Bible Texts: Mk. 13:36-37, Matt.15:11, Am.6:1, 1Cor.15:33, Matt.15:18, Jn.14:26, Heb.4:12, Mk.9:29, Gal.4:19, Philp.1:18-19, 2Cor.5:17, Ps.42:1, Ps.14:34, Matt.5:6, Rom.12:1, Heb.12:1-2, Rom.12:21, Rom.8:1, Eph.4:22-24, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.6:1-2, Is.51:1-2, Gal.3:13, 2Cor.9:8
Yesterday, while I was studying the Book of Romans chapter 12, I discovered that it is quite easy to conform to the systems, values, and principles of this world rather than of God, if we are not watchful. This is why you and I must continue to guard our thoughts by the truth of God’s word so we are transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, which is the perfect will of God.
Oswald Chambers said, and I quote, “Maintain a continual watchfulness so that nothing of which you would be ashamed arises in your life”.
Watch ye therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house cometh at even or at midnight or at the cockcrowing or in the morning. Lest coming suddenly he find sleeping. And what I say unto you I say to unto all, watch (Mk.13:35-37)
But how do I maintain watchfulness, as the husbandman?
You must watch the information you receive into your life. This includes the books you read, the films you watch, and the messages you listen to. The information you receive into your inner man influences the quality of your thoughts and how you respond to the issues of life (Matt.15:11-18). You must continue to engage the ministry and help of the Person of the Holy Ghost to help you discern right from wrong (Jn.14:26, Heb.4:12). You must also engage in continuous study of the word of the God and pray earnestly for the word of God to gain root in your heart and bear fruits in your outward life (Ezk.2:2, Ps.119:105, Mk.9:29, Gal.4:19, 2Tim.2:15).
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away and behold all things are become new (2Cor.5:17)
However, the first step to enjoy the help of God through Jesus Christ, so you can be watchful and guard your life from conforming to the world, is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and saviour. This means that you must be born again and accept Jesus Christ into your life (see the prayer of salvation below and pray it sincerely and mean every word).
God has empowered you to live a life of victory. God wants you to live in the newness of life in Christ Jesus because you represent Him in your home and in the marketplace.
Hallelujah!
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, deliver me from the force of carnality.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to be spiritual and continually be on the watchtower.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, make me a profitable watchman.
FAITH CONFESSION
I maintain continued watchfulness over who I relate with, where I go, what I read, hear and listen to so that my life can reflect the nature of Jesus Christ in thoughts, action and responses as I walk the pathway to becoming the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
