THE HUSBAND WHO FASTS AND PRAYS (2)

Bible Texts: Acts 14:22-23, Mk.9:29, Lk.9:28-29, 2Cor.11:27

Jesus Christ, the perfect example of a good and godly husband was a man who gave Himself to the spiritual demands of fasting and prayers. This explains the exploits we read about in the Bible. He wants every husband to operate in that realm of power and authority. He wants every husband to be the groom indeed to his bride and a good shepherd to his sheep. So, you don’t have any excuse to give for not fasting, or contracting your prayer life to a third party. The Scripture in Luke 10:19 affirms the truth that you have power with God. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemies and nothing shall by any means hurt you. You can discipline your appetite. You can bring your stomach under control.

As a husband, your wife and children must be confident to call on you in times of crises or challenges for answers. The Scripture says that as Jesus is, so are we. As His Father sent Him to be the Moses to the world, so has He empowered you to become the savior of your flock. When you engage in fasting and prayers, you are not hurting yourself. Rather, you are arming yourself to operate in the supernatural. It is very risky and dangerous for you to live your life outside the atmosphere of prayer and fasting. It is like a shepherd who goes to sleep. Anything negative can happen to his sheep. You are the head to take the lead. Fasting and prayers empowers you to become a good and godly husband indeed to the extent that they can refer to you and your God. That is what makes you relevant.
