Kingdom Men Rising: An 8-Day Reading Plan

ỤBỌCHỊ 6 NKE 8

Setting the Stage

Developing strong muscles involves a process of tearing the fibers in your body in order to give your body the opportunity to produce muscle growth. The process of building muscles is painful because you cannot strengthen your muscles any other way.

Similarly, developing your spiritual walk as a kingdom man often comes during the difficulties and painful scenarios of life. That is when most men will see the most growth, if we respond to our challenges rightly. Yet if you choose to simply nurse your wound and complain about the experience, you will not grow. It’s only when you push through the pain that you discover glory on the other side.

Kingdom men have obtained a spiritual inheritance from the Lord, but this inheritance is not only for them, it is for all who come into contact with them. To honor what they’ve been given, kingdom men must focus on their spiritual growth and development. It is the responsibility of every kingdom man to take the kingdom inheritance and share it with others. This is the process of discipleship. It is the process where one kingdom man takes the values of the kingdom and transfers them to another who will then transfer them to another man.

This is our responsibility. This is what Abraham did with his son Isaac. What Elijah did with Elisha. What Jesus did with the Twelve. What Paul did with Timothy. We are to do nothing less. Even if that means stepping out of your comfort zone. Standing for God will not always be popular, but it will always reap rewards.

Discipleship takes boldness. Confidence. Love. Awareness. Commitment. Perhaps you used some of these traits to describe the person in the previous question. Difficult conversations on subjects of truth, sin, and redemption aren’t easy. They require courage. People don’t always want to hear the truth. Discipleship isn’t necessarily fun. But neither are drills, conditioning, or weight lifting. Yet all of that is necessary to strengthen our muscles. Similarly, discipleship is necessary for a kingdom man to pass on a spiritual inheritance.

Transferring kingdom values must take place on a regular basis through personal examples and authentic conversations about those examples. It’s not done only through seminars, books, or radio broadcasts. Those things are good, but they are supplemental. The transferring of kingdom values, as clearly outlined in Scripture, takes place person to person and heart to heart.

At the root of all the issues we face in our nation, communities, churches, families, and in our own individual lives is this lack of transference of kingdom values. Discipleship is a simple process, but it isn’t easy. That’s why we need to be strong in the grace Jesus gives. However, we can always be certain, the grace we need will always be supplied as we become more like Jesus.
