It is funny how people try to buy legacy. Either when they are about to end a career or die or their family trying to get it for them when they are dead. However the choice of legacy is not bought through false positive behaviours. On the matter of legacy would we continue our conversation on wisdom for the Road Part 3, sharing my noted from the book Wisdom from Myles Munroe.

We take our next trip on the wisdom for the Road. Summary from last week is that it is wisdom to never drop our childlike faith. It is important also to live reflectively. Gathering lessons for those we meet on the way in live, so their paths can be better than ours. It is also important that you are not just caught up with trying to live longer without knowing why you are living. And living in wisdom demands that you know your purpose. So the question for you now is that, do you know your purpose? 

As you reflect on that question here is the next 10 wisdom for the Road.

Myles Munroe said "only with God's wisdom can believers forge ahead to make the world a safer, stronger, and more beautiful place."

How powerful and needful is that statement now especially for us as men to build beautiful families that are bedrock of  every society. 

Even the Bible charged us with getting wisdom. Proverbs 16:16a says " how much better to get wisdom than gold "

The next four weeks we will be discussing wisdom, reviewing the book Wisdom from Myles Munroe. I will share 40 wisdom keys I got from the book for the next four weeks under a theme wisdom for the Road.

In this episode 10 key wisdom for the Road is shared. on today's

As Godly men will indeed should emanate compassion, humility, service, and love. However we must know there is another layer which is godliness. Have many in this generation have chosen the conveniences of niceness over the discomforts of godliness. If you must love your children like as shared in this episode, you must be godly, meaning you become the King's man. The King men, don't play with wooden swords against the forces of evil, they destroy evil in order to create the safest culture for their women and children. They are dangerous men under God, holding one another accountable. They protect and nourish their families.

As we end this series on winning the war on sexual  temptation. What a journey it has been for the last six week discussing lessons from the book Everyman' Battle, how to win the war on sexual temptation one victory at a time written by Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker with Mike Yorkey. We themed the conversation on six topics from asking where are you on the spectrum, how did you get there, knowing victory is a matter of choice, your first line of defense as the eye(bourcing), second line of defence which is your mind was the conversation last week.

Today is our last  line of defense is having victory in your heart

We are a part away from our conversation on winning sexual temptations. Today is our second defense perimeter, the mind. And it is the most crafty and difficult to bring under control. However for you to master it, your first line of defense must be put in place. This should be an extra motivation for you to build your first line of defense. 

This line from our reference book "Every Man's Battle" captures our focus " the mind needs an object for its lust, so when the eyes view sexual images, the mind has plenty to dance with. Without those images, the mind has an empty dance card. By starving the eyes, you starve the mind as well."

To ensure victory in this war is to build a reflex action by training your eyes to bounce away from the sexual appearance. Doing this immediately makes your mind and eyes to understand your values and they cooperate with you.

Of note is that there will be resistance, your body will fight back, it won't want to give up on its pleasures. The authors of the book Every Man's Battle shared two logical steps to help you overcome this resistance:

Studying yourself to know how and where are you attacked most?. And define your defense for each of the greatest enemies you've identified. In this episode we discuss how to build your line of first defense, the eyes.

It is important to remember that victory in this war is a choice. In this episode, we shared thought from the book "Every Man's Battle". A profound truth shared by Arterburn and the co-authors is that God will run with us, but He won't run for us.  

The difference between those of us that have won or would yet win and those who have failed and would yet fail is this. Those who won or  wants to win, hated their impurity. The decision is entering this war to win or die trying. This episode ask a critical question of you, do you hate your impurity?

Last week, we reflected on the question where are you in the battle on sexual temptations. We established that though enjoying sexualized jokes and living in your fantasy world is the foundation for your ultimate fall, there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain. We left with a challenge for ourselves as men single or married to commit  to our brides(Christ and earthly wife)

Picking up further lessons from the book we are reviewing, Every Man's Battle  by  Stephen Arterburn and Co.  Today we will reflection on the question how did you get here. It is important to know how you got to where you are in your struggle with sexual temptations in order to achieve adequate victory.

We have found ourselves in a time and space where everything around us makes an attack on sexual purity for men an outright war. The internet age has increased men's sensual image dose. Though it is impossible to avoid such temptations, it is a fight every man can win. For the next six episodes, we will be exploring Stephen Arterburn,  Fred Stoeker, and Mike Yorkey’s work "Every Man's Battle", to give you effective weapons to win this war on sexual Temptation and have sexual integrity. By the end of these six-part episodes, you should have gotten some practical steps towards your victory over sexual temptation be set free to also help others. In part one we will reflect on the question "where are you in this battle?"
