Points to have at heart
?Galatians 4:1-4 As long a heir is a child, he is not entitled the inheritance until he mature up to become responsible and the age of management the property of his father. Therefore the boy should grow to become a responsible man, because Men are responsible.
?Men ought to be orderly, the way they talk, the way they carry themselves, the way they dress, the way they eat, the way they do things, but boys are not.
?Real Men are principled, they are not tossed to & fro by mere circumstances
?Real Men handle situations and calm them down
?Real Men are clothed with humility as they carry out their responsibilities.
?They are vision carriers of their generation.
?They should be Men of nobility
