Thoughts To Consider

PREVIEW Apostle Jerlette Mickie addresses the Men of faith in this 21st Century in a subject that reflects the heartbeat of God today: "Men Possessing The Total Package," for daily success in life. We are living and enduring the results of generations past, where Men in the Kingdom of God have taken the passive role in serving God. For years we have not understood our role as Men created in the image of God our Father, and as caretakers of this world we live in. Man has been given the assignment of “ruling over” things on earth, which God our Father created for us to have Dominion. Failure has been the result and downfall of man because of the lack of knowledge, not knowing the Word of God, not knowing who we are, the man God created to accomplish the assignment at hand of being in charge. The world's way of being in charge has dominated Men of today, and unfortunately, this thinking has invaded the church, ultimately and tragically not representing or presenting the way of the Kingdom of God. Romans 12:2 - boldly proclaims, … be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. In the book you now embark upon reading and receiving from, you will know “The World's Way of Thinking” is not the life journey you want to be on, but clearly the path foreordained for you will be made clear as you understand “Kingdom Mindset” for your success in your walk of faith. Men of faith, The Apostle will teach you: your place is in the Kingdom of God, to be planted in a church, a ministry of God thereby dispelling the ideologies of generations past that church was just for women and children, but is the place for Men to lead their families. This old ideology, that a man was weak if he was under the authority of leadership has isolated generations of Men from obtaining the necessary tools needed to equip us with the knowledge to fulfill the awesome purpose and plan of our God given assignment. Romans 10:13-14 - promises "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (vs14) - How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher (a Leader)? For too long Men have forfeited the opportunity of not being knowledgeable of the Word of God, of not being in a place to receive the revelation of the Word of God, of not being in a place of receiving impartation from the Word of God. Men chose to separate themselves from the Church; they chose not to call on the name of the Lord, therefore being positioned to not have the capacity to believe, because they didn't place themselves under the authority of a Preacher (a Leader). We are privileged to have a Man of God, the honorable Apostle Jerlette Mickie who shares his personal experiences, and his knowledge of the Word of God to help equip our generation, and those to come, to get in our rightful place of blessing, so that God can use us to advance His Kingdom, Ruling, and having Dominion in this Earth, fulfilling His purpose through us. The principles shared in this book will help equip the Men of this century to develop a personal relationship with God so that no situation or circumstance can detour or derail us from being totally successful in our walk with God our Father. The instructions shared are made easy to identify the foundational truths needed to walk in harmony with the Lord. It is made clear in these writings the role of a Godly Man in this society is the solution to all of our social ills that affect our families and churches. Men must be in the position of authority to lead, protect, and cover. We can only do this by taking to heart the principles in the pages of this book that the Man of God has shared through thirty years of ministry experience. Living for God will become an exciting experience when we apply knowledge from the Word of God. Each chapter deals with a very important subject matter for spiritual development. Truly, “Men Possessing The Total Package” will motivate and inspire you to become a better YOU operating in the principles of God's Word, which will propel you into experiencing God's Best in every area of your life, not only your life, but in the lives of everyone connected to you. This book opens up new levels of commitment that I have personally benefited from. It also lets me know as a member of the five-fold ministry, that we are on the path to success by educating our Men of this generation. Teaching them to love God with all their heart, soul, and mind and revealing to them that they can only accomplish this kind of love through the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary will bring much success. Praise God for Men of God who are not ashamed to stand and declare words of wisdom to this generation. May God continue to enlighten this Man of God with revelation knowledge to feed and equip us in fulfilling our Master's Plan? I pray that every man that reads and applies the principles in this book; will experience God in a way that you have not yet encountered in your walk with our Heavenly Father. Bishop Donald R.
