Bible Texts: Lev.1:1-3, 1Jn.5:17, 2Cor.7:1, Rom.12:2, 2Pet.3:14, Ps.24:1-3, Dan.1:8, Rom.10:10, Ps.133:1, Ps.1:1-3, 1Cor.15:33, Rev.12:11
The Lord called to Moses from the Tabernacle and said to him, give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you present an animal as an offering to the Lord, you may take it from your herd of cattle or your flock of sheep and goats. If the animal you present as a burnt offering is from the herd, it must a male WITH NO DEFECTS. Bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle as you may be accepted by the Lord (Lev.1:1-3) NLT
One of the forces you must resist steadfastly as the husbandman is sin and all forms of unrighteousness (1 Jn.5:17).
As the husbandman, you must be very careful how you live your life. You must understand that living a riotous and unrighteous life not only displeases God but also creates a barrier between you and God and negatively affects the quality of your relationships in the marketplace and with your wife and children.
But what are the two levels of defilement you must resist steadfastly?
Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God (2Cor.7:1) NLT
From the Word of God, there are two types of defilement you must steadfastly resist. They are the filthiness of the spirit and the filthiness of the body (2Cor.7:1). There are actions you take that corrupt your spirit and there are also actions you take and relationships you get into that defile your body. For example, drunkenness, stealing, adultery, lying, and physically abusing your wife are actions that defile your body. Bitterness, malice, unforgiveness, envy, doubt, emotionally abusing others, pride and bad will are actions or thoughts that defile your spirit (Gal.5:22-23). These actions lead to spiritual and physical death because the wages of sin is death.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (Rom.12:1)
God wants you to live the abundant life. God wants you to reflect His kingdom culture on earth. God wants you to be a worthy ambassador of Jesus Christ on earth and a light to the world. That is God’s perfect will for you.
But what must I do to keep cleansing my spirit from the filthiness of the spirit and of the body so my outward appearance, conduct, actions, speech and relationships show that I am a transformed citizen of the kingdom of God on earth?
You must have and continue to maintain a healthy relationship with God through Jesus Christ (Jn.3:5-8, 2Cor.5:17). You must identify with and join a Bible believing church, where the truth of the word of God is taught (Ps.133:1, Jn.8:32). You must devote your time for personal study of the Bible, meditating on the word of God and acting faithfully and consistently (Jos.1:6-8, Ps.1:1-3). You must make a firm commitment to desist from all forms of unrighteousness just like Daniel determined in his heart that he will not defile himself with the king’s meat (Dan.1:8, Gal.4:19). You must daily confess your righteous stand in God through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary (Rom.10:10). You must identify with fellow husbandmen who have testimonies of a righteous walk with God because iron sharpens iron (1Cor.15:33). You must daily plead the blood of Jesus Christ over your thoughts and actions so that they conform to the perfect will of God for you as the good and godly man, husband and father (Rev.12:11).
Walking in obedience to the instructions of Scriptures always makes you grow and develop into the full stature of the good and godly husbandman. Therefore, walk in righteousness because it is profitable unto all things.
Hallelujah!
