23 August 2015 - ENCS

Pastor Josh and wife Nani spoke on “Honouring Men” today
Per Ephesians five, wives submitting to husbands is God's way
This naturally brings about female feelings of angst and pain
But is good if put in the proper perspective, Nani did explain
For this relationship mirrors that of Christ and the church
And a godly husband will never leave his wife in a lurch
Submission is like having an umbrella, Nani did then share
Finding a godly husband is worth the wait for they are rare
She said that wives should treat men with honour and respect
Focusing on the potential in their lives instead of any defect
The key to a happy marriage is found in verse thirty three
Husbands loving and wives respecting is always the key

On the topic “What Is A Man?” Pastor Josh then shared his view
To be honoured, being a man of honour is what man must do
He then referred to verse twenty one, which should be read
As it points out that all should submit to each other instead
David told his son Solomon, per First Kings chapter two
To “be strong and prove yourself a man” in all he would do
Pastor Josh then shared about what this really does mean
From many passages, several truths he was able to glean
First is that real men honour God and His Word follow
Living in integrity, loving the Lord, and in His truth go
Second is that real men take responsibility “like a man”
Not shirking away like a little boy who ignores the plan
Third is that real men exert their dominion over the earth
Per Genesis one and two, that role existed since birth
Fourth is that real men acknowledge from God they veer
And that the good news of Jesus is needed to draw near

In summary, or “so how” Josh said in the local parlance
We need to give Roman five more than just a glance
Remember that is was Adam who let the serpent in
And also did not prevent Eve from committing sin
But Jesus’ precious gift to us is worth so much more
So we do not need to live a defeated life as before
And real men also need to focus on real true love
Per First Corinthians thirteen, following God above
Making disciples should be a real man’s key mandate
That is the Great Commission, per Matthew twenty eight
