LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, THINK ON THESE THINGS

Bible Texts: Philp.4:6-8, Jn.15:5, Jos.1:6-8, 3Jn.1:2Ps.1:1-3, 2Tim.2:15, Dan.1:8, Ps.51:10, Matt.5:14-16, Rom.15:14, Rom.6:1, 2Cor.5:17

Praise God! I welcome you to the new month of April 2024, our year of ON EAGLE’S WINGS. For all that God has done for us, with us and through us in the 1^st quarter of 2024, we return to give Him all the glory.

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that the new month shall be better than the past months in all aspect of your life. Amen.

But what is the Person of the Holy Spirit saying to you and I this new month which will help us grow and become the good and godly man, husband and father?

This is what He wants you to do. God wants you to think on these things,

 Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there be anything virtue and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY, MEDITATE on these things (Philp.4:8)

From the above Word of God, these things have been mentioned as worthy of your thought. They are truth, noble, just, purity, lovely and good report. God wants you to think and meditate on them before you take a decision because as a man thinks in his heart so is he.

As the godly husbandman, you are daily faced with decisions to make for your life, towards your relationship with your wife and children, in your finances, on your journeys and even in your relationships with others. God wants you to let the basis in Philippians chapter 4 and verse 8 to guide your thought and action. This is because the things you think and meditate on will influence your decisions. If they are positives, it will lead to peace, joy and success. If they are negatives, it will result to chaos, fighting, bitterness, unforgiveness, malice and so much unhappiness and tension.

Therefore, as the new month begins, resolve to test your action and decision against the instruction of Scriptures in Philippians chapter 4 and verse 8. Before you jump on that decision and action ask yourself is it true, noble, just, pure, lovely and of good report. If it is from the view of the word of God and not as the world thinks, go ahead and act. But if it is not, no matter what satan, sin and the world think, do not give it a thought or act on it.

God has great plans for you. He wants you to represent Him profitably in your home and in the market place as the good and godly man, husband and father. God wants you to prosper as the husbandman. But you have a role to play and that is to always ask, were Jesus Christ to be in my shoes, what will He do. That is how you can make good and godly decisions as the good and godly husbandman and grow unto maturity.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

• Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to hold unto what is always right as the godly man, husband and father.

FAITH CONFESSION

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and I have the mind of Christ to think and meditate on only what is true, pure, lovely, noble and of good report because that is what builds me up into becoming the good and godly man, husband and father in Jesus name. Amen.
