A Bible Passage

17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.

  1. Encourage Me – I want to be a Blessed Man
  2. Enlarge My Coast – I want to be a Bigger Man
  3. Empower Me – I need to be a Bolder Man
  4. Encompass Me – I want to be a Better Man
