Bible Texts: Gal.4:19, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:29, 1Thess.5:17, Jn.15:5, Is.61:9, Jn.10:10, Lk.10:19, Is.30:21, Rev.12:11, Jer.33:3, Matt.7:7
Let us begin today’s teaching by considering these Scriptures as the foundation for the devotion today.
I travail in birth until Christ is formed in you…(Gal.4:19)
Men ought to always pray and faint (Lk.18:1)
From the above words of God, you and I can see that prayers and intercession is the foundation for you to prevail as the good and godly man, husband and father.
Prayer and intercession are important spiritual discipline the husbandman needs to have and live out. Praying for yourself and for others is not an option for you as the husbandman. It is a necessity. It is a commandment. It is the supernatural force that brings to pass the perfect will of God for you as the man, husband and father and for those you pray for.
But why is prayer and intercession indispensable weapons of warfare for my victory as the husbandman?
Prayer and intercession builds your power base, confidence and faith in God and His ability (Ps.40:1-3, Jer.33:3). It also connects you to the supernatural power of God that puts you in command of the circumstances of life, giving you authority to stop the influences of satan, sin and the world in and around your life and the lives of your wife and children (Lk.10:19, Jn.10:10, Heb.11:30-32, Rev.12:10-11). It empowers you to grow and mature in the things of God because you are able to hear from God on what to do, what steps to take, where to go, how to go about your plans and decisions, what to say and the ability to discern (Is.30:21).
Without me you can do nothing (Jn.15:5)
As the husbandman, you are helpless without the help of God. Your strength and wisdom to function as the good and godly man, husband and father will fail you without the help of God, through Jesus Christ. This is why you must pray without ceasing and keep your prayer altar burning (1Thess.5:17, Lev.6:9).
Therefore, make prayer and intercession your daily commitment.
