Bible Texts: Gen.1:28, Rom.12:15, 1Cor.15:10, Ps.139:14, Job 29:15, Gen.2:5, Gen.1:26-28, Jn.10:1-3, Rom.8:1, Jos.1:3-8, Jn.5:39, 2Tim.2:15, Jude 1:20
I welcome you to a brand-new day and I declare that you shall rejoice and be glad in it. Amen and amen.
Over the past two days, we explored the miracle power of faith in Jesus Christ and His word. I encourage you to take personal responsibility to build your faith as it is written building your most holy faith (Jude 1:20).
Today, I want us to consider the forces within us as husbandmen that we must overcome for us to grow and become the good and godly man, husband and father. I called these forces the enemies within the husbandman.
The first enemy is low self-esteem.
Low self-esteem is when you think less of yourself. This enemy makes you think you are unfit to enter your place of leadership as the godly man, husband and father. And because you are not in your real place of godly leadership, you become fearful, lack confidence and courage to provide good and godly leadership. This further leads you to lose your self-confidence. That is not the will of God for you as the good and godly husbandman.
God wants you to be confident, bold and courageous because He has not given you the spirit of fear but of love, power and of a sound mind (Jos.1:3-8). You must be conscious of who you are in Christ Jesus and walk in the light of Scriptures to enjoy your ministry as the good and godly man, husband and father (Gen.1:26-28, Jn.10:1-3, Rom.8:1).
Now, how do I overcome this enemy?
You overcome this monster by rediscovering yourself in God through the pages of Scriptures, which is the word of God. You have the gene of God’s nature in you- the nature of courage, confidence and boldness. So, as you give attention to the study and meditation of the word of God, you discover the truth of what God says about you as the man, husband and father (Jos.1:6-9, Jn.5:39, 2Tim.2:15).
As the husbandman, you have your self-worth and identity in Jesus Christ, so you are not a nonentity. Don’t allow the noises from the world, the pressure of life and the challenges you may having to make you feel less of what God says you are. God wants you to function in your place as the good and godly husbandman with authority, faith and power. You must daily affirm this truth to yourself, speak boldly about it and act courageously.
Praise be unto Jesus Christ!
