I have really been desiring to encourage the men in this series, but honestly this is a truth for all of us.
Are we faithful?
Are we true?
Can we be depended upon?
We can trick ourselves into thinking we’re faithful when that’s not the case.
Lord, Please help me to not think I’m something that I’m not.
The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth
Are you someone that can be depended upon.
Lord, I have a great concern that we be eternally minded that we might be faithful.
Help the single men, the married men - to be faithful
Ask yourself serious questions
the psalmist said - search me and see if there be any wicked way in me
Ask others
ask them their honest opinion and dont be critical of them
Learn to follow
are you willing to follow before you lead
children must learn to obey - they are disqualified when they dont follow
follow the Holy Spirit
Develop Spiritual Discipline
“A man without spiritual discipline to reign his being will be taken captive.”
If there is no spiritual character developed anything will be able to control you.
We must learn to control ourselves before we can lead others.
We need to stop operating under the flesh to have the power of the Spirit
We need to run to attain
We have weights that can weigh us down
Temperate in all things - that means being spirit controlled
In all things
It’s not that we ran and fell - its that we fell and didn't get up
Some here have been so hurt - you have been through
Faithful men aren't those who don’t go through the fire - they go through the fire, and trust the Lord they come out of the fire
Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever
Some think that they can conquer the world - they can change the world; but not conquering themselves or making the necessary changes in themselves - they fool themselves.
The wise man conquers himself
Spiritual discipline is doing what is right even if no other human being knows
It is doing what is right when no one else is watching
Spiritual discipline is doing what is right even if it causes you to be alone
Doing what is right even if there is no platform
Whether you are in the spotlight or not doesnt matter
4. Develop Patience and Mercy
There is no such thing as instant growth
No such thing as instant victory
People have baggage
People have problems
It will take you to develop with God’s help to help them
There are people with different convictions
Standards
Philosophies
Backgrounds
Positions
Be patient - that’s a character trait of faithfulness
My children are all different
be patient
We are so controlling as people
People have gotten mad at me because I didnt get mad at another person
Some may think youre a compromiser if youre patient and show mercy
you will reap what you sow
you will want mercy
Be thou and example unto the believers
There will be people that irritate you - they are there to build you
God is not the author of confusion
Wicked works of the devil
Peacable - I want you to have peace near me
gentle - Kind
easy - approachable
As faithful leaders, our goal is not to cross the finish line first, but to take as many people with us across the finish line.
Faithful men take their family along with them.
Take your family with you.
Are you connected to your family spiritually?
Are you a faithful man taking others with you across the finish line?
5. Faithful Men Seek Accountability
People who lead themselves know they cant trust themselves
they understand they have blind spots
Power deceives - leadership is seductive
enticement, temptation lurk in the shadows of leadership
People that had a lot of charisma, a lot of strength have fallen because of a lack of accountability
To run from accountability is dangerous.
When people are young, they think they have everything under control
have children
children grow
Can others critique you?
My wife is such a blessing
Without accountability you’re lost
you are not your own measure of what’s right
We dont like accountibiilyt because we dont like what others will find
You will give an account
it is appointed unto men once to die
Wouldnt it be good to be accountable now?
time, talent, treasure
What sort it is - your work will be checked
After the fire what is left will be rewarded
everything in the flesh will be burned
Faithful Men Soberly Realize They Are Nothing But For The Grace Of God
Jas 4:6 But he giveth more grace.
Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
The smallest crowd you will ever lead is you, but that crowd is the most important.
