YOU NEED HIS HELP TO SUCCEED

Main Scriptures: Rev.5:8-10

More Scriptures: Jn.14:26, Lk.10:19, Gen.1:28

As a husbandman and the head of the family, I have discovered that without the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit, there is little or nothing you can achieve in your sheepfold as the godly man, husband and father. Infact, you and I cannot make the most of our headship as spiritual leaders, shepherds, priests, and pastors. Your ability to lead your wife and children and provide the necessary leadership they would need, goes beyond your academic qualification, physical size, money or background. The Scripture says, by strength shall no man prevail (1Sam.2:9). The Bible also says that, it is not of him that willeth or him that runneth but God that showeth mercy (Rom.9:16). As the good and godly husband, there is so much good you want to do for your flock but somehow you just seem to be failing every step of the way. A lot of the times, this repeated failure leads to frustration. This is the more reason you need the empowerment of the Holy Ghost to run the office of the priesthood profitably.

In John 14:26, the Scripture tells us of the promise of God for you and I, who have been ordained as heads of our sheepfold. I will send the Comforter…. (Jn.14:26). The Comforter here refers to the Person of the Holy Spirit. He is also described as the Strengthener. But how do I get empowered to become all that God wants me to be as a godly husband?

Firstly, you must desperately crave for empowerment. You must hunger for the help of God. In Matthew 5:6, the word of God says, blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. And in Psalms 61:1-2, the Scripture says, Oh God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee, my soul thirsted for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is, to see thy power and thy glory so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Secondly, you must engage the spiritual demand of fasting and prayers. As a husband and the leader in your home, you face more challenges than your flock. There are mountains and hills standing as barriers to your success as the godly husbandman, that you must overcome. Very importantly, fasting and prayer provides you the platform to grow in power for a triumphant living (Mk.9:29). Now is the time for you to arise, depend on the power of the Holy Spirit and contend for your glorious heritage as the godly husbandman.
