Main Scriptures: Eph.6:17-19
More Scriptures: Jn.14:26, Ps.44:3, Lk.18:1
Did you know that as the head of your family, much prayer results in much power? And I once remarked that a prayerless husband is a powerless husband. And any husband who has not learnt how to win on his knees shall struggle to reign as a king and priest in his sheepfold. The truth is that challenges would come. Some will come unannounced and others expected. But in all you can triumph over them by the Spirit of God at work inside of you. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in prayers for all believers everywhere (Eph.6:18). As the head of the family, it is very important that you understand the place of the Holy Spirit- His Person, power and personality. The Person of the Holy Spirit empowers you with insight into the future. He prompts you to know why your wife and children behave the way they do. He even shows you things to come, “I will send you the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, and He will show you things to come…. Jn.14:26.
They did not conquer the land with swords. It was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It is your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them (Ps.44:3) NLT. The Spirit of God is the power of God that will help you to win over any and every challenge in your sheepfold. You cannot overcome a disobedient wife and children by beating them up. You cannot bring your flock under the influence of God by suppressing and denying them of the things that pertains to life and godliness. You need the empowerment of the Spirit of God and you access it by praying. In Acts chapters 1 and 2 respectively, they disciples prayed until they became empowered by the Holy Spirit. As a result, they began to do what they couldn’t ordinarily do. So, you must learn the art of praying fervently. Prayer is the channel through which you place a demand on God through Jesus Christ, for the release of power to function maximally as a good and godly husband. Men ought to always pray and not faint (Lk.18:1). When you pray and you are empowered by the Spirit of God, you are able to overcome the frustrations that come with dealing with a disrespectful and rebellious and below average wife and children.
God wants you to reign as a king and priest on the earth (Rev.5:10-12). He wants to help you live a fulfilled life as a good and godly husband. Work with Him to make your life count positively.
