Bible Texts: Jn.10:9-11, Est.7:6, 1Tim.5:14, Eph.2:2, Heb.12:24, Eph.6:10-12, 2Cor.5:17, Rev.12:11, Rom.10:10, 2Tim.2:15, Rom.4:17-21, Jn.3:3-7, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:27-29
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph.6:12)
Yesterday, by the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit, we understood that satan, sin and the world are forces and influences that are constantly contending against the husbandman in his journey to fulfilling the perfect will of God for him as the good and godly man, husband and father.
But has given the husbandman victory through Jesus Christ to dominate and contend with these forces of hell and make him a victor.
Now, how do I contend with and overcome the negative and ungodly forces that want to steal, kill and destroy my heritage as the good and godly man, husband and father?
The way to contend with these forces and dominate them is for you to use the whole armor of God.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Eph.6:10-11)
What then is the whole armor of God that guarantees your dominion and victory?
The whole armor of God is these.
Firstly, it is new birth in Christ. You must have a personal relationship with the Person of Jesus Christ, by repenting of your sins, asking Him to forgive you and inviting Him into your life (Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17). Secondly, it is the word of God. You must give attention to studying the word of God to discover His perfect plans and purposes for your life as the man, husband and father (Ezk.2:2, 2Tim.2:15). Thirdly, it is the weapon of prayers. You must engage the word of God as the basis for your fervent prayer and intercession until the word becomes flesh and manifests its fullness in your life (Gal.4:19). Fourthly, it is your faith. You must engage the power of faith in God and His word, rooted in hope (Heb.11:2, Rom.4:17-21). Fifthly, it is the power of confession. You must engage the power of confessing God’s words in the direction of your life, regardless of the circumstances (Rom.10:10). Finally, it is the mystery of the blood of Jesus Christ. You must engage the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, by pleading His blood over your life, wife, children and the challenges (Heb.12:24, Rev.12:11).
God has ordained you for glory and honour. He has made you more than a conqueror. Therefore, you have everything to make you dominate the forces and influences of satan, sin and the world and remain in Christ as the good and godly husbandman.
