Good morning brother,
Day one topic: Men lead with passion and strength. Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.
Strength is a defining attribute of masculinity. It’s the literal power that has allowed generations of men to protect and provide for their families. It’s the force that built our skyscrapers, roads, and bridges. God calls you the head and to serve in strong submission. It’s like having the Hulk under control.
If your identity is your strength. God will show you your weakness and need him for him.
Your strength is a gift from God.
Weakness can spread in our lives if we are not careful.
Deep down you know you need Gods strength.
LORD make my heart like yours. Give me the the strength of your love. Help me not to tolerate sin.
Make sure that heart surgery is happening every day.
Read Joshua 14:10-12
It takes strength to hold back the flesh and let God work and show his power and strength.
God is strength training us for righteousness.
Let my will be aligned with your will Lord! Make me a man after your own heart. Let me be pleased by what pleases you, and disgusted by what disgusts you oh God in Jesus name.
Psalm 51:10
English Standard Version
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right[a] spirit within me.
1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
Men are to be the head and be the lowliest of servants.
Like Brother Matthew said ^^. I tell my kids "what are we good at?" "Anything we practice". What are we practicing brothers?
Humility is a power position.
Moses was humble man and was leader of Gods nation.
"You can't get better at push ups by reading about them". We can't get spiritually stronger without exercising the fruit of the spirit.
[Rev 12:11 NLT] 11 And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
[Rev 12:7-9, 17 NLT] 7 Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. 8 And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. 9 This great dragon--the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world--was thrown down to the earth with all his angels. ... 17 And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children--all who keep God's commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.
Strengthen your heart. We have to have a strong heart to fight evil.
Physical strength means nothing if you are not willing to stand up against evil.
There is a big difference between a man and man of God!
LORD we know you are our spotter. You train our hearts and make us stronger.
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
John 6:35
I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Malachi 3:6
You can't be meek without being first powerful. Meekness is the restraining of power for anothers purpose.
Exercise is key.
God can not be mocked. If you are not taking care of your body you will be weak in faith. But also if you are only taking care of your body and neglecting the spirit you will weak in faith as well.
Masculinity begets leadership. Masculinity IS leadership. Man was born to lead. This is his purpose, his duty, and where he finds fulfillment.
It goes without saying men need to be strong. But not just physically strong, emotionally and mentally strong as well. You’ll be no good as leader if you crumble under pressure.
When your family looks to you, they should see strength, fortitude, and perseverance. They should never see weakness, indecision, or doubt. It’s not that men can’t have these feelings, we all do, but your family should never see them. This is why men need brotherhood and fraternity. It provides them a place to be vulnerable and accountable so that they can show their families strength.
No good man allows their family to become fat. How can you provide, protect, and lead your family if you’re not physically fit to do so? How can you lead your family if you drop dead of a heart attack becasue you’re morbidly obese?
Men lead their families to be fit by being physically fit themselves. Don’t bark at your kids for being couch potatoes when you spend every Sunday on the couch drinking beer and watching football.
Teach your family the importance of fitness from a young age and they will carry it with them their entire lives.
Be active with your family as well. Go on hikes together. Ride bikes together. You can build memories while also staying in shape. A fun family hike will be remembered much longer than family movie night.
Be fit, and they will follow.
Real men work out everyday. And not just there bodiless. They work out there faith in fear and trembling before the LORD!
Physical strength constitutes one of the few and most significant differences between men and women.
Building strength boosts your physical and mental health and combats depression.
Strive today to become stronger than you were yesterday. I promise as you do so, you’ll see a transformation not only in your body, but also your mind and spirit.
Read about David's Mighty Men. Second Samuel 23:8–39 and 1 Chronicles 11:10–47
Thank you for another great day of Zoom Battle Prayer.
