OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY JULY 6TH 2025

TOPIC: THE HUSBANDMAN

MEMORISE:
“And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?”
Luke 12:42

BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 24:45-47 (KJV)

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

MESSAGE:
A husbandman is someone who tills the ground and takes care of crops. In church, the husbandmen are the workers who ensure that everything goes well in Christ’s vineyard. When worship rises to God from His vineyard, He pours down blessings, and the first partakers are usually the husbandmen (2 Timothy 2:6).

When I joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God, the workers in the church were called Children of God. This is because it is children who ensure that everything goes well in their father's house; only visitors come and go without care. Hence, no good father will see his children hungry and prefer to feed strangers; children are usually the first partakers of a household's blessings. When a Canaanite woman came to Jesus, pleading with Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter, He told her that it was not fair to give what belongs to the children to dogs (Matthew 15:26). Some privileges belong to children alone, and similarly, only God's children who worship and serve Him wholeheartedly have access to special privileges from Him.

In (2 Timothy 2:6), the Bible says that the husbandman who labours should be the first partaker of the fruits. This implies that there are some husbandmen who do not labour. God expects certain things from husbandmen. First of all, He expects them to be diligent as they tend to the responsibilities that He has given them in His vineyard. These can be within a department in the church - it can be arranging the chairs, washing the toilets, taking care of children, or serving as ushers. If you are a husbandman, whatever your duty is, do it diligently. When you labour diligently, you will be a first partaker of the fruits of God's blessings.

God also expects faithfulness from husbandmen (1 Corinthians 4:2). When God gives you a task, He wants you to do it faithfully. Being faithful is proving yourself worthy of trust. It also involves managing resources efficiently. When you are faithful, God can trust you with people, ideas, and resources; He can trust you to do His will. When you are faithful in the little God gives you, He will trust you with more (Luke 16:10-11).

Beloved, ensure that you labour diligently and faithfully as a husbandman in God's vineyard so you can be a first partaker of His blessings. If you are not yet a worker in your local assembly, now is the time to take up some responsibilities in your church.

KEY POINT:
To be a first partaker of God's blessings, you must serve Him diligently and faithfully as a husbandman in His vineyard.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
PROVERBS 21-23

HYMN: 4
TO THE WORK! TO THE WORK! WE ARE SERVANTS OF GOD

1 To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.
Refrain:
Toiling on, toiling on,
Toiling on, toiling on:
Let us hope, let us watch,
And labor till the Master comes.

2 To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;
To the fountain of life let the weary be led;
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!" [Refrain]

3 To the work! to the work! there is labor for all;
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,
In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!" [Refrain]

4 To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward;
When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,
And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!" [Refrain]

May we not labour in vain. I remember last year when my friend was at the rccg choir left the camp few minutes to the end only to be told that pastor adeboye wife ordered all the choir should be given #20,000 each. The thing pained my friend because our colleague and his wife got.

Husbandman!

I read this for my wife and she's still rolling on the floor laughing her ass out

Indeed, it is good to be a diligent and committed worker in divine vineyard.

Very inspirational. I wonder at this man's wisdom even till old age. God bless you sir for useful knowledge from the scriptures

They should share in the tithe and offerings too since they are children and workers in the vineyard

Real marketers in the temple of God , people selling God, making money in the name of God fighting had to keep their bank account. loaded. I wonder when these people will tell the poor Nigerian the real truth.

The truth that Oyibo brought religion to Africa for enslavement and that they capitalize on it to make money and build mansion for themselves.

This is an allegory about life. The moment that would change your life will be instantaneous and unexpected. It's not about how hard you've worked but about how faithful you are to the entire process.
You don't know when that moment you've been praying for and working towards would come. So what do we do? Be ever vigilant and ever ready.
Happy Sunday.

Are you people OK at all? All the money your choir friend donated to the church in all that the no pass Naira 20,000? And this isn't to add all of his other expenses like transportation cost, clothing, and miscellaneous. If he had left that scam a long time ago, he would have saved himself so much more than 20,000.

Happy Sunday to you all in Jesus Name.

LESSON
I hope your friend learnt his lessons!

I shared today from this Open Heavens that we must have a heartitude that as husbandman/woman in church, you're not working for the church or the pastor BUT for GOD. Until a Christian gets to the level of not expecting thank you from his/her leaders for service done in the name of Christ, the heart may not be right.

*Don't leave where you're supposed to be at all times.

The day I missed weekday service for no tangible reason because I wasn't just feeling happy due to financial constraints, I received a call from a family friend that she had brought tubers of yam to church for me and since I wasn't where I was supposed to be at that time, she gave it to another person.

I learnt my lesson that day.
SERVING GOD IS A SPIRITUAL & FAITH JOURNEY AND NOT A THING OF THE FLESH OR FEELINGS.

1 Corinthians 1:18,25 KJV
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

[25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Fraudsters always playing in the weaknesses of people -- manipulating them by way of words and spiritual gobbledegook -- for their personal benefits... That is what your scammers-in-the-lords -- this man too-- are.

You people should stop posting anything about God from this man. Its very shameful to see people like this preaching.

What exactly is he talking?. Let your behaviour be your voice. People are being killed in Benue etc and your silence is devilish

What you're saying now, and even worse, was once said by Dr. E. A Adeboye years ago as he and his colleagues drank beer in the UNILAG staff club, until a problem took him to God.

Don't worry. When God is ready for you, He will make you eat your words against His true ministers. Shalom!

1. And then afterwards Adeboye built up his very own kingdom by defrauding and manipulating the gullible folks he came across? OK! 🥱🥱🥱🥱

2. I already come across that god many times and will continue to reject it as I see no reason why I should bilk people and destroy lives to make myself feel better. 🥱🥱🥱

husbandman is a correct old English for a man that cultivate or manage a land, working as a farmer

Please take your Calamity life off here. If you are angry at God, that's your personal problem. Leave others to enjoy their God.

Why are you perpetually ignorant?
I wonder why you are crying more than the bereaved. I thought Paul Eneche is from otukpo in Benue state. If hate has not finished your destiny, shouldn't you leave adeboye from osun state alone and drag Eneche from same Benue? Hypocrite oshi
