Bible Texts: Lk.18:1, Eph.6:18, Heb.12:2, Jas.5:14,17-18, Rev.12:10-12, 1Thess.5:17, Lk.10:19, Ps.63:1-2, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:21, 2Thess.2:15, Mk.9:29
Praise God that you and I have been empowered by the Person of the Holy Spirit to cling to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, so that we can continue to fulfill God’s perfect will for our lives as good and godly men, husbands and fathers.
Today, let me share with you the incredible power of prayer and two important discoveries about it.
I have discovered that the fastest way to lose steam as the husbandman in discharging your leadership responsibilities is to become a prayerless husbandman. I have also discovered that the quickest way to gain strength that will help lead as the good and godly man, husband and father is by prayer. This implies that a prayerless husbandman is powerless, but a prayerful husbandman is powerful.
And he (Jesus Christ) spake a parable unto them to this end, THAT MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT FAINT. (Luke 18:1)
Jesus, the perfect example of the husbandman, says that, if you don’t want to faint, you must be fired up in your prayer life. This means that prayer is the oxygen you need to live and it is the access to the answers you desire for the challenges of life.
But what is prayer?
Prayer is a weapon of war in the spirit realm that gives you command in the physical realm. It is also a spiritual seed that goes into the future to reshape the destinies and circumstances of your life as the man, husband and father. Prayer is also a platform for building a relationship with God, your heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ.
And being let go, they went to their company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, Lord ……..and now behold their threatening and grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word…..and when they had prayed, the place was shaken…………. (Act.4:24, 29, 31)
As the good and godly husbandman, you must appreciate that challenges will come your way just as they came in the time of the Apostles. But you can overcome them by prayer because prayer is at the core of your victory over the works of the devil that are trying to manifest themselves in your life, the lives of your wife, children, their health, academics, finances, and many more areas. Prayer is the answer to every threat and challenge from the pit of hell. Every time you pray, you are building the power base of your life to challenge every ungodly tendency in and around your family. Your pastor cannot do much to build your power base for you. You have the greater responsibility to develop your prayer life. Prevail on your knees to win on your feet.
Hallelujah!
