Honouring Our Fathers

Silas Bamigbola

Many of us saw our fathers as heroes while we were growing up. We honoured them and saw them as the ultimate goal because of their presence, provision, and sacrifices for us. As time goes on, we may realize some inconsistencies that make them less perfect than we thought. Do we still honour and respect them? Seeing our fathers’ imperfections and yet honouring them is a challenge many men face.

One of Noah’s sons, Ham, saw his father’s nakedness and went to tell his brothers. Instead of honouring him and covering it, he made jest of his father. In contrast, Shem and Japheth honoured their father and covered his nakedness. As a result, Ham was cursed. This story teaches a profound lesson about honour and respect (Genesis 9:20-27). It emphasizes the importance of protecting our fathers’ dignity, even when we see their flaws.

Sons who do not know how to honour their fathers will not find it easy to navigate life. Honour is a foundational principle that influences our character and relationships. Ephesians 6:2-3 states, “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—“so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” This commandment underscores the significance of honouring our parents as a cornerstone for a blessed life.

Many of our fathers, even those in the faith, might have some inconsistencies and weaknesses. We must not dishonour them or think we know more than they do. Respecting our fathers does not mean ignoring their faults but recognizing their humanity and the roles they have played in our lives. Proverbs 20:20 warns, “If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.” This verse serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of disrespect.

How to Honour Our Fathers

1. Acknowledge Their Efforts: Appreciate the sacrifices and efforts they have made for your well-being. Express gratitude for the ways they have supported and provided for you.

2. Show Compassion and Understanding: Understand that your father is human and has his own struggles and weaknesses. Show empathy and patience when dealing with his shortcomings.

3. Communicate Respectfully: Speak to your father with respect and kindness, even when you disagree. Constructive communication helps maintain a healthy relationship.

4. Follow Their Guidance: Recognize the wisdom in their experiences and teachings. Even if you choose a different path, value the lessons they have imparted.

5. Support Them in Old Age: Just as they cared for you when you were young, be there for them in their later years. Offer emotional, financial, or physical support as needed.

Honouring our fathers is not about ignoring their flaws but about respecting them despite their imperfections. It is about valuing their role in our lives and upholding the principle of honour that enriches our character and relationships. By doing so, we fulfill a divine commandment and build a legacy of respect and reverence for future generations.

Identifying a Wise Man

Victoria Bamigbola

A wise man is identifiable by his consistent alignment with the truths he has internalized over time. Unlike many today who live their lives guided by worldly wisdom, which often disregards scriptural principles, a truly wise man anchors his life in reverence to God and His words. This alignment is deeply ingrained in his daily living and choices.

In a world driven by fleeting trends and shallow knowledge, a wise man stands out by his commitment to God’s truths. His wisdom is not shaped by societal whims but by the saving principles found in scripture. This steadfastness sets him apart as he lives in a manner reflecting his core values and beliefs.

One hallmark of a wise man is his desire to impart wisdom to others. True wisdom is never selfish; it seeks to enlighten and uplift those around. A wise man understands the value of the truth he possesses and feels a responsibility to share it, contributing to the betterment of his community and other men around. Living as though your world counts means recognizing that your actions and words can profoundly influence others. This awareness drives the wise man to live authentically and generously, making a positive impact on those around him.

Wisdom is not merely about speaking the truth but embodying it. The essence of a wise man is his ability to live out the truths he professes. This integrity gives his words weight and his actions credibility. It is easy to talk about principles and values, but it takes true wisdom to live them out consistently. The example that a wise man sets for others to follow is his life, which bears witness to the truths that he values.

Deciding to be wise is a conscious choice anyone can make. The word of God is a powerful source of wisdom, offering guidance and insight for those willing to seek it. Immersing oneself in scripture imparts the wisdom needed to navigate life’s complexities with grace and discernment. This divine wisdom forms the foundation upon which a wise man builds his life, ensuring that his decisions and actions align with the truth of God’s word.

The company you keep plays a significant role in shaping your wisdom. Surrounding yourself with wise and principled individuals can greatly influence your own growth in wisdom. Just as iron sharpens iron, interacting with those who value and live by truth refines your understanding and application of wisdom. Choosing your companions carefully is crucial, as they can either elevate your wisdom or lead you astray.

Furthermore, the materials you consume in media significantly impact the level of wisdom you exhibit. In an age where information is readily available, discerning what to absorb is essential. Engaging with content that promotes wisdom, truth, and integrity enhances your understanding and practice of these values. Conversely, consuming frivolous or misleading content erodes your capacity for wise living.

Ultimately, living as though the wisdom of God is upon you means making deliberate choices that reflect His principles. Strive to embody the truths of scripture in every aspect of life, from the company you keep to the media you consume. By aligning your life with these truths, you can walk the path of wisdom and inspire others to do the same. Wisdom is not an abstract concept but a tangible way of living that brings light and clarity to a world often clouded by confusion and falsehood. Choose to live wisely, and make your life a beacon of truth and integrity.

Wise Men

Silas Bamigbola

In life, there are moments when we look back and wish we had possessed the foresight to make better decisions. Those instances where a lack of understanding or wisdom led to unnecessary struggles or challenges. How many times have we found ourselves in situations where a little more insight could have spared us from the toll of our ignorance? Indeed, the pursuit of wisdom is crucial, especially for those who aspire to lead fulfilling lives.

The scriptures urge us to embrace wisdom, to regard it as a cherished companion. Proverbs 7:4 reminds us to say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and to insight, “You are my relative.” This metaphorical language emphasizes the intimate relationship we should cultivate with wisdom. It’s not merely a passing acquaintance but a close confidant, deserving of our pursuit and admiration.

God himself encourages us to seek wisdom earnestly. James 1:5 reassures us that if we lack wisdom, we need only ask, and it will be given to us generously, without reproach. This divine promise underscores the importance of humility in the quest for wisdom. It requires acknowledging our limitations and recognizing the need for guidance beyond our own understanding.

Humility, often misunderstood as weakness, is, in fact, a cornerstone of true strength. It allows us to set aside our ego and open ourselves to learning and growth. As the proverbial saying goes, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). This fear is not about cowering in terror but rather about approaching life with reverence and awe, acknowledging our place in the grand scheme of things.

In embracing humility, we acknowledge that we do not have all the answers. We accept that there is wisdom to be gained from those around us, regardless of their station in life. The wise do not seek to dominate but to understand. They recognize that true wisdom lies not in the accumulation of knowledge but in the application of it for the betterment of oneself and others.

It is through humility that we become receptive to the lessons life has to offer. We learn from our mistakes, recognizing them not as failures but as opportunities for growth. Humility enables us to listen more than we speak, to observe more than we judge. It fosters empathy and compassion, qualities essential for building meaningful connections with others.

Moreover, humility opens the door to collaboration and cooperation. It acknowledges that no one person has all the answers and that we are stronger together than we are apart. When we approach life with humility, we invite others to join us on the journey, pooling our collective wisdom for the greater good.

In conclusion, the power of humility cannot be overstated. It is the key that unlocks the door to wisdom, guiding us on the path to success and fulfillment. By embracing humility, we position ourselves to receive the insights and understanding necessary to navigate life’s challenges with grace and resilience. So let us strive to be wise men, humbly seeking knowledge and wisdom in all we do.

​​How To Love Your Woman Right

Stephen Jerubba’al

You know it was Mothers’ Day some days ago, and in the light of the love we have for them, many men sought to know how to treat their women right. Yet, amidst the plethora of advice and tips on this, one timeless truth reigns supreme: to truly love your woman right is to understand her personal rhythm and dance to its beat. Welcome to this brief journey of discovery, as we dive into the art of loving your woman with grace, authenticity, and unwavering passion. So, gentlemen, buckle up! (PS: While this really directly talks about those who are married, the singles but engaged can draw out insight to implement also)

In the amazing journey of relationships especially marriage, the love between a man and a woman is a reflection of the divine love that binds us all. As Christian men, it is our calling and privilege to love our wives in a manner that mirrors the unconditional love of Christ for His church. To love your woman right is to embark on a journey of selflessness, humility, and unwavering commitment, guided by the principles of faith and compassion.

First, loving your woman right begins with understanding and cherishing her as a precious gift from God. Each woman is fearfully and wonderfully made, endowed with unique qualities, strengths, and vulnerabilities. Take the time to truly know her, not just as your wife or woman, but as a beloved daughter of God. Embrace her individuality and celebrate the beauty of her soul, recognizing that she is a reflection of God’s grace and love in your life.

Communication lies at the heart of every meaningful relationship, and marriage is no exception.

You should interestingly be attuned to her emotional space, offering comfort and solace in times of distress and rejoicing in moments of joy and triumph. Cultivate empathy and compassion, walking alongside her in the highs and lows of life’s journey. Show her grace and forgiveness, as the time goes knowing that she is not perfect. Let your love be a beacon of hope and healing, illuminating her path with the light of God’s unfailing love.

Again, loving your woman right entails honoring and respecting her as an equal partner in your marriage. As a man, you should lead her with humility and servanthood, as it is obvious that at the heart of true leadership is service. Be of help as you grant her insight into her decision-making processes. Hey man! Be her staunchest advocate and fiercest supporter, championing her dreams and aspirations with unwavering devotion. Also, you should learn to treat her with dignity and respect, affirming her worth as a beloved child of God. Let your actions speak louder than words, demonstrating your love through acts of kindness, thoughtfulness, and selflessness.

Ultimately, to love your woman right is to embody the essence of Christ’s love in your marriage or premarital relationship. Let your love be a reflection of God’s boundless grace and mercy, extending forgiveness, compassion, and understanding at every turn. May your marriages and relationships be a testament that love can be so detailed, and yet simple, shining brightly as a light and inspiration to all who witness it.

And Hey! It’s Women’s History Month. Don’t just read. Go and practice!

Embrace Humility, Build Legacy

Adeyinka Boluwatife

Humility is a state of being meek and low-minded. In the world, it is often referred to as “stoop to conquer.” Through humility, individuals can learn from those above and beneath them, establishing a platform for the effective absorption of virtues, influence, and impact on both ends as values are exchanged.

As men and leaders in our homes, the instructional guide is the Bible, commanding us to be humble and not to think highly of ourselves, as stated in Romans 12:3 KJV: “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” Every person possesses gifts in varying measures according to the grace given by God. To thrive and appreciate the diverse gifts of others, humility is essential, as even God humbles those with a proud look. Humility fosters a welcoming demeanor, enabling us as men to fit into any environment to both serve and be served, ultimately earning great honor.

The adage “A tree doesn’t make a forest” and the biblical notion that unless a wheat of corn dies, it abides alone (John 12 vs 24) emphasize the importance of overcoming high thinking and self-sufficiency. By doing so, men become open to recognizing the supportive people placed in their lives, building a strong heritage and community for future generations. Humility is crucial for seeking help from trusted men, especially in facing challenges that may lead to destructive behaviors if left unaddressed.

In various communities, including the black community, individuals may succumb to challenges instead of seeking help. Pride, which can manifest in shame, hindering one from asking for assistance, is one to be addressed quickly when noticed; this means we must assess ourselves and recognize the root of our pride. Drawing inspiration from Jesus Christ, who despite being the Son of God despised the shame, went through the cross, interacted with sinners, and cultivated disciples to fulfill his ministry: this shows humility is a virtue every man must possess as it is a fruit of the spirit of God. This virtue facilitates meaningful connections and relationships with individuals of value, both on higher and lower pedestals in life, bridging the gap of insufficiency and equipping individuals to handle life’s challenges effectively.

In conclusion, this underscores that humility is not a sign of weakness but a virtue indispensable for meaningful connections and relationships. In the tapestry of life, humility emerges as the thread that weaves together men of different pedestals, skills, and knowledge and bridges the gap of insufficiency, equipping them to navigate life’s challenges together and effectively. It is a call to embrace humility not only as a personal attribute but as a societal ethos that contributes to the flourishing legacy of men who have withstood hard times, navigating it by seeking the hand of fellow men and creating a safe space for younger generations to look upon.

Humility: A Path to True Manhood

Silas Bamigbola

While growing up, I was proud. I remember being among those who led my secondary classes and representing my school for different Quiz competitions, and that made me proud. I felt I knew all I needed to know. Not until God used my Jamb scores to humble me. That was the moment of reordering. When God began to teach me humility – how to rely on Him and how to listen from other men to be better equipped. Now, I know I am smart, but I still learn to listen, to admit when I am wrong, and to unlearn erroneous beliefs.

As a man, one of the powers you must arm yourself with is the power of humility. We, as men, have often been taught to live life on our own, to be self-sufficient and figure everything out independently. There is an ego that we carry, believing that we can navigate life entirely on our terms.

But as men, we must be willing to embrace humility and rely on God to teach us to live the kind of life He has called us to live.

Learning from Humble Beginnings

Many times, our pride can blind us to the wisdom that comes from humility. We often think that we know it all, but true wisdom begins when we acknowledge that we don’t. The Bible emphasizes this point in Proverbs 11:2 (NIV), “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Humility is the gateway to gaining true wisdom and understanding.

God used my Jamb scores to remind me that my own strength and knowledge were limited. It was a lesson in humility that I will never forget. To lead a fulfilling life, we must recognize that we have much to learn, and that begins with humbling ourselves before the divine.

Learning from Others

We must be willing to learn from others – from mentors, from men who have gone ahead of us, and even from our wives. Proverbs 15:22 (NIV) reminds us, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers, they succeed.” Seeking counsel and learning from those who have walked the path before us can help us avoid unnecessary pitfalls and make more informed decisions.

Your wife can be a wellspring of wisdom. In Proverbs 31:26 (NIV), it says, “She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” Don’t let pride blind you to the lessons she can teach you. Embrace humility by being open to her insights and advice.

Becoming a Whole Man

As men, we often define ourselves by our strength, our independence, and our ability to provide for our families. While these qualities are essential, they are not complete without humility. Embracing humility allows us to learn, to grow, and to evolve.

When we are humble, we become better fathers, husbands, and friends. We open ourselves up to deeper relationships, and we recognize that our strength comes not just from our physical abilities but also from our ability to acknowledge our weaknesses and seek help when needed.

In conclusion, the power of humility is an essential tool in a man’s journey to true manhood. It teaches us to recognize our limitations, seek wisdom from God and others, and become better, more complete individuals. So, let us embrace humility as we strive to become whole men who not only provide but also lead with wisdom, grace, and love.

Equipped Men Dealing with Insecurity

Silas Bamigbola

In today’s world, many men grapple with feelings of insecurity. Whether it’s about their abilities, appearance, or place in society, these feelings can weigh heavily on a man’s mind and spirit. But the truth is, your security as a man is rooted in a source that transcends all earthly concerns – it is found in God alone.

The Foundation of Security: God

Your security as a man is not determined by your job, your looks, or your social status. Instead, it is deeply rooted in your relationship with God. The Bible reminds us in Psalm 62:2, “He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.” As a man, when you place your trust in God, you can be assured that you are on a firm foundation.

Insecurity often stems from a knowledge gap – something you don’t know or something you think you know incorrectly. This can lead to doubts and fears that erode your self-confidence. The good news is that God provides wisdom and knowledge to those who seek Him. Proverbs 2:6 says, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

As you delve into God’s Word and seek His guidance, you’ll find the knowledge you need to overcome your insecurities. God’s wisdom can fill the gaps in your understanding and give you the confidence to face life’s challenges.

False Knowledge and Insecurity

Insecurity can also be fueled by false knowledge about yourself. You may have internalized negative beliefs or lies about who you are. These misconceptions can hinder your personal growth and leave you feeling inadequate.

Romans 12:2 advises us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Through prayer and reflection on God’s truth, you can replace these false beliefs with His promises. When you understand your identity in Christ, you’ll be better equipped to tackle insecurity head-on.

Becoming an Equipped Man

Becoming an equipped man is the key to preventing insecurity from taking root in your life. Equip yourself with knowledge – both the knowledge of God’s Word and the knowledge of your true identity in Him. When you are firmly grounded in these truths, you’ll find the strength to confront your insecurities and cast them aside.

Insecurity often arises from a fear of inadequacy, but 2 Corinthians 3:5 reminds us, “Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.” Your sufficiency, as a man, is not self-generated but comes from your relationship with God.

So, what does it mean to be an equipped man? It means embracing your identity in Christ, seeking His wisdom, and letting go of false beliefs that hold you back. It means trusting in God’s unchanging love and grace. When you are equipped with the knowledge of God’s Word and His promises, you’ll stand secure in the face of life’s challenges.

In conclusion, every man faces insecurity at some point in life. But remember, your security as a man is found in God alone. Seek His wisdom, discard false beliefs, and become an equipped man. By doing so, you will prevent insecurity from gaining a foothold in your life, and you’ll stand firm in the knowledge that you are loved, valued, and secure in God’s hands.

Cultivating Equipped and Resourceful Minds

Silas Bamigbola

In a world filled with challenges and opportunities, the quest to become equipped and resourceful men is an aspiration shared by many young individuals. To embark on this journey, we turn to the wisdom of a simple yet profound poem:

FECUND MIND

If you want to set

The soles of your feet

On lands and to realms you have never been,

Caress, smooch, and romance books.

The mind is a wide, bare, fecund land,

Where needful trees must be rooted in,

And if left to fallow,

Weeds find their abodes on it.

Like whetstones to swords,

Sharpen and hone your mind with books,

And in years to come,

With it, you rip the flesh of enemies,

And heal the souls of men.

–Silas Bamigbola (Lost Boys)

The words above, inspire us to unlock our potential through the power of knowledge. Let’s delve into how this poem embodies the essence of becoming equipped and resourceful men.

1. Setting Foot on Uncharted Lands

The first stanza of the poem urges us to set our soles on uncharted lands. This is a metaphor for exploring new territories, be it in our careers, personal lives, or the pursuit of wisdom. To embark on this journey, we must “caress, smooch, and romance books.” Books are our guides, mentors, and windows to the world’s collective knowledge. By immersing ourselves in literature, we equip our minds with the tools to navigate the unknown.

2. The Fecund Mind

The mind, as described in the poem, is portrayed as a wide, bare, fecund land. Just like fertile soil, the mind must be cultivated with care. Neglect allows weeds to take root, symbolizing the dangers of ignorance and misinformation. To become equipped and resourceful men, we must nurture our minds by sowing the seeds of knowledge and critical thinking. It is through this process that the “needful trees” of wisdom take root, giving us the foundation for growth.

3. Sharpening the Mind with Books

The second stanza emphasizes the importance of sharpening our minds with books. Much like a whetstone hones a blade, books serve as the tools for honing our intellect and skills. In the words of the poem, we are reminded that with a well-prepared mind, we can “rip the flesh of enemies” and “heal the souls of men.” This dichotomy reflects the dual power of knowledge – the ability to overcome challenges and contribute positively to the lives of others.

In conclusion, the journey to becoming equipped and resourceful men is one that demands constant nurturing of the mind. The poem “FECUND MIND” serves as a timeless reminder that books and the pursuit of knowledge are our faithful companions on this path. We must embrace them wholeheartedly, for it is through our commitment to learning that we will thrive, overcome adversities, and make a lasting impact on the world.

In a world where opportunities abound, and challenges are ever-present, it is our responsibility to harness the power of the fecund mind, to set foot on uncharted lands, and to embrace the wisdom that books offer. Through this, we can become equipped and resourceful men, poised to shape the future with knowledge as our ally.

How to Become Equipped and Resourceful Men

Silas Bamigbola

From last week, we began our discussion on equipped men. We observed that many men struggle to understand what it truly means to be a man in today’s world. If you aspire to be a better man, it all begins with a willingness to learn and embracing humility. In this post, we’ll explore practical steps to help you become an equipped and resourceful man, guided by biblical wisdom.

1. Acknowledge the Need for Growth

The first step towards becoming a resourceful man is acknowledging that you don’t have all the answers. Embrace the fact that it’s perfectly okay not to know everything. Realize that growth requires humility. The journey to becoming a better man begins with the recognition that there is always room for improvement.

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” – 2 Peter 3:18

2. Surround Yourself with Good Company

The question we should ask ourselves is: Who are our friends, and with whom do we spend our time? The people you choose to surround yourself with can significantly influence your character and the resources you have at your disposal. This is where the power of good company comes into play.

Dive deeply into the concept of “good company.” Seek out friends and mentors who inspire you, challenge you, and support your growth. These individuals will not only provide you with valuable insights and advice but also serve as a source of inspiration and motivation. A good company can elevate you, just as a poor one can drag you down.

3. Be Selective in Your Community

The community you choose to be a part of can shape your destiny. A supportive, empowering, and knowledgeable community can help you grow as a man. Seek out groups, organizations, or networks that align with your values and goals. Surround yourself with individuals who encourage your personal and professional development.

4. Seek Guidance and Mentorship

Don’t be hesitant to seek guidance and mentorship. Learning from those who have walked the path before you can provide invaluable insights. A mentor can offer guidance, share their experiences, and provide you with the wisdom needed to navigate life’s challenges.

5. Give Back to Your Community

Becoming equipped and resourceful isn’t just about personal growth; it’s also about giving back to your community. Being a resourceful man means helping others on their journey to self-improvement. Share your knowledge, support, and experience with those around you. By doing so, you not only reinforce your own growth but also create a positive impact on the lives of others.

In conclusion, becoming an equipped and resourceful man involves a combination of self-awareness, humility, and a supportive community, guided by the wisdom of biblical teachings. Surround yourself with individuals who inspire and challenge you, be selective in your community choices, seek mentorship, and, most importantly, pay it forward. The journey to becoming a better man is a lifelong endeavor, and by following these practical steps, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goal.

Remember: it’s not just about what you know but also about the quality of the people you surround yourself with and the impact you make on the world. So, who is pouring into you, and how will you pour into others?

Equipped Men!

Silas Bamigbola

In our society, we see a multitude of men who are ill-prepared to be the best versions of themselves, husbands, and fathers. It’s a harsh reality that contributes to the existence of many struggling men, husbands, and fathers. The path to becoming a better man lies in being well-equipped, both spiritually and mentally.

The Quest for Equipped Manhood

As a man, your journey toward self-improvement begins with the recognition that there’s more to being a man than meets the eye. My friend Raymond Oluwalola once said, “Silas, God can bring us into our full element as men.” This profound statement holds true for every man, but it necessitates a willingness to go through the process of becoming a well-equipped man.

A Relationship with God

The very first step toward becoming an equipped man is establishing a meaningful relationship with God. Recognize that life is spiritual, and equipping yourself against the plans of the enemy is crucial. Moreover, as a man, you are meant to be a strong foundation and protector for your family. Building a strong connection with God through prayer and studying His word is essential to becoming that unshakable foundation.

Discovering Your Life Purpose

Every man has a unique purpose in life. To fulfill that purpose, you must embark on a journey of self-discovery. This journey may require you to face challenges and make sacrifices, but it is an essential step toward becoming the man you were meant to be. It’s about understanding your calling with the help of God and working tirelessly to fulfill it, setting an example for your family and community.

The Power of Knowledge and Growth

Equipping yourself as a man also involves a commitment to continuous learning and growth. Read books, listen to the wisdom of others, and immerse yourself in educational and transformative materials. Expand your mind and broaden your horizons. By doing so, you’ll gain the knowledge and wisdom necessary to become the man God intended you to be.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the journey to becoming an equipped man is not easy, but it is profoundly rewarding. Start by strengthening your relationship with God, understanding your life purpose, and committing to personal growth. Remember that you have the power to grow and reach your full potential.

Embrace the process of self-improvement and watch as you evolve into the man you were destined to be – a man who not only enriches his own life but also serves as a source of strength, guidance, and inspiration to his family and community.

The path to becoming an equipped man is before you. Take that first step today, and you’ll be amazed at the transformation that unfolds.
