Sharpening Talents through Training as Men

A man of Godly value doesn’t just carry potential—he refines it. God gives gifts in raw form, but training gives them direction. Without discipline and mentorship, even divine ability can remain undeveloped. You can be anointed but still unprepared.

Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Every man needs someone who challenges, corrects, and refines him. David had Samuel. Elisha had Elijah. Timothy had Paul. Mentorship doesn’t make you weak—it saves you from error. It teaches you how to handle what God has given.

Discipline keeps a man grounded where zeal alone would have made him reckless. It’s what helps you pray when tired, study when bored, and serve when unseen. Kingdom use demands maturity, not just excitement. Preparation seasons your gift until it becomes reliable for divine assignment.

When you submit your talent to training, you’re saying, “Lord, I want to be useful, not just visible.” That posture is what turns ordinary men into instruments of revival. God doesn’t anoint laziness; He anoints diligence. So sharpen your edge—through study, prayer, learning, and humble service—until your gift becomes a tool God can trust.

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 ...

A Call to Men of Godly Value

In a world filled with endless distractions, men of Godly value face a formidable adversary: the relentless assault of distraction. Satan cunningly employs various tactics to divert their focus from discovering, preparing, and deploying their original purpose and assignment in Christ. But in the face of this onslaught, there lies a call—a call to stay steadfast, vigilant, and committed to the divine path set before them. The Battle of Distraction Distraction comes in many forms—be it the allure of material possessions, the pursuit of fleeting pleasures, or the busyness that engulfs our daily lives.

Men - Guard Yourself

Dear Man of Godly Value, Your life is not ordinary — it carries a weight of divine purpose. That’s why you cannot afford to live carelessly or without boundaries. You must be intentional about building principles that surround your heart, your choices, and your space. Not everything should be accessible to you, even if it looks good or feels right in the moment. Why? Because your destiny demands clarity, focus, and discipline. When you know where you're going, you learn to say “no” with conviction and “yes” with purpose. Brother, you are not just protecting yourself — you are guarding a vision, a calling, and an assignment. You must create standards that decide who you allow close, what you give your time to, and how you respond to challenges. These principles will serve as your compass when temptations come, when distractions arise, and when people don’t understand your path. Without this internal framework, even a great man can fall. Be the kind of man whose values speak louder t...
