Bible Texts: Rom.8:37, Eph.6:12, Rom.6:16, 2Cor.5:15, Jn.1:1-3, Heb.11:2-3, Jude 1:20, Lk.18:1, Jn.15:5, Lk.10:19, Rev.12:11
In lawn tennis, when a player is at an advantage and at match point, he or she displays these characteristics. The player takes their time to weigh the best way to serve so that they can defeat their opponent. They exude confidence and unusual courage and they are sure that serving match point would win the contest for them.
Now relate this to how God wants you to function as the godly husbandman. God has made you to have advantage over the challenges that come with leading your life, wife and children. According the word of God, you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus (Rom.8:37). God has made provision for your victory-victory over sin, untimely death, bitterness, adultery and stealing, unforgiveness and hatred, hopelessness and doubts. So, just like the player who has the advantage in serving match point and displaying all the nature of a victor, you are serving the match point with victory in sight. You are not serving the match point against your wife and children but against principalities and powers and rulers of darkness in high places (Eph.6:12).
But for you to have an edge over the pressures of sin, satan and the world, you must submit to the leading of God through Jesus Christ, who empowers you for victory. The word of God tells us that the person we yield our bodies to is our master (Rom.6:16). So, the question to you is this. Who is your master? Jesus Christ or satan? To become a victor and reign as the godly husbandman, you must make Jesus Christ your Lord and personal Saviour and allow Him to take first place in your life and all that concerns you (2 Cor.5:17).
Secondly, you must continue to feed your faith with the word of God and by speaking boldly. Faith is a spiritual force. If you don’t make conscious effort to feed it with the word of God, you cannot overcome the challenges of life. The word of God is the source of your ever growing and ever winning faith (Jn.1:1-3, Heb.11:2-3, Jude 1:20).
And finally, you must keep your prayer altar burning (Lk.18:1). Praying in the Holy Ghost empowers your inner man for unusual boldness. Prayer builds your most holy faith and stirs up the spirit of faith in you which will make you to confront every device of satan, sin and the world.
You are a victor. You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. You can and have overcome the challenges within and without. Halleluyah!
