Bible Texts: Philp.2:12-13, Rom.9:16, Jn.3:3-10, 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
The teaching today is to help the husbandman understand that he cannot become the good and godly man, husband, and father by his power or by his might, but only by the Spirit of God, which translates to the help of God. So, hold on! Don’t give up!
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)
The emphasis in Philippians chapter 2 is in verse 13, which states that it is God who works in you both to will and to do according to His good pleasure. Often, the husbandman thinks he can do those things that please God by his wisdom and strength. Other times, he uses his human ability and thinks that will also help. In both ways, the husbandman struggles to walk in ways that please God.
It is not by power nor by might but by my Spirit saith the Lord (Zech.4:6)
It is the Spirit of God at work in you that empowers you to do the perfect will of God for your life as the good and godly man, husband, and father. Only God can help you submit to and obey Him in all things. Only God can empower you to walk in love and live a life of righteousness and holiness. Those godly virtues and attitudes you desire in your life can become a reality only with the help of God.
So, how do I access the power of God that will empower me to do His perfect will as the husbandman?
The principal way you can access the power of God for empowerment to do His perfect is through the weapon of prayer of faith and fasting (Lev.6:9, Jas.1:3-7). The prayer platform is the altar of empowerment (Acts 2:1-4, Acts 4:23-31, Gal.4:13).
Every change you want to see in your life can be conceived and birthed on the prayer altar. It takes much more than physical strength to effect a change of character. It takes spiritual warfare to make positive changes possible. Are you ready to pray to God for empowerment to become the good and godly husbandman?
