At AKTIV8 -Kings of the Kingdom Session Pastor Darren shared- “Husbands must understand
that they are designed to lead and that they take instructions from God. It is yielding to the
instructions from God....that you will become Good role models and kings to your wives.” A
controversial phrase used which sparked excitement was “Man where is your husband” after the
roar settled it was explained thus:-“ You must first as a single man understand who you are and
who you were designed to be. If you cannot do that...you won't be able to make the transition
into understanding the role of a husband. So, you will always be wrestling with finding the
husband in you. if you do make that transition you also have to take that lesson that will be
learnt and bring it into fatherhood. All three beings have to co-exist into being a whole man and
a man that God intend and women desire.
