Bible Texts: 1Tim.6:1-12-16, Matt.5:14-16, 2Tim.3:5, 1Pet.1:15-17, Heb.11:6, Num.23:19, Jn.14:6, Mk.12:30, 1Cor.13:4-8, Eph.6:4, Rom.12:21, Heb.12:2
As the husbandman, there are things that God wants you to pursue towards the goal of becoming the good and godly man, husband and father. And that is what we shall be exploring today by looking into the word of God.
Now what are the things God wants you to pursue with the whole of your heart, might, spirit and body? 1st Timothy chapter 6 and verse 11 provides the answer.
But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these things. Pursue righteousness, and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance and gentleness (1Tim.6:11) NLT
From the word of God in 1st Timothy chapter 6 and verse 11, there are five things God wants you to pursue as the good and godly husbandman.
Firstly, God wants you to pursue after righteousness. This means that you must do what is right from the perspective of the word of God in every area of life, be it personal, in business, academic pursuits, relationships, at work, with your parents, wife and children, in your service to your nation or community and in governance (Matt.5:14-16).
Secondly, God also wants you to pursue godliness. God doesn’t want you to have a form of godliness (2Tim.3:5). He wants you to be godly in deeds and in truth. God is holy so whatever you think, say or do, must reflect the nature of God (1Pet.1:15-17).
Thirdly, God wants you to pursue faith because without faith you cannot please Him (Heb.11:6). You must grow in your trust in God and His word. You must trust Him that He will do what He says (Num.23:19).
Fourthly, God wants you to persevere in all things. To persevere means to remain focus on the goals despite unfavourable conditions (Heb.12:2). Challenges are real. Nevertheless, God wants you to remain focus on the goals that He has set for you.
Finally, God wants you to be gentle. Gentleness is a spiritual virtue you must crave for and possess as the husbandman. It gives you quietness in your spirit and helps you hear the voice of God.
And as you pursue these things, you become the perfect husbandman (1Tim.6:14).
Hallelujah!
