Main Scriptures: Is.37:3
More Scriptures: Gal.4:19, 1Cor.4:15, Jas.1:18
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, this day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy, for the children are come to birth and there is not strength to bring forth (Is.37:3).
If you understand the power a pregnant woman would require to deliver of her child, you will appreciate today’s teaching. And if you allow the truth of Scriptures to gain root in your heart, you will make the most of your position as the godly husbandman and leader in your family kingdom. The first thing to know is that for you to become the godly husbandman and bring forth all that God has ordained for you and your wife and children, you will require more than your physical strength, education, age, background or even experience. There is an empowerment that comes with being the godly husbandman and it is available to every shepherd who will sincerely ask the Lord Jesus and walks in the consciousness.
As the godly husband and the spiritual leader in your family kingdom, there are so many challenges you would be confronted with. It includes but not limited to spiritual, mentally, social, relational, finances, health and vision. You must understand that being the godly husbandman is just the first step to a world of victory. You must take personal responsibility to develop yourself in your journey to becoming a good and godly husband like Jesus Christ. Remember that Jesus Christ was born as the Messiah and the reconciler of man to God. However, He didn’t say, “well, now that I am the Messiah, I could afford to be complacent”. Instead, Jesus gave Himself to learning, continuous study, prayers and a walk of faith. No wonder, He was able to coordinate the twelve (12), who eventually turned the world for His kingdom. God has ordained you to maximize your potentials as the head of your sheepfold. You must work out the assignment with fear and trembling.
You cannot be your best as the godly shepherd without the help and ministry of the Person of the Holy Spirit. Without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, you will struggle to function in the office of the husbandhood. He is the only Person who can guide you on how to treat your wife and children. He is the only Person who can fill you with wisdom to handle every challenge that comes your way. He is the only Person who can help you. In Acts 1:8, the Scripture explains to us that the disciples of Jesus couldn’t have achieved so much if not for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And he said unto them, it is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.. Therefore, make Him your indispensable partner and watch as He helps you grow in grace and glory as the good and godly man, husband and father.
