Bible Texts: Hab.3:17-19, Matt.11:6, Ps.98:1, Ps.96:12, Ps.100:1-2, Is.61:3, Ps.119:89, Num.23:19, Philp.4:4, Philp.2:13, 1Thess.5:16-18, 2Chro.20:22, Matt.7:7, Jn.10:10
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines, the labour of the olive shall fail and the fields shall yield no meat, the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and the there shall be no herd in the stalls. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation (Hab.3:17-18)
Yesterday, we began to look at the power of thanksgiving and praise as a weapon of warfare for a victorious life for the husbandman. I pray for grace to be joyful even in the face of challenges. Amen.
But how do I develop the attitude of joy, praise and thanksgiving?
You must ask the Lord Jesus Christ to fill you with the garment of praise because on your own, you cannot do it (Jn15:5).
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called the tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that they might be glorified (Is.61:3)
You must continue to judge God faithful and believe that what He has said is true and unfailing.
Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven (Ps.119:89)
As the husbandman, it may seem as if your faith in the word of God and your work towards becoming the good and godly man, husband and father is not yielding the results you want to see in your life. It is like the more you believe the word of God and walk the truth of its instructions for you as the man, husband and father, the more you fail in becoming the godly husbandman. Don’t give up on God and His word (Matt.11:6). He never lies (Num.23:19).
You must continue to surround yourself with soul-lifting, faith-filled Christian songs of praise and worship.
O sing unto the Lord a new song, for he hath done marvelous things, his right hand and his holy arm hath gotten him the victory (Ps.98:1)
Praise and worship songs have the power to lift your soul and help you see the faithfulness of God and His word. It cures discouragement, hopelessness and fear (Ezk.2:2). The more you allow the songs to reach your soul, the more hopeful you are for a glorious tomorrow in God.
Rejoice! Again, I say be joyful!
Hallelujah!
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

FAITH CONFESSION
My God is faithful and His word is true, therefore, I rejoice always and joy in the God of my salvation, regardless of the challenges because that is that attitude that makes me an overcomer as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
But how do I cultivate the attitude of gratitude and be joyful?
