Bible Texts: 1Tim.3:1-5, Matt.5:14-16, Col.3:19, 1Cor.13:4-8, Eph.5:25, Deut.6:1-7, Eph.6:4, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:29, Acts 1:1
Today’s teaching will be in the form of self-evaluation for you and I, whom God has given the privilege to lead as husbandmen. It is inspired by the definition given by Dr. Myles Munroe, when he defines husband as “house bond”, one who binds the home together. And our Bible passage is taken from the 1st book of Timothy, chapter 3, and verses 1 through 5. The direction of the teaching will be through questions, and I want to encourage you to answer sincerely and truthfully.
This is a true saying, if a man desire the OFFICE OF A BISHOP, he desireth a GOOD WORK. A bishop then MUST BE BLAMELESS, the HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE, VIGILANT, SOBER, of GOOD BEHAVIOR, GIVEN TO HOSPITALITY, APT TO TEACH, NOT GIVEN TO WINE, NO STRIKER, NOT GREEDY OF FILTHY LUCRE, but PATIENT, NOT A BRAWLER, NOT COVETOUS, ONE THAT RULETH WELL HIS OWN HOUSE, HAVING HIS CHILDREN IN SUBJECTION WITH ALL GRAVITY (1Tim.3:1-5)
The Scripture in 1st Timothy chapter 3 above provides you and I, who are occupying the office of the husbandman, a basis to evaluate ourselves to see if we are still the good and godly husbandmen. This is because becoming the husbandman is a good thing, but it requires a lot of work from you and I.
Now, let us start the exercise.
The husbandman who wants to be good and godly must be blameless. Are you blameless? Can your wife, children and those you relate to speak well about you? Can they vouch for your character? When your name is mentioned in the marketplace, does it speak of good and righteousness or of sin and bad report (Matt.5:14-16)?
Let us continue the exercise tomorrow.
