Introducing: ‘Where Are The Men’ Series

I am currently working (or trying to work) on my fourth book “Prayers For Your Future Husband (Spirit Led Prayers For The One Whose Name You Don’t Know)’.

It will be out God willing in January 2017, as a gift along with our The Women At The Well first book (all ladies, you should absolutely pre-order this package HERE, would be just such a blessing).

It is a book that I probably had written ever since June 2016 or so. I wrote it all behind a jotter as I prayed one night.

I suddenly had a burden one night to pray for my future husband – from his heart, to his purpose, to his life choices… for direction to his sexuality to his ability to lead, etc.

And as I prayed, the Spirit just totally poured out what to pray for on me and what the book should be about.

I was away at Bro Gbile Akanni MLR retreat at Gboko Benue State last week and again I had serious burden to pray for my man.

God always lays it on me… but even as I pray I recognize the fact that it is not just my man who needs prayers; ALL OUR MEN NEED PRAYERS.

 

Satan is toying with manhood. More like waging a serious war against men and like I said to my sisters at our last TWTW meet in Lagos (see HERE for the messages), most of us don’t even know that there is a war going on.

 

Our men wake up, take their briefcases and go in search for money ONLY without knowing that that’s exactly satan’s plan for their lives.

Have the men wrapped up with money so they can abdicate on their roles as leaders, husbands, fathers and spiritual heads.

Most men no longer have any interest in things that will help them grow if it has nothing to do with business and money.

One of my friend, a father said “a man’s work is to hustle and bring in money for the family… that’s what he should be concerned about.”

I shook my head so much at him, I am sure my head almost fell off what with the way I get so passionate about issues like this.

In Gbile Akanni’s words from his book “The dignity of manhood”, being a man is more than going to work and coming back home tired while demanding for your food (paraphrased).

Being only concerned about money and food when there is a lot more at stake is just so sad.

My brothers, I have spoken to some of you and oh, even the words from your mouth send me back into this burden for you…

And the men who God has helped and can help raise other men for Him fall into the trap of “I am too busy to father another grown man, let them learn the ropes on their own”.

What can we do brothers?

We cannot bad mouth you, you are part of our family.

Our husbands are among you…

Our brother-in-laws are among you..

Our friends are among you..

So aside from praying, what can we do?

 

This series on this blog is an attempt to see how God would help me do my own quota by the gift of writing He has given me.

Just like “Chastity For Men”, I hope that this series touches lots of our men and even if its just a man who is brought in to see the realization of His identity and purpose in Christ then that’s enough.

From one seed, others will spring up.

I believe that dearly.

So for the next three to four weeks we will be digging into raising men for Jesus on here.

When we say ‘where are the men’, we hope and pray that godly men… men full of Jesus with understanding about their roles will arise.

 

Tell a friend to tell another friend to stick around.

 

As a brother, do other brothers good by sharing this series everywhere.
