Mistakes Men Make!

Recently I was asked to speak at our men's mentoring graduation service for all the men who have been in the program all year & completed it. I will share along these lines & pray it is encouraging, insightful & helpful to you as well-



TEN MISTAKES MEN MAKE:

1. They think it's all about them- men must realize the "other" person factor & look at the bigger picture!

2. They don't plan for the future- men must stop just thinking of today & plan for tomorrow!

3. They have a tendency to neglect their role- men must accept they are the leader & lead!

4. They want & expect others to serve them- men don't want to serve but love being served!

5. They shy away from their authority- men must move in the authority they have been given as husbands, fathers & covering!

6. They wait for permission before leading- men are natural leaders & must lead then others will follow!

7. They are visually driven- men cannot be driven only by sight but must learn to follow the heart!

8. They tend to only see the temporary- men must look to the future & not focus only on the immediate!

9. They live in & for the moment- men react without thinking of the actions their choice will have!

10. They are prideful & lean on their own strength- men think they don't need anyone & can do it all themselves!

Ask the Lord to give you insight & help in these pitfalls men seem to live in & overcome them so we might become the Super man that God created for us to live as. Leave me a comment & let me know if this hits home with any men today!
