Bible Texts: Eph.5:14-17, 1Cor.15:33, Rom.12:1-3, Matt.6:22, Jn.7:9-11, Is.43:18-19, 2Cor.5:20, 2Tim.4:7-8, Philps.3:14, Ps.1:1-3
Praise be unto Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour for bringing us to a new year, 2024, the year of ON EAGLE’S WINGS for the Mission and you. Happy New Year!
As the husbandman, what shall you and I begin to do? How do we make our lives fruitful as good and godly men, husbands and fathers?
The Scripture has given the way in Ephesians chapter 5.
Wherefore, he saith awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is (Eph.5:14-17)
From the above Bible verse comes important instructions for you and I, as we journey through this new year, 2024.
The first is that your life as the husbandman is measured by time. Secondly, what you and I will become as the good and godly man, husband and father depends on how we will spend our time this year. Thirdly, your time and mine can be stolen, lost and abused if we do not redeem the time allotted for the year 2024, which is 366 days.
Now, what does it mean to redeem the time? It simply means to use time wisely, set right priorities, pursue the perfect will of God, identify right values and let it influence decisions.
You and I must not run the journey of 2024 carelessly. You and I have 24 hours each day and 366 days. We must make good use of the time of each day, week and month by giving attention to learning and doing those things that will build us up to becoming the good and godly men, husbands and fathers.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ (Philp.2:5)
Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman, redeemed the time He spent while He walked the earth (Jn.7:9-11). Every day counted for Him. He went about each day with clear purpose why He came and in 3 and half years, He did so much more that the world is yet to recover from. He made eternal impact on humanity. That is the mind you must have this New Year 2024.
This is your year! This is the time to rebuild your life and live as the good and godly man, husband and father. Make this year count profitably for yourself, as the good and godly husbandman.
Happy New Year!
