Bible Texts: Heb.4:12-14, Gen.8:22, Lk.8:11, Jn.5:39, Ps.119:105, Pro.4:20-23, Ps.12:6, 2Pet.1:7, Jas.3:7, Rev.12:10, Jn.5:39, Job 14:14, Job 6:25
In the next two days, we shall be exploring the powerfulness of God’s word and how you and I can engage with the word of God to make the most of our calling as the husbandman and become good and godly men, husbands and fathers.
Let’s begin by stating two very important lessons of life that will help you understand why you need to plant the word of God. The first is that life will never give you what you want but what you demand. The second is that life responds to seed time and harvest. If you want a harvest, sow a seed and that is why today you and I are encouraged to plant the seed of God’s word in our lives even as we lead ourselves, wife and children.
While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease (Gen.8:22) KJV
As the husbandman, if you desire to reap good and godly harvest in your life as the man, husband and father, you have the responsibility to plant the word of God because God’s words are like seeds (Lk.8:4-11, Jn.9:4). And it is the most powerful seed you can plant that will yield the desired results you want as the good and godly man, husband and father.
But why should I plant the word of God into my life as the man, husband and father?
For the word of God is quick and powerful……(Heb.4:12)
The word of God is powerful. The word of God is more potent to bring good and godly changes in your life as the man, husband and father much more than your money, material or fame. Regardless of the circumstances you are in, God’s word can give you victory. By the word of God you can restore and recover your dignity as the man, husband and father and destroy the tendencies of the flesh.
The second reason is that the word of God is a force.
How forceful are right words (Job 6:25)
You can chase away ungodly influences from your life as the husbandman. The word of God when believed and acted upon can break the forces of satan, sin and the world that want to corrupt your glorious heritage as the good and godly man, husband father.
For you to plant the word of God and reap the benefit of what the word of God will do, you must do the following.
Let’s continue tomorrow.
