Godly Men Rise (ePub)

This is a must-read for every godly man or men aspiring to be. It will awaken you to your call and responsibility as a godly man, husband, father, and member of the society. It will practically show you just how to 'rise' above your limitations to be exactly the kind of man God envisioned and enable you to live up to your full potential.

There is a clarion call, especially today, for godly men to rise and take their place, setting the standards for true manhood, fatherhood, leadership, responsibility, and mentorship in a world where toxic masculinity appears to be prevalent.

There is a need for men to arise to the godly mandate to cast a vision of God, modeling Him as a loving/sacrificial husband and a doting father to their family and to their community of influence.

When men fail to remain in regular fellowship with the Lord, they become vulnerable to listening to the wrong voices and can become easily distracted from their purpose. The decline of our culture, characterized by social ills, moral decay, and violence, is a sign that men have not taken their position under God seriously. God expects men who have a relationship with Him to bring Heaven to earth by fulfilling His commands in their families and their spheres of influence. This can only happen if men allow God to operate in them, through them, for them, and by them.

In chapter 1, the very pertinent question, 'Why Am I Here?' will be answered. You will gain clarity and receive answers to your heart-throbbing questions about purpose.

In chapters 2 and 3, you will learn the recognizable traits of a godly man and be able to determine if you truly identify as one. At the end of these chapters, you'll not only know who a godly man is but you'll also be armed with the requisite knowledge to become one yourself.

"As men, our actions and inactions will have a ripple effect on our children and even generations unborn."

In chapter 10, we will see why and how this is a recurring phenomenon.

When many Christian and even non-Christian women are asked the qualities they need in a man, one of their foremost responses is usually something along the lines of 'He must be God-fearing'. It is little wonder, however, because the fear of God is what will keep a man in check. There is something attractive that drives a sense of peace and security in a home and in society, when a man has a relationship with God and is guided by the Holy Spirit.
