There is Power in a praying man...
I never really knew or understood the power of a praying man until I started really growing up.
Since the age of 24, I have been so blessed to be exposed and to know praying men.
In the 21st century, there appears to be a lot of women in church. Although the numbers are changing but there seems to be a general consensus that woman tend to open their hearts easier to God than men do.
In the 21st century, women are also taking on a lot more responsibility than God may have intended them to. Woman are becoming more independent than in previous years and in some cases there seems to be a shift in the roles of Men and Women in the households.
Women are taking on the roles of mothers as well as fathers and although I salute those strong women out there whose men may have left them with the responsibility of raising their kids alone, I'm talking about women who choose to carry the responsibility alone.
The reason why I started with the emphasis on church is because women are been encouraged to be a praying woman, to pray for their households, their husbands, their children. So many books have been written about the power of a praying woman, wife, mother and although all of this is good, I love the praying man.
I was listening to a DVD a couple of weeks back where TD Jakes talks about how the devils main starting point in destroying a family is to start with the head of the family. According to the word of God, the head of the family is the MAN.
The devil knows that if he successfully eliminated or even wounds the "head of the family", the rest of the family will be left unprotected. Lets elaborate on this statement.
The head of the family is the protector, the provider, he leads the family. If the devil eliminated the head of the family, the family is left vulnerable and easier to be targeted by the devil. Therefore although I am not taking anything away from a woman who prays for a husband, a loving woman would cover her man in prayer. I am saying that there is tremendous power in a praying man.
Real men do pray and a real man must pray. Prayer as a man does not only begin when you are a husband or a father but it is a life long commitment that a man must make from a young age as prayer succeeds when all else fails.
A praying man can be set apart, he loves God above all else and always puts his commitment to God as the most important priority in his life.
A praying man makes decisions that are centred around his relationship with God.
A praying man will do things that are impossible to the world because the spirit of God lives in him.
A praying man will love one woman and place no one except God above her.
A praying man will show weakness to God for it is through weakness that his strength is developed.
A praying man is lead by God and not by anything else or any other external forces.
A praying man chooses to love, Honor, respect, adore and be faithful to one woman.
A praying man admits his mistakes and prays to God to help him to stop making those mistakes.
I could go on and on about the characteristics of a praying man.
I pray that all women and children out there get to witness the "POWER OF A PRAYING MAN" in their lives.
Thank you God for My Praying Man :-)
