Bible Texts: Pro.23:26, Matt.15:18-20, Jn.15:5, Mk.7:6, Heb.10:22, Rom.12:1-3, Pro.4:19-21, Matt.5:14-16, Gal.4:19
Yesterday, you and I as husbandmen understood from Scriptures that the perfect will of God is for us to pursue and hunger after truth and righteousness.
But why must you and I thirst after purity and righteous living? It is because you and I are living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God.
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)
So, this morning God is asking you to present your life as a holy living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service to Him. God is asking you to give Him your heart because that is where the journey for your thirst and hunger for righteousness begins.
My son, give me thine heart and let thine eyes observe my ways (Pr.23:26)
Do you know why the condition of your heart influences your thoughts, words and actions? This is why.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things that defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not a man (Matt.15:18-20)
God wants your heart so that He can feed it with graceful seeds that will mould you to have self control over your emotions. God wants your heart so that He can whisper to you His wisdom on how to respond to the issues of life. God wants your heart so that He can clean you up from every form of filthiness because you have His mind. This is how you can be established as the good and godly man, husband and father in righteousness.
As the husbandman, you cannot be better than the quality of what is in your heart. So, as you give God your heart, He will help you to reorder your thoughts, words, actions and conduct to make them fit for yourself and for the good of others, thereby making you the good and godly husbandman, bringing glory and praise to Jesus Christ.

FAITH CONFESSION
