For decades, faithful women have filled church pews, have sought God for strength, have faithfully served Him behind the scenes – where no one has seen but God. And their reward is with Him.
“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:6
While men have stayed at home, and trusted in their own strength, and have refused to rely on Him as their source and power. It is not a sign of weakness to say “I need help,” and it is not a sign of weakness to turn to Another for the Way. It is time for men to break, for the strength of man to fail, and for men to position themselves before God in humility, to position themselves for true power – a true man will rely on His Creator for true provision, true empowerment, and find their true nature.
God is a POWERFUL God! And He desires those who will serve Him in that power, He has made man to RULE and to CONQUER, and He is a vast resource to the one who will trust in his Maker. Man’s strength is weakness, but God’s power is limitless and it is the birth-right of His sons and daughters.
RISE UP MEN OF GOD!
It’s OK to feel weak and reliant, to feel like you can’t do it on your own – this is not failure, this is success! This is the key and the door to unfathomable strength and ability, to be the man you were created to be. Do not resist God in this. The Apostle Paul boasted in his weakness, and declared that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness. The strength of man is failing, because we are in a time when God will come forward in our lives, in our families, so that He would be glorified in us. No man can take His glory, we were never made that way. We were made to carry His glory, not to take it for ourselves but to give it back to Him. And we were created to know the Power of God.
