Bible Texts: Matt.10:1, 1Cor.16:9, Eph.1:21, 3Jn.1:2, Lk.10:19, Mk.9:29, Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17, Rev.12:11, Rom.8:31, Job 22:28, Matt.18:18-20
Did you know that one of the inheritances you enjoy from God is power and authority? Did you also know why God gives you power and why He wants you to exercise it?
This is what the Person of the Holy Spirit wants to teach you and I as husbandmen, today.
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease (Mk.10:1)
Remember that the husbandman is to follow after the examples of Jesus Christ. And as the follower of Jesus Christ, the husbandman must exercise the authority given to him by God through Jesus Christ.
But why must I exercise authority?
A great and effectual door is opened before you but there are many adversaries (1Cor.16:9)
As the husbandman who is growing to become the good and godly man, husband and father, there are many ungodly forces that want to hinder you. They include unclean spirits like adultery, lying, covetousness, uncontrolled appetite for food, sex and money, unforgiveness and so much more. These spirits are from satan, sin and the world, working to defile you and make you unfit to be conduct yourself in ways the pleases God as the husbandman. If you don’t exercise the power of God against these ungodly forces, you will not attain the fullness of your calling as the husbandman.
But for you to exercise the power of God against unclean spirits, sickness and disease, you must have a personal relationship with the One who gives power, Jesus Christ (Jn.3:3-7). This you do by repenting of your sins and asking Jesus Christ to come into your life to be your Lord and Personal saviour.
Secondly, you must be conscious of who you are in Christ.
We are seated far above……..(Eph.1:21)
You are seated with the Husbandman, Jesus Christ in heavenly places far above principalities, powers and rulers of this world. You in this world but you are not of this world. You must be conscious of this all the time because it builds your faith in God to take dominion over satan, sin and the world.
The glory of the good and godly husbandman is his ability to walk on earth like Jesus Christ did in power and authority. That is your heritage. Work and walk in this truth always.
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, build my authority-consciousness as the husbandman.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me with the Spirit of power and authority.
- Father, in the name of Jesus, empower me to exercise Your authority and power over unclean spirits, sickness and disease.
FAITH CONFESSION
I am seated with Jesus Christ far above unclean spirits, sickness and disease and I walk in this consciousness and I exercise the power of God over them because that is what gives me victory to be and helps me to maintain my walk as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
