Men... Stand Up and Show Out | Dominion



"You have Dominion over all the Earth".... is what Pastor Thomas Evans stated in Sunday Service(Dominion Worship Center) as I went to visit a friend and some brothers from the Men's breakfast meeting. Pastor stated the reply... Why do we let the Earth have Dominion over us as human..? The drugs are from the grass and planets (earth), the drinks are from grapes..  more (earth).  But he back it up with bible verses, and it states.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  

Now at this point, I'm a little freaked out but it all made sense. Not being focus on God,won't allow us as  Men to focus on the things we want to achieve or advance to. And there are lot of things we want to get to, move from and act on, yet we still think we can do all this by our own self. As Pastor Evans went on about Men being the back bone over the earth, why we don't have more then we got and want to have. It's easy, we don't know what we want, nor do we get in position for God plan for our lives. It like not standing up for something and  getting nothing in the process. We just take what is given without expecting more from our self and knowing that you are not going to show up to see what can be done. We're missing the  possibility of opening new doors.

Now as I see it, That statement changed my life on the way I see my and my actions. More like Pastor Troy Maxwell stated at (Freedom House) early services. Make the first move, stop with the small thinking, the victim thinking, negative thinking, defeated thinking, poverty thinking, selfish thinking and shame thinking. All this type of thinking will hold you back from stand up nor show out your abilities to be a Great Man!

For me... I had to see something much bigger then now. I had to look at the big picture and think like those millionaires think. There are only 9-10% of people think on a level we don't understand.. because they see their vision and plans and strategy to get to their goal. Taking time out to see the goal, Studying the route to get there, building the relationship to make the bridge. It's funny cause that sound like the same way to get to God. Taking out time to seek Him, Studying His word for our life plan and Retaining a intimate  relationship with your Father God. WOW! Now that's deep but true.  Moving back to the point.  These Millionaires are connected to the sources  that make them beyond our sights. You can get there as well, but you will need a few things. 1. Realize that God Love you, (me)  2. Remember that God woke you up and allow you to do all over again and again, 3. Reckon or consider that your ways of life is old and 4. Replace your old way for new ones.  Once you do this you can start a new. Which by the way is best part of you life, You have the chances to make your life any way you please. Its like walking into a new door of life.. What are you going to do with it. How are you going to be responsible for the life, your choice and the life that you become?  Know that the hurdles are there to jump over, but seek your goals and plan it out with the full details that will begin to manifest its life.

Ok, that's was deep again, but also true.. I will tell you this. Your destiny can be small or large only you know where you want to be and what it will take to get there. Are you willing  to do the work to be there?  Are you willing to Stand Up to what you believe and Fight to get there as well as remaining there and Are you willing to Show Out, which means sharing with others so that your leagues can live on beyond your timeline.. Listen, I want you to be your best and enjoy life as rejoice in the life God gave you.

Have Dominion over your life, (As Pinky and Brain would say...) what are going to tomorrow Brain, Take over the world Pinky, Take over your Dominion.

DE!

Men...Stand Up and Show Out | Relationships



August 12, 2012. I am all about relationships. First and foremost I have intimacy with My Father. Holy Spirit moves as Father God directs as well. We operate as one, though We have distinct identities each and of ourselves. I listened attentively, so as to not have My own agenda with Him. He talks, I listen. He leads and I follow.  Holy Spirit moves within you according to the will of the Father too. It is all about His will being accomplished.  Can you see the perfect pattern We have modeled before you? Don't underestimate the power of operating in unity and oneness. Secure, develop and maintain a cherished relationship with My Father.

Psalm 84:10 (NIV) "Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I  would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." Kevin Robinson



Once I read this and felt compelled to re-think what my relationship is with God. Did I do everything I needed to do yesterday,even though yesterday was in my past and I have to look forward to my tomorrow. What is it that I need to do today. Open my eyes and praise God for another day. Look for a Great outcome and expect that He will give me an increase in favor and bless me with mercy. Throughout my day I will give Him the glory and be thankful for it. I will speak to my God and Father about what is needed, visions, ideas, concerns  and bring my decision before Him and seek guidance. These are all the lesson that I must do for me and with that I can grow and Stand Up and Show Out for God. Much Like David did when he dances nude for the joy of God blessings.  So I too dance, sing and praise Father God for my Life.  Men stop what you are doing and prayer over your life and your family life, speak what you desire and repent of all your sins. Let go and Let God. Stand Up and Show Out for your life Men be a Man.. 

Men.. Make a stand with me today...   

DE!

Men.. Stand Up and Show Out.. | For a Man



For a Man to see himself to be great, He once has to find himself. As Men we all walk the path that we think will improve our way of life, quality of being and measuring our goals by the among of success we’ve received. Where, What and When does our success begin as a man, that doesn’t give back to others. We think we live better based on the money we have in our account, the cars and houses we contain. But truth is, are you happy. 

Having the women, clothes, and the American Dream, while others around you are looking up to you.  Men that wear the Mask forget Who and what was taught to us as we grew up or growing up. Didn’t Jesus give to those that didn’t have, the one in prison, the lame, and those  in pain. “God’s word” told us to love our neighbor like we love ourselves. Give to those that don’t have.

There are a few men that stood up for what they believe for our freedom, for educations, for our life, but we forget that. How do we as Men give back so that those that looks up at us Men, a better opportunity and the advancement of an quality life to share with others.  Women have shown and proved in today’s world, life is about empowerment each other while working closely together to doing anything and stand up for it now and later. While we as Men sit around and let them do it and we will get to it later. 
I read the Miseducated Negro, But it should be read the Miseducation Man, The one that didn’t stand up for something or they believes. Leaders are failing by the waste side, we are short and few, So where are you (men)?  

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” 
 
Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham City Jail

Ask yourself this two questions, As a Men what have I Stood Up for, and What will I Stand for?  Do we stand up for Domestic Violence, or Homelessness, or better yet Education for the youth?  So many things, like mentoring boys or giving back to girl’s groups? Do we support our Home when we work so hard to support the bills and not the time that is needed as Father, Husband, Brother, Uncle, Grandfather. So what do you Stand Up for? Peace, Family, Hungry, or Life.

The idea behind Men Stand Up and Show blog is show Men that Stands Up for something.   Malcolm X  stated, “If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.” 
 
We must find ourselves to Stand Up and Show Out, to be Great!  Who is with me?
