ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF WORLDLY LOVE, SEX AND MONEY AS RELATES MAINLY WITH THE MALE MAN

ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF WORLDLY LOVE, SEX AND MONEY AS RELATES MAINLY WITH THE MALE MAN

Most people live life by replicating the pattern, style and cultures of the people around them. There is always a constant yearning for a sense of belonging among individuals, particularly, among the teenage age range. Unfortunately, the systems available in terms of the media, schools, religious bodies and other organisations have not been able to project the ideal model to the world.  It's not surprising to see the whole world plunged into disarray, chaos and confusion due to identity crisis and decreased moral standards. However,  for every lock — no matter how complicated it might look, there is the right key; to every maze the right pattern. 

The successful application of the right pattern to tackle our societal challenges, is paramount to the restoration of tranquility. To get this right pattern, we need the right partnership. 

No other personality fits this description as the Creator — the one who made you and the world you live in. Once you understand this, you will realise that the right pattern is the kingdom pattern.

There is a worldly pattern, the one that has caused so much chaos and disarray in the world today. The basic difference between those following the kingdom pattern or otherwise is in the state of the mind.

 Romans 12: 2 tells us that we should "...not conform to the trends, ideologies and style of the worldly pattern, but we should be transformed by the renewing of our mind."

Patterns are styles, structure or order in which things are done. Genesis 1:27, Mark10:6  and several other scriptures have an order and a common sequence  that is, "Male and female created he them". This is Kingdom order as seen in tens of passages in the scripture, the male man has been given the mandate to apply the right pattern to bring about order in the society and indeed they're copious examples of men who have made great impact. It is therefore correct to say when men lead, the world follows.

There is a relationship between love, sex and money. some men think sex is love while some think money is a ticket for sex. Another category see giving of money as the only form of love they are capable of expressing. Most fathers of today have nothing else to offer apart from money and material things. 

The craving for these three driving forces — love, sex, and money — are the major factors that drive the feelings and desires that largely controls the action and preferences of a large percentage of  men. These three emotions are the main things that are controlling the male man today. For the average man, the mindset about love, sex and money is largely polluted. Proper approach to viewing this, is key to bringing order through the kingdom pattern.
