BE CONSISTENT IN GODLY CHARACTER (2)

Bible Texts: Job 31:1-7, Matt.6:22, Jas.1:7, Jer.11:12, Rom.12: 21, Gen.14:22-23, Pro.1:10, Is.3:10, Philp.4:8, 1Tim.6:11

Yesterday, we began the month of July 2025, reminding every husbandman that the perfect will of God for them is to be consistent in godly character. We examined an example of a good and godly husbandman in the Bible who consistently demonstrated godly character. His name was Job. We discovered that Job was the good and godly husbandman who was consistent in godly character. He maintained his lot in righteousness and remained steadfast in pleasing God, despite the challenges that confronted him.

I will wait on God until my change comes (Job 14:14)

This is the testimony of Job, and that must be your desire as you walk the path to becoming the good and godly man, husband, and father, and in all your pursuits. God wants you to wait on Him through Jesus Christ because He is a covenant-keeping God and a promise-keeper.

For the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord (Jas.1:6-7) New Heart English Bible

The Book of James says that an unstable man, that is a man who lacks consistency in good and godly character, will not receive from God. God doesn’t want that for you. He wants you to receive all things that make for the good and godly husbandman, and so He demands that you pursue righteousness and be consistent in doing what the word of God commands.

But how do I maintain consistency in good and godly character?

Firstly, you must be visionary. What this means is that you must always have the future in view and be posterity conscious (Jer. 1:11-12). As the husbandman, you must understand that your life and conduct both in the secret and the open have direct or indirect consequences either for the now or the future; hence, you must be careful what you do or say. Maintaining consistency in godly character earns you the trust of the people and creates goodwill for you.

Secondly, you must model and anchor your life after Jesus Christ by bringing your thoughts, will, emotions, and body under subjection to the word of God (1Cor.9:27, Rom. 12:2,21). You must make the word of God your final authority on all matters, however discomforting it may be for you or anyone, for that matter. God does not desire that you should be unstable in your character. God does not want you to be inconsistent in doing what is righteous. God does not want you to compromise because of what you stand to gain.

As the husbandman, you must continue to strive for godliness in all that you do. You must maintain steadfastness and focus in living out the word of God as the good and godly man, husband, and father. It is the way to go for a profitable living.

Hallelujah!
