was divided and his strength multiplied! This is because in the phalanx, your weakness was supported by the collective, and your strengths were increased by the same!

Phalanx -A body of troops standing or moving in close formation.

Step 1

Connect with a brotherhood

U

nfortunately, it is very

difficult to find a brotherhood of Christian men with whom to connect. The bulk of Christian ministries and most if not all of today’s churches are primarily female. However, if you find a strong group of Christian men, don’t take the opportunity lightly. Link up!

Without an anointed/godly network of masculine support, you will not be successful

Step 2

Maintain accountability

O

ne of the most difficult

things to do is maintain accountability to mature Christian men. It’s a sharpening experience that most find uncomfortable.

However, if you continue to plug into husbands, fathers and righteous single men, you’ll become stronger than many of the ailments around you.

A friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 17:17

Step 3 Strengthen your brothers

W

hen battles are won,

soldiers often forget the men with whom they took up arms. However, Gods best is for you to continue to pour into the men in your life. You’re either being sharpened or sharpening someone else, but God exempts no man from that process.

As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17
