
Hallelujah!
