EMPOWERED TO BECOME BY PRAYER AND FASTING
Bible Texts: Gen.1:26-28, Philp.2:12-13, Mk.9:29, Acts 2:1-4, Rom.9:16, Jn.3:3-10, 1Sam.2:9, Ecc.9:11, Jn.15:5, Heb.13:21, Jn.10:18, Acts 4:33, Gal.4:19, Jer.33:3, Ps.23:1, Acts 1:1, Zech.4:6
I caught light from Genesis Chapter 1 and verses 26 to 20 which I want to share today. By the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, I understood that when God made man, He blessed him. That is, God empowered man to be like God. This awesome capacity enabled the man to name all the animals without going to any school or having a foreknowledge. Now this is the Rhema. Until you and I are empowered by God through the Person of the Holy Spirit, we cannot be like the good and godly man, husband, and father that God wants us to become. The prayer and fasting altar is the platform to access the power of God to function in the fullness of our covenant responsibilities as the good and godly husbandman.
Wherefore, my beloved, as all of you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For IT IS GOD WHICH WORKETH IN YOU BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE. Do all things without murmurings and disputings (Philippians 2:12-14)
From the Bible passage in Philippians chapter 2 and verse 13, it is clear that God is the only person who can empower you to desire and do His good pleasure as the man, husband and father. Without the empowerment of God through the Person of the Holy Spirit, you will struggle to fulfill God’s plan for your life as the husbandman (Zech.4:6, Jn.15:5).
But what must I do to receive empowerment to fulfill God’s perfect plans for my life as the husbandman?
You receive power to become by giving yourself to the ministry of prayer and fasting (Lev.6:9, Mk.9:29, Acts 2:1-4). The prayer platform is the altar of empowerment (Jer.33:3). You must engage and activate your prayer life by fervently asking for empowerment from God to perform.
You receive power to become by giving yourself to the ministry of the word of God (Jn.5:39, Jn.8:32). As you study the word of God to know the mind of God for your life, the Spirit of God in His word lightens your mind and leave no room for darkness (Ezk.2:2).
The good and godly change and growth you desire in your life as the husbandman is possible and it is a noble cause. Therefore, engaging the Person of the Holy Ghost, the mystery of fasting and prayers and the word of God ultimately empower you to desire and to do the perfect will of God for your life as the man, husband and father.
Are you ready to fast and pray to God for empowerment to become the good and godly husbandman, because only by the strength of God you can prevail (1Sam.2:9)?
