Men, Anger is not Leadership

I have seen too many men confuse anger with authority. The raised voice, the clenched jaw, the sharp response—sometimes it feels like strength in the moment, but it is not leadership. A man of Godly value is called to carry presence, not pressure. Your leadership is measured not by how quickly you can silence a room, but by how deeply you can guide it with wisdom, patience, and self-control. Scripture says, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty” (Proverbs 16:32). True strength is not the explosion—it is the restraint.

When anger takes the driver’s seat, judgment gets clouded, words cut deeper than intended, and relationships suffer damage that apologies cannot always mend. I’ve had moments where I thought my frustration would fix a situation faster, but instead it left scars I later had to heal. A man of value does not hide his emotions, but he masters them under the discipline of the Spirit. That mastery is what builds trust in your leadership, whether in the home, in ministry, or in business. People follow steadiness, not volatility.

So brother, when you feel anger boiling, pause. Leadership is not about proving you are in charge—it is about proving God is in charge of you. Let your tone be seasoned with grace, your decisions anchored in peace, and your influence shaped by patience. That is where your true authority lies. Anyone can shout. It takes a man of Godly value to lead without losing his peace.

BECOME AN INTENTIONAL MAN.

You were born a male but becoming a man is factor of a deliberate effort you must make daily through the strength of Christ.  To become the kind of man God has ordained you to become, you must understand the specific plan God ORDAINED for you. This can be done when you pay attention to God's personal dealing with you via His Word. Your first responsibility is to dwell in the presence of God. Your second responsibility is to submit to the instructions of the Father. Your third responsibility is to discover your dream (your calling or purpose or life assignment). Your third responsibility is to be intentional and diligent in your dream and produce result/solution. After all the above is in place, that's when you can think of dating/marriage.  These are not my words but how God dealt with Adam in the book of Genesis 2, before He presented a Woman to Him. So, if you think being a man is about chasing women and money. You are abusing yourself.  According to God's standard, the...

EMBRACE YOUR AUTHORITY

Dear Men of Godly Value, In the tapestry of life, you stand as pillars, either as fathers and husbands or as those destined for these sacred roles. Your strength lies not just in muscle and might, but in the clarity of your direction, forged by purpose and calling in Christ. Each step you take, every decision you make, contributes to the legacy you're building. As you navigate the complexities of life, remember the profound impact of fighting the good fight of faith. It is in this struggle that you find not only strength but also the unwavering clarity of your calling. Your authority as a male figure isn't rooted in dominance but in your commitment to divine purpose. Leading your generation, guiding your wife or lover, and nurturing your family all hinge on the authenticity of your connection with your calling. Without this alignment, the compass of your leadership may falter. So, embrace the journey, seek that constant clarity, and let the light of your faith illuminate your p...

THE NATURE OF A MAN'S VISION

Brothers, it is important for you to understand that the strenhth of your life dwells in the strength of your vision. Vision is the mental picture of the problems God has wired you to solve in the future through your purpose, calling or capacity. There is a healthy vision and unhealthy vision. A healthy vision is the type that is caught through the inspiration of God's Word in your heart. Unhealthy vision is the type that is feeds humans ego and pride. As a man, it is important for you to have a defined vision that is cultivated from God's Word. If you don't have a vision, you won't be able to feature in the future. As a man, where are you heading to in life, and what's dictating your direction in life? Is it God's personal dealings with you or human logic? Catching a vision starts with your self discovery, through the knowledge of God's Word. What do you see in the next five to twelve years from now? Whose problem are you hungry to solve? Whose pain do you ...
