BUILDING MEN, Day 3
THE TIGHTER YOUR FRIENDSHIP, THE MORE DEADLY YOU WILL BE!
Many fathers believe they just need to raise a few bullets without considering they need to "hand-load" each one of them! Precision accuracy and multi-generational-impact is not unattainable. In fact, God created us as men to disciple and launch other men!
Without the oil of friendship, your sons won't fit into the barrel of destiny! How will they trust the gunpowder of GOD’S WORD if we haven't invested a true friendship behind our discipleship?
My dad is still good friends with his dad (my grandfather), and I am really good friends with both of them! Hopefully, this will eliminate two-thirds of the life mistakes that I would have otherwise made, going through life by trial and error!
Most fathers want their sons to learn the hard life lessons they did! Yet the question is not whether or not they should learn the lessons, but how. It is always far more efficient to learn life lessons from our leader's mistakes!
Fathers, share not only your successes but your failures! Share the lessons you have learned from mistakes with your sons and young men you are fathering!
Proverbs 11:2 (NIV): "When pride comes then comes disgrace but with the humble is wisdom."
