Bible Texts: Lk.18:1, Matt.15:32, Lk.21:27, Jos.21:45, Gal.4:19, Eph.1:18, Jn.5:39, Jn.8:32, Jn.3:1-5, Heb.11:1-3, Matt.11:28, Is.1:18, Is.45:2
Let’s begin today’s teaching by laying some biblical truths about prayers, with the hope that you will appreciate that what prayer is to you is what water is to fish. As the good and godly husbandman, you must engage the weapon of prayer as an indispensable requirement. You must also understand that prayer is the foundation of your victory over the works of the devil that is trying to manifest themselves in area of your life both as the man, husband and father, your relationships, health, academics, finances and many more.
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, THAT MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY and not to faint (Lk.18:1)
Jesus said, “that men ought always to pray”. This means prayer is the lifestyle of the husbandman.
But what is prayer?
Prayer is a spiritual seed. When you pray, you are actually sowing seeds for the now and into the future to reshape the destinies and circumstances of your life as the man, husband and father.
Prayer is also communion or communication between you and God, Your heavenly Father.
Come and let us reason together… (Is.1:18)
Prayer is you engaging God through His Son, Jesus Christ, to share fellowship with Him.
Prayer is also the vehicle you use to carry all your challenges to God, through Jesus Christ.
Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give thee rest (Matt.11:28)
The perfect will of God for you is to be like Jesus Christ. God wants the mind of Christ to be in you. God wants you to be blessed as the man, husband and father. And prayer is the platform that God has given to you to be empowered to achieve all these (Jn.15:5, Philp.2:13)
What then happens when I become the husbandman who prays as a lifestyle?
Firstly, you prevail over the circumstances of life. Secondly, you become a person of exploits that will bring glory and praise to Jesus Christ. Thirdly, you set and continues to reset your life and the lives of your wife and children on the path of righteousness. But you must do three things, first.
The first is that you must be born again and have a personal relationship with God through the Person of Jesus Christ (Jn.3:2-5, 2Cor.5:17). The second is that you must give attention to study, know and meditate on the word of God for yourself (Jn.5:39, Jn.8:32). The third is that you must walk by faith and not by sight (Heb.11:1-2).
Prayer is your lifeline for a victorious life as the husbandman. Keep an uninterrupted communication with God through Jesus Christ because that is what empowers you to become the good and godly husbandman.
