Bible Texts: Heb.12:2, Eph.5:12, Acts 1:1, Philp.3:17, 1Thess.1:6, Lk.18:1, Jn.1:4, Jn.3:16, Jos.1:6-8, Eph.5:25, Jn.14:26, Mk.9:29, Acts 10:32-36, 2Cor.5:17
Today’s teaching is to remind you and I that Jesus Christ is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman. He is the model of who you and I should be as we lead our wife and children.
Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Heb.12:1-2)
The Scripture says that we should look unto Jesus Christ. Why? It is because He is the complete model of how you must live your life as the man, husband and father. He is perfect. Thank for God earthly examples of good and godly husbandmen but they cannot be compared to Jesus Christ.
As the husbandman, you must understand that the walk of the husbandman is a journey. It is a race you must run. And if you must live your life as the good and godly husbandman after the pattern of Jesus Christ, the perfect Bridegroom, you must know the pathway of Jesus Christ and follow.
BE YE THEREFORE FOLLOWERS OF GOD AS DEAR CHILDREN, AND WALK IN LOVE AS CHRIST ALSO HATH LOVED US, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour (Eph.5:1-2)
But why should I follow and walk in the steps of Jesus Christ as the good and godly husbandman?
The first reason is because Jesus Christ is perfect and He is love. Your pastor, bishop, or father is not perfect because they have their shortcomings and weaknesses. Secondly, God wants you to be like Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. He guides you on the way to go, teaches you the truth and helps you to understand and fulfill your covenant roles as the husbandman. Thirdly, Jesus Christ represents the light and life that you and I need to be useful as husbandmen. Jesus Christ is the life you must have to attract the loyalty, respect, honour and faithfulness you deserve and desire. The more of His life you have manifesting in and through you, the more attractive you become to your wife, children and the world.
But for you to follow the example of and walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ you must have a personal relationship with Him by confessing your sins before Him and making Him to be the Lord over your life (Jn.3:3, Acts 10:32-36, 2Cor.5:17). You must also engage the Person and help of the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you (Jn.14:26). Finally, you must continue to give attention to prayers and the study of the word of God for establishment and empowerment (Jos.1:6-8, Mk.9:29, Lk.18:1).
Walking in the steps of Jesus Christ and following after His examples is the best way you can grow, develop and manifest the characteristics of the good and godly husbandman.
Hallelujah!
