WARRIORS CHALLENGE

Questions to ask ourselves.

Are we as men entering our Canaan Land?

Canaan land is where God wants all his men to be!


WHAT IS HOLDING US BACK?

1. Lust, that is based on satisfying self at the expense of God and others[ Love gives, Lust gets]

2. Idolatry, do we as men create a value system in which we esteem something to be more worthy of our devotion, to God? Example, Power, Prestige, Education, Money, Business, Religion, Popularity, Ego, Pornography.

3. Fornication, this incluides every kind of sex sin , sin is still sin in Gods eyes no matter what the world says.

4. Tempting Christ, Lying and cheating in business and demanding that God bless and prosper us is TEMPTING CHRIST. Are we as men demaning that God do that is contrary to his will, or inconsistent with his character? Also are we deman that he provide some way of salvation other then the CROSS?.

5. Murmuring, in its simplest form is nothing more or less then NEGATIVE CONFESSION, Complaining, Criticzing, Faultfinding, Rumoring. 1 Corinthians 5 speaks of the railer, one who is a slanderer, blasphemer, reviler. What comes out our mouth eather speaks [LIFE OR DEATH]

Are we as men falling into the desires, appetites, and passions of this world?

We as men must look at each of these five sin and ask ourselves if we have a problem in this area, going before THE LORD GOD, humbly asking him to show us which of these are holding us from entering our Canaan Land, Confessing them and ask God to forgive us

God wants us men to enter into Canaan, that place of Rest, Blessing, Ability and Authority. But are we still wandering in the wilderness, dying because of Sin,

Never becoming all that GOD intended us to be?

I like this!! What you have identified is what keeps men from "Entering In". Now that we've identified what keeps us out, let us pursue and keep these items in mind so that we can enter in.

All the areas addressed in the "Warriors Challenge" as problem areas for men have an answer! Our instruction manual says in Proverbs 25:28 "Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls." To be a courageous leader, every man must master one significant obstacle...FEELINGS. Instead of working hard for a high IQ (intelligence quotient)we need to work on our EQ (emotional quotient) Authentic Manhood is a man that leads courageously, rejects passivity, accepts responsibility and expects the greater reward, God's reward. It is critical to band as brothers, hold each other accountable and help each other through when the going gets tough. You cannot do it alone. That's just what satan wants...seperation and division. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. An undercurrent is moving throughout Kalamazoo where like minded men are uniting to take Canaan by storm!
