Men of Faith - The Uniqueness as God’s image of Men of Faith
A KINGDOM MAN CHERISHES HIS WIFE
It all begins with an idea.
MEN OF FAITH MINISTRY ( Series 6)
Praise the Lord,
Ephesians 5:25
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;"
Men of Faith, conventional wisdom suggests roses encourage romance. Or dinner by candlelight. But a wife needs much more than flowers or one-time grand gestures to feel cherished by her husband; she needs to be sanctified and satisfied.
Sanctification involves setting your wife apart and creating a safe place for her to bloom into God's Kingdom Believing Woman. That's an ongoing process requiring your patience, sensitivity, and spiritual mentoring. When you said, "I do," you also married her history. She may be hesitant to submit if she has yet to learn security in the home of a Kingdom Believing man before. However, gentle sanctification will bathe her in the freedom to experience all God has for her.
In addition, we need to satisfy our wives emotionally, spiritually, and, yes, physically. But hold on, Romeo. Those aren't three separate elevators to her heart. They're connected. For a woman to respond intimately, she must first respond with her soul. So forget about Victoria's secret. Here's God's secret: The only way to satisfy your wife is by creating spiritual oneness.
Genesis 2:24
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

A KINGDOM MAN IS CONSISTENT
It all begins with an idea.
MEN OF FAITH MINISTRY ( Series 5)
Praise the Lord,
James 1:3-4
"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
The Chinese bamboo plant can make the average seed look like it overdosed on Miracle-Gro. Farmers must water, fertilize, and tend the seed of this variety of bamboo throughout the year, but nothing breaks the soil surface for a year.
But, once this bamboo gets going, it grows dramatically, adding four feet in a single day. Within weeks, it can tower seventy feet tall, anchored by the elaborate root system it developed while it appeared to do nothing.
Men of Faith, maximizing the power of your influence in the home can take time, too, especially if biblical manhood has been absent. A woman needs to be sure biblical manhood is authentic when it does show up. She will not expose herself in a vulnerable manner just because you say you heard a sermon, read a book, attended a conference, or had a great morning devotion. Patience and consistency are key. Give time for the roots of security to grow deep.
When she hears you say, "I've got it,"; when you lead with compassion, consistency, and wisdom; when you involve her in every significant decision; and when you value her input and desires, you will discover that your relationship will go to a level you never dreamed possible. Stay patient. Be consistent. Don't give up. Cover her in such a way that she is free to respond well.

A KINGDOM MAN BLESSES OTHERS!
It all begins with an idea.
MEN OF FAITH MINISTRY ( Series 4)
Praise the Lord,
I Corinthians 9:6-7
"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
Men of Faith, most cities have food banks and blood banks. Although these banks are set up to collect, they are not designed to hoard or store. Instead, the resources they gather help other people live, either by the infusion of food or the infusion of nutrients from the blood. That's the same way blessing works. God has saved and blessed Kingdom believers so that we can share those blessings with others.
A blessing isn't simply more stuff or more money. A blessing isn't merely getting everything you think you might want. A blessing is never only about you. It includes you but is intended to go through you to others.
When God blessed Adam and Eve in the garden, He told them to be fruitful and multiply. Then He enabled them to fill the earth and extend the blessing He had given them throughout the land. Another way that God blessed them was that He provided resources in the place where they were supposed to rule. A blessing is when God supplies you for your calling. It is when God provides all you need to accomplish everything under your rule. You know that you have been blessed when you can enjoy the goodness of God despite the trials and tribulations associated with what you're doing. And you have access to enough strength, assets, and capacity to do what you have been called to do to bless others. So Men of Faith, go out today and fulfill your divine calling by being a blessing to someone who God leads you to!

A KINGDOM MAN MAKES THE RIGHT CHOICE
It all begins with an idea.
MEN OF FAITH MINISTRY ( Series 2)
Praise the Lord,
I Corinthians 13:3-7
"And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doeth not behave itself unseemly, seeking not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
Some time ago, I read a story about an eagle. It flew over a river one winter and noticed a large chunk of ice floating in the water. The eagle landed on the ice to relax for a minute. He had eagle eyes so that he could see a waterfall up ahead. He could hear the roar of the cascading torrent downstream. But he knew he had plenty of time to fly away. So he stayed. But as the eagle stood on the ice, his talons froze to it. As he spread his wings to fly away, he went nowhere. He was stuck. He waited too long and plunged over the falls on his chunk of ice.
As Men of Faith, you are a leader by position and function. You are ultimately responsible for those within your domain. You can lead those under your care to safety or drive them to harm. But to sit and wait passively is a choice for destruction. Joshua chose well and ruled well, and nearing the end of his life, he reminded his people of their choice: "Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve," he said. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15). You must make the same choice every day. Ruling well is a lifelong skill forged through faithfulness and dedication. A Kingdom man chooses daily to give his all to rule well. KEEP THE FAITH!

A KINGDOM MAN SEEKS PRICELESS TREASURE
It all begins with an idea.
MEN OF FAITH MINISTRY ( Series 1)
Praise the Lord,
Matthew 13:44
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth a field."
One of the best Indiana Jones movies is about the search for the Holy Grail. In the movie's climactic moment, the famed archaeologist is in the Grail chamber with an ancient guardian knight. Jones stands in the candlelit room, looking at the shelves filled with dozens of cups and chalices. One of the goblets is the legendary Holy Grail, the cup of Christ said to possess unlimited power. Jones must select the right one, or he and his father will die.
"You must choose, but choose wisely," says the guardian knight. "For while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you."
Even if you've never seen "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," you know what happens: Jones always uncovers the treasure.
Men Of Faith, you have a choice. Jesus speaks of a treasure: "The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field," It's a treasure for which absolutely nothing should stand in the way. In eschatological terms, the Kingdom refers to the millennial reign of Christ when He will return to run earth from Jerusalem for His thousand-year reign. Yet in the here and now, the Kingdom has also been set up for us through the Kingdom principles, covenants, responsibilities, privileges, rights, rules, ethics, coverings, and authority God has placed inside us through the Holy Ghost. John 3:3 says, "....Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." This is a priceless treasure, one worth everything you have. So, "Men Of Faith," make sure you CHOOSE WISELY!

A KINGDOM MAN TRUSTS THAT GOD'S GOT IT!
It all begins with an idea.
MEN OF FAITH MINISTRY ( Series 3)
Praise the Lord,
Matthew 1:20
"But while he thought on these thing, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."
Joseph's domain suddenly turned upside down with a surreal twist. One day the small-town carpenter had a good, simple life. His career was on track. Soon he would marry and begin a family. This was the path of a good Hebrew man. Everything was according to plan.
Until that day, everything changed. Everything imploded into shock, shame, and betrayal. And his betrothed's only explanation was that God had made her pregnant. Unbelievable!
That's when the angel appeared with the message, "Do not be afraid......" So essentially, God intervened to say, "Don't worry, Joseph. You've got it because I've got it."
You can take responsibility, MEN, even if you don't feel you have the skills, wisdom, or ability to handle it. If you align yourself under God, you can be confident He's got it. God's covering over us as His sons is a model of how we as men are to cover those under us: with protection, provision, and an environment for nurturing emotional, spiritual, and physical health.
Sometimes situations come up that make me think. There's no way I can remedy this one. It's too deep or chaotic, and nothing in scripture specifically addresses these details other than to trust God, have faith, and honor Him. But I still hold up three fingers as if I mean it, not because I'm pretending, but because, as a man under God, I have faith that God has it!
