THREE DIMENSIONAL PREVAILING PRAYER OF THE HUSBANDMAN (1)
Bible Texts: Mk.9:23, Jer.33:3, Lk.18:1, Gen.1:26-28, Philp.4:8, Heb.11:6, Gen.2:18-25, Jn.5:39, Gen.4:1, Jn.8:32, 1Thess.5:17
Yesterday, we discovered from Scriptures that it takes only one man who is willing to be a threshing instrument in the hand of God to establish the blessings of God in his family. And that man is you. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that through you shall your family be blessed, according to Genesis chapter 12 and verses 1 to 2. Amen.
Beginning from today and in the next two (2) days, we shall be exploring another area of prayer that you and I must focus on in addition to the prayers we have been praying all through the ongoing 70 days of fasting and prayers. It is the three-dimensional prayer focus area for the husbandman.
But before we begin, let us get some assurances from the word of God about prayers and how it helps us to have and maintain a healthy fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.
Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it, the Lord is his name. Call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not (Jer.33:2-3)
God is committed to answering you when you pray according to His perfect will. He will answer you.
But there is one very important virtue that you need to have to receive answers to your prayers to God. And that is faith in God and His word (Heb.11:6).
Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mk.9:23)
Whatever God’s word has said concerning you as the husbandman can be a reality if you can pray, believing.
Now, what are the three dimensions to your personality that you must know and earnestly pray about?
You are the man (Gen.1:26-28). You are the husband (Gen.2:18-25). You are father (Gen.4:1). The perfect will of God is for you to be a useful vessel to God and to your family in all these personalities (3Jn.1:2). And that is what defines you as the good and godly husbandman.
But why must I prevail in prayers for myself as the man?
God wants you as the man to maintain a healthy fellowship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. That is the first and most important desire of God from you. Before the fall of man, God came down in the cool of the day to commune with the first man, Adam (Gen.3:1-10). God wants that friendship to continue after you leave this world to be with Him in heaven. That is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to this world to die for you and I and redeem us back to love of the Father (Jn.3:3-8, Jn.3:16, Rev.3:20).
The second reason is that as the man, your spirit wants to do the right thing but you are unable to because your flesh is weak. You know what the right thing is to do but you still find yourself doing the wrong thing (Matt.26:41). You cannot prevail by your strength but by the Spirit of God. And you can access the power of the Spirit of God when you earnestly pray and fast (Mk.9:29).
Finally, praying for yourself as the man helps you to remain and walk in the fear of God in your thinking, action and responses (Philp.4:8).
