Bible Texts: Jude 1:20-21, 2Tim.2:15, Jn.5:39, Jn.15:5, Rom.12:2, 2Cor.3:18, Philp.3:10-14, Jos.1:6-8, Mk.9:29, Lk.18:1, Ex.28:1, Is.1:18-19, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19
But ye beloved, building up yourself on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost; keep yourself in the love of God for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life (Jude 1:20-21)
Yesterday, we understood from Scriptures that every husbandman has a personal responsibility to build himself in Christ Jesus. We discovered that the husbandman who wants to become the good and godly man, husband and father, must be committed to searching the Scriptures, which is the word of God, obey all God commands and receive by faith the word of God.
Now what are the blessings of building myself in the word of God, in complete obedience to all of God’s commandments and in receiving the word of God into my spirit?
Firstly, you are filled with the knowledge of the truth of God’s word, which leads to a transformed life (Jn.8:32, Rom.12:1-2)
Search the Scriptures, in them ye think ye have eternal life (Jn.5:39)
The more you look into the word of God for the things spoken concerning you as the man, husband and father, the more you are transformed into the image of Jesus Christ in your conduct, action, thought and relationships with your wife and children and in the marketplace (2Cor.3:18).
Secondly, you are filled with spiritual virtues of prayers and fasting which empowers you to contend for your inheritance as the godly husbandman.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3)
Prayer is not just transactional with God it is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Prayer is not just to get your financial and material needs met, it is also a platform God has provided for you to receive the power to bear the fruits of the Spirit of Christ like faithfulness, forgiveness, tender- mercy, compassion, loving-kindness, diligence, courage, holiness, giving, faith, hope and joy (Mk.9:29, Jn.15:5, Gal.5:20-22, Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13).
As the husbandman, you must stop making excuses for your irresponsible life because it is not the way to go to becoming the good and godly man, husband and father. You must take a firm decision today to build yourself in your most holy faith by being diligently committed to doing the perfect will of God for your life as the man, husband and father, regardless of the cost.
Hallelujah!
