Praise be unto God who has brought us this far, bringing us to see the last day in the second half of the year 2021. I have no doubt in my heart that you have been richly empowered, inspired and motivated by the teachings and pray that the fruits thereof shall make you become the good and godly man, husband and father to your wife and children and in the marketplace of life. Amen.
Yesterday, we considered one of the spiritual weapons that God has provided for every husbandman to escape the power of the strange woman. Let us consider the other weapons. Walk in the Spirit! In Gal.5:16, the word of God has this to say. This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Gal.5:16). The Spirit of Christ is the power of God that is able to save, deliver and restore (Rom.1:16). As the godly husbandman, you must constantly be in tune with the Holy Spirit. He is the only Person who can strengthen you and empower you to say no when you ought to say no and refuse the enticement of the strange woman or her agents. There is an invincible force that pulls the husbandman to fall into the ditch of the strange woman, so you will need a higher force to dislodge its influence. And that comes when you deepen your relationship with the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Thirdly, you must delight yourself in the law of the Lord. In Ps.119:97-98, the Scripture says, O how love I thy law. It is my meditation all day long. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies, for they are ever with me (Ps.119:97-98). You must deliberately love God and His word. You must make the word of God as contained in the Bible an indispensable part of your life, because the word of God contains the Spirit of God. The Bible must be your eternal constitution. It should be like the air you breathe. As you love the word and dig deeper daily, it will wash you clean and help renew your mind (Rom.12:1-3). Another demand for your escape is to war in the spirit. When you war in the spirit, you engage the power of the world to come. This means praying in the Holy Ghost. The Scripture says that when we speak in tongues, we speak mysteries. The language of the Spirit cannot be comprehended by the devil. Infact, when you begin to speak in the language of the Spirit, you set confusion right in the midst of the enemy’s camp. This is what you need after you have prayed in the language of your understanding.
Satan hates the truth that you are the head of your family. He sees you as a threat and he will do anything to remove you from your glorious position as the good and godly husbandman. He wants to be in charge in your family kingdom. You must never allow him to have his way. You must cooperate with God and the forces of the Spirit to remain on top and in charge.
