For years the words “Safe Space” have been thrown around frivolously. I get it it is an excellent catchphrase that can be utilized to invite people to follow your cause, however, I want you to know that Morning Meditation for Men is just that, A SAFE PLACE Why, you ask? Because MM4M is a place for men from every walk of life to come and receive a relevant revelation of God’s word. One of the most exhilarating characteristics about Jesus is that he never excluded anyone, period full stop. So let me repeat this, Morning Meditation For Men is a safe place for brothers to come together and grow. There is no judgment here, we are all on a journey, heck, I am on a journey of discovery, the discovery of the magnanimous grace of our God! A grace that would send a son to a place of shame to hang and die for a people that did not desire or deserve the gift. God through Jesus has relentlessly pursued me daily with an undeserved love, and I run to him with my tears, my joys, my confusion, and love and he embraces me just as I am. Just like he embraces me, he will do the same for you. So with that, I say: GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING WELCOME TO MORNING MEDITATION FOR MEN! LET’S GET INTO THIS WORD!
Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the Lord [and worships Him with obedience], Who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands, You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you.

3 Your wife shall be contented in your home. And look at all those children! There they sit around the dinner table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees.

1The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],I shall not want. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.3 He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.4 Even though I walk through the [sunless] [a]valley of the shadow of death,I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with [b]oil; My cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.

Morning Meditation for men: s4-EP24. “It’s in you” Host S Geoffrey Monts
IT’S IN YOU!
Season 4
Ep: 24
Praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who’s blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens.Ephesian 1:3
In Christ Jesus we have everything we need to be what he has called us to be! Never think that you are not adequate, that you have been poorly equipped for the journey! You have it in you.
Peace
Prosperity
Love
Forgiveness
A position in His Kingdom
An eternal inheritance
Healing
Spiritual power
Grace…
We often do not understand what we have because we are bogged down with the cares, concerns and culture of this present age. It is challenging to navigate the world as we know it. Here is my suggestion when you are bogged down and your life has little to no movement, pray this.
Ephesians 1:18-19 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might
Listen the job, the assignment, the the mission, the charge that God has placed on your life you have not been sent out without what you need to be successful. God has empowered you to accomplish His will and His purpose.
As men we can sometimes have an authority issue, when we question ourselves about the level of authority that God has placed in us. Questions like, and I adequate; did God really call me; can I lead this family; can I write this book; what about my past God; what will people say? I have often said I will NEVER go into politics because when they started digging up my past, it would be M-E-S-S-Y! And I am not ready to have that part of my life exposed to the world. However, if God told me to do the work, I know that he would equip me and shield my past so I would be able to do the work with integrity.
Remember, you have what you need in you to be successful in this life. Now Go and walk in your God given authority as a man of God. Walk with your head up and your chest out and lead with God love. You have got this!
Prayer Prompts:
Faith & Courage to live has God has instructed.
Open my eyes so I can be enlightened.
Help me see the hope of your calling in my family, the culture and the world
Show the the riches of his glory.

23 “Three times a year all your men must come into the presence of the Master, the Lord God of Israel. 24 I will force nations out of your way and will expand ⌞your country’s⌟ borders. No one will want to take away your land while you’re gone three times a year to the Lord’s festivals.
No matter how overwhelmed you may feel like because you are a man who is doing your best to live your life as you hear telling you to remember that God has your back.
He will remove all of your enemies out of your way.
He will expand your territory
1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called out to the Lord God of Israel, Oh that you would greatly bless me and an extend my border, and that Your hand might be with and that You would keep from harm so that it would not hurt me!” And God, the Lord God brought about all that he (Jabez) requested.
No one will take what I have given you
If we remain righteous (in right standing with God) He will not allow what He has given to us, and or what we have obtain through righteous means to be taken from us.
Prayer Prompts:
Help me not be be afraid.
Help me to trust you more.
Thank you for your protection.
Thank you for your deliverance
Thank you for your abundance.

Good Morning and welcome the the Rise & Grind Crew! Often our culture and society teaches us to get all that we can and can all that we get. It teaches principals of hoarding and stinginess. Today’s podcast is simply about sharing in all that you have. Giving and believing the scripture that The Lord God will give back to you everything that you have given out, plus more. Check out Luke 6:38 that reminds us that when we give, it will be given back to us. Brothers make sure you find time to mentor the younger generation. We have a responsibility to share in everything no just monetarily. Peace!

Morning Meditation For Men with Pastor S Geoffrey Monts, available Tuesday & Thursday.
EZEKIEL 22
1-5 God’s Message came to me: “Son of man, are you going to judge this bloody city or not? Come now, are you going to judge her? Do it! Face her with all her outrageous obscenities. Tell her, ‘This is what God, the Master, says: You’re a city murderous at the core, just asking for punishment. You’re a city obsessed with no-god idols, making yourself filthy. In all your killing, you’ve piled up guilt. In all your idol-making, you’ve become filthy. You’ve forced a premature end to your existence. I’ll put you on exhibit as the scarecrow of the nations, the world’s worst joke. From far and near they’ll deride you as infamous in filth, notorious for chaos.
6-12 “‘Your leaders, the princes of Israel among you, compete in crime. You’re a community that’s insolent to parents, abusive to outsiders, oppressive against orphans and widows. You treat my holy things with contempt and desecrate my Sabbaths. You have people spreading lies and spilling blood, flocking to the hills to the sex shrines and fornicating unrestrained. Incest is common. Men force themselves on women regardless of whether they’re ready or willing. Sex is now anarchy. Anyone is fair game: neighbor, daughter-in-law, sister. Murder is for hire, usury is rampant, extortion is commonplace.
“‘And you’ve forgotten me. Decree of God, the Master.
13-14 “‘Now look! I’ve clapped my hands, calling everyone’s attention to your rapacious greed and your bloody brutalities. Can you stick with it? Will you be able to keep at this once I start dealing with you?
14-16 “‘I, God, have spoken. I’ll put an end to this. I’ll throw you to the four winds. I’ll scatter you all over the world. I’ll put a full stop to your filthy living. You will be defiled, spattered with your own mud in the eyes of the nations. And you’ll recognize that I am God.’”
17-22 God’s Message came to me: “Son of man, the people of Israel are slag to me, the useless byproduct of refined copper, tin, iron, and lead left at the smelter—a worthless slag heap. So tell them, ‘God, the Master, has spoken: Because you’ve all become worthless slag, you’re on notice: I’ll assemble you in Jerusalem. As men gather silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into a furnace and blow fire on it to melt it down, so in my wrath I’ll gather you and melt you down. I’ll blow on you with the fire of my wrath to melt you down in the furnace. As silver is melted down, you’ll be melted down. That should get through to you. Then you’ll recognize that I, God, have let my wrath loose on you.’”
23-25 God’s Message came to me: “Son of man, tell her, ‘You’re a land that during the time I was angry with you got no rain, not so much as a spring shower. The leaders among you became desperate, like roaring, ravaging lions killing indiscriminately. They grabbed and looted, leaving widows in their wake.
26-29 “‘Your priests violated my law and desecrated my holy things. They can’t tell the difference between sacred and secular. They tell people there’s no difference between right and wrong. They’re contemptuous of my holy Sabbaths, profaning me by trying to pull me down to their level. Your politicians are like wolves prowling and killing and rapaciously taking whatever they want. Your preachers cover up for the politicians by pretending to have received visions and special revelations. They say, “This is what God, the Master, says . . .” when God hasn’t said so much as one word. Extortion is rife, robbery is epidemic, the poor and needy are abused, outsiders are kicked around at will, with no access to justice.’
30-31 “I looked for someone to stand up for me against all this, to repair the defenses of the city, to take a stand for me and stand in the gap to protect this land so I wouldn’t have to destroy it. I couldn’t find anyone. Not one. So I’ll empty out my wrath on them, burn them to a crisp with my hot anger, serve them with the consequences of all they’ve done. Decree of God, the Master.”
Some brief facts:
70% of Male prisoner come from fatherless homes.
71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.
63% of teen suicides come from fatherless homes.
In the USA taxpayers spend more than 8 Billion dollars annually on high school drop outs for public assistance.
Teen pregnancies cost the American tax payers an average of 10 billion dollars annually.
ARE YOU IN PLACE?
God is seeking for men to stand up for him! (STAND IN THE CITY)
God is seeking men to repair what is broken down and not operating properly! (SURE UP THE CITY)
God is seeking men to Stand in the Gap for him. (SECURE THE CITY)
When you are in place and standing for righteousness God will not destroy the city. It was only because he could not find anyone who would stand up that the decision was mad to destroy.
It reminds me of the story of Noah in Genesis 5. God could not find any righteous people save Noah and his family and the world was destroyed by water. Here is the Grace in the story of Noah and in our present situation. God say “I will never flood the world again.”
When we can Grace will stand in the city, Grace with sure up the city, and Grace will secure the city! That is an awesome thing.
Brothers we have a job to do! Get in place and restore our families and our future.
