Message Title: Dare to Be a Kingdom Man
Message Truth: A Kingdom man is a male who operates under the divine authority of God and exercises Biblical responsibility within his family, church, and community.
Message Text: 3 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; act like men be strong. 14 Do everything in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:3-4
Courage – the spiritual strength to do what is right no matter the consequences
2 When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. 2 “I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, 3 and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go 4 and that the Lord may keep his promise to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’
Solomon failures are the same for men today: Solomon built a beautiful Temple but had a divided heart. He was probably the wisest fool that ever lived.
