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.

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...

Why Are You Here?

Don't claim you don't know your divine purpose. Its an act of irresponsibility as a man for you not to having a course you are living your life for. What are the goals and plans your father could not achieve....be the correction of your father. If your father was not a landlord, fight to become one. What kind of success in life and in God your father could not attain? Fight to attain them. Don't repeat the mistakes of your father. Don't give your lover the chance to complain about you the same way your mum use to complain of your dad. Don't become the kind of husband and father....you complained about while growing up as a child.  You can do all things as you depend on the Holy Spirit. Addictions can be broken and curse can be neutralize. This is your day. Make up your mind to become the kind of man God has ordain you to become. Be different. Be responsible. Blame no body and take charge of your life through Gods Word. HOPE EXPRESSION believes in you.
