As Iron Sharpens Iron

Proverbs 27:17 tells us, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”(NIV).   We as Christian men must follow this Proverb.  There are men in this world that need mentors and Christian examples to emulate.  The standard of this world will not teach or model what a Man of God is today.  Only a Godly Man can do that.  A man that is on fire for Christ, loves his wife and children, and loves God more than anything else in this world.  Those men are few and far between today.  Most men are sperm donors and not fathers.  Most men today are either trying to climb the corporate ladder and neglecting their families or making babies and walking away with no responsibility what so ever.

God needs Men of honor and courage.  Men who will lay down their lives for others and who will take the responsibility of being the priests of their home.  Men who will put on the whole armor of God and go into battle to protect their families from the forces of evil that will come against them.

Men of God, you need to start everyday on your knees.  This is where the battle takes place.  Your prayer life is a major weapon against darkness and spiritual forces.  Bible study is your battle plan for winning against the powers of the air.  You are not fighting against flesh and blood but the powers and principalities of the air.  The sooner you realize that fact the sooner that you can become strong in the Lord.

Are you a warrior for Christ or are you a bench warmer who is allowing others to do battle for you?  Are you that Christian example to your family and to other men?  Think about that.  Are you willing to fight for your family and your faith?  You must decide whom you will serve.  Will it be Christ or will it be satan?  It’s your choice.  Make it today.
