Welcome to Mighty Men's Training Institute

 

"Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain." Ps. 76:10

Wicked men will be wrathful. Their anger we must endure as the badge of our calling, the token of our separation from them: if we were of the world, the world would love its own. Our comfort is that the wrath of man shall be made to redound to the glory of God. When in their wrath the wicked crucified the Son of God they were unwittingly fulfilling the divine purpose, and in a thousand cases the willfulness of the ungodly is doing the same. They think themselves free, but like convicts in chains they are unconsciously working out the decrees of the Almighty.

The devices of the wicked are overruled for their defeat. They act in a suicidal way, and baffle their own plottings. Nothing will come of their wrath which can do us real harm. When they burned the martyrs, the smoke which blew from the stake sickened men of Popery more than anything else.

Meanwhile, the Lord has a muzzle and a chain for bears. He restrains the more furious wrath of the enemy. He is like a miller who holds back the mass of the water in the stream, and what he does allow to flow he uses for the turning of his wheel. Let us not sigh, but sing. All is well, however hard the wind blows.

"Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest." Josh. 1:7

Yes, the Lord will be with us in our holy war, but He demands of us that we strictly follow His rules. Our victories will very much depend upon our obeying Him with all our heart, throwing strength and courage into the actions of our faith. If we are halfhearted we cannot expect more than half a blessing.

We must obey the Lord with care and thoughtfulness. "Observe to do" is the phrase used, and it is full of meaning. This is referred to every part of the divine will; we must obey with universal readiness. Our rule of conduct is "according to all the law." We may not pick and choose, but we must take the Lord's commands as they come, one and all. In all this we must go on with exactness and constancy. Ours is to be a straightforward course, which bends neither to the right nor to the left. We are not to err by being more rigid than the law, nor turn out of levity to a more free and easy way. With such obedience there will come spiritual prosperity. O Lord, help us to see if it be not even so! We shall not test thy promise in vain.

Lord, I pray that You would convict me of any error in my life. Cleanse me from any secret sins and teach me to be a person who is quick to confess when I am wrong. Help me to recognize my mistakes. Give me eyes to see Your truth and ears to hear Your voice.

Lord, I pray that You would make me a person of integrity, according to Your standards. Give me strength to say "Yes" when I should say "Yes", and courage to say "No" when I should say "No". Enable me to stand for what I know is right and not waver under pressure from the world.

Bring me to full repentance before You. If there is suffering to be done, let it be the suffering of a remorseful heart and not because the crushing hand of the enemy has found an opening into my life through unconfessed sin.

Lord, I know that humility must come before honor. Take away all pride that would cause me to deny my faults and where I have erred in this and other matters, give me a heart that is quick to confess my mistakes. Give me a teachable spirit that is willing to listen and grow in Your ways.  Amen

Commit to Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed {Proverbs 16:3}

              In order to fulfill your destiny, you have to make a plan according to God's purpose and stay focused to fulfill that plan. Wake up each day knowing where you're headed, which direction you're taking and what you are going to accomplish--and then stick with it! Don't allow the distractions and busyness of life get you off course. Ask yourself, "Is what I'm doing moving me towards my God-given destiny? Is this my purpose in life, or am I just wasting time being busy and not really making any progress? Proverbs 4:25 says, "Keep your eyes fixed straight ahead. Don't look to the left and don't look to the right. "Don't be distracted and spend your time and energy on things that are not helping you fulfill your destiny. 
                               Remember, God's plans are blessed, and as you walk in His plan for your life, you will experience His abundance in everything you set your hand to!


               Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the plan that You have for my life. Help me set my schedule to accomplish Your will today. Thank You for the Holy Spirit who is my Comforter and leads and guides me into all truth. Help me honor You in all Ido today.

All of life is based on principles and follows patterns. Patterns are ways in which the universe operates. Seedtime and harvest is a pattern.
We become successful and prosper when we base our life on principles and find the patterns that work for us. Ask God to show you your Pattern.

When we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. So, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the wonderful power of the Father, we also can live a new life.    Romans 6:4

God's Word is clear: When we genuinely invite Him to reign over our hearts, and when we accept His transforming love, we are forever changed. When we welcome Christ into our hearts, an old life ends and a new way of living---along with a completely new way of viewing the world---begins.

Each morning offers a fresh opportunity to invite Christ, yet once again, to rule over our hearts and our days. Each morning presents yet another opportunity to take up His cross and follow in His footsteps. Today, let us rejoice in the new life that is ours through Christ, and let us follow Him, step by step, on the path He first walked.

 

Heavenly Father, renew in me the passion to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Make the experience of my conversion real and fresh so that I might be an effective witness for You. Amen

God knows that sometimes the greatest miracle is not the miraculous supply of money---it is when we learn money discipline.

Seek Spiritual Health First and Financial Health Second:

To do otherwise is to risk God's disapproval.
