"Discover how the BBI Men’s Ministry is equipping men for spiritual growth, leadership, purity, and purpose despite attendance challenges."

A Journey of Spiritual Growth and Accountability

FROM March through September 2025, the BBI Men’s Ministry, under the leadership of Pastor Roy Agoya, has walked alongside men pursuing spiritual growth, accountability, healing, and purpose.

While consistent attendance remains a challenge—with meetings averaging 16–20 men and occasionally dipping to 12–15—the ministry continues to serve as a vital platform where men confront life’s struggles and embrace God’s calling.

These fluctuations invite reflection:

Are they spiritual resistance attempting to disrupt fellowship?
Or the natural tendency of men to remain silent, even when help is needed?

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17

At BBI, fellowship is not optional—it is transformational.

Key Themes Explored in BBI Men’s Ministry

Over the past several months, powerful and transformative topics have strengthened men in every area of life:

1️⃣ Breaking Inner Vows

Many men carry silent agreements, self-imposed restrictions, or inner vows that limit spiritual progress.

Jesus teaches:

“Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’” – Matthew 5:34–37

Led by Pastor Roy Agoya, this session challenged men to:

Identify hidden vows
Renounce ungodly commitments
Release spiritual hindrances
Fully embrace God’s plan

Freedom begins with alignment.

2️⃣ Men in Leadership: Faithful in All Things

Leadership is not position—it is responsibility.

BBI Chairman Rev. Dan ole Shani facilitated this session, grounding it in:

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13–14

Men were reminded that:

Leadership starts at home
Integrity builds lasting impact
Courage must be rooted in love
Faithfulness sustains influence

True leadership is consistent character.

3️⃣ Learning from Saul: The Man Who Had It All

Brother Melvin Amulyoto led an interactive study from 1 Samuel 15.

Saul’s life serves as a warning:

“For rebellion is as the sin of divination…” – 1 Samuel 15:23

Despite early promise, Saul’s pride and partial obedience led to his downfall.

Men learned:

Obedience sustains favor
Humility preserves calling
Personal ambition must submit to God’s will

4️⃣ Sexual Purity in a Weaponized Culture

In today’s world, sexual temptation is aggressively normalized.

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification…” – 1 Thessalonians 4:3–4

Pastor Roy Agoya led a powerful session equipping men to:

Recognize manipulation and enticement
Practice self-control
Build accountability
Walk in honor

Fellowship, prayer, and transparency were emphasized as tools for victory.

5️⃣ Healing Father Wounds

Guest speaker Pastor David Odhuno, former BBI Men’s leader, addressed the deep impact of father wounds.

“He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children…” – Malachi 4:6

Many men carry emotional scars from:

Absent fathers
Broken homes
Difficult paternal relationships

Through prayer and guided reflection, men confronted generational pain and began restoration.

Healing fathers raise healed sons.

6️⃣ The Consistent Man

Pastor Charles Kiragu, Convener of ACTS Movement, emphasized spiritual consistency.

“Be steadfast, immovable…” – 1 Corinthians 15:58

Consistency:

Builds character
Establishes trust
Produces fruitfulness (Genesis 1:28)
Sustains leadership impact

Spiritual maturity is measured in faithfulness over time.

7️⃣ Lessons from Adullam: Raising Mighty Men

From 1 Samuel 22:1–2, Pastor Roy Agoya taught on the Cave of Adullam—where distressed, indebted, and discontented men became mighty warriors under David.

Adullam represents:

Broken beginnings
Community transformation
Leadership development
God’s redemptive process

BBI Men’s Ministry provides that same environment today—transforming broken men into vessels ready for the Master’s use.

The Challenge: Consistent Attendance

The ministry acknowledges attendance challenges but remains focused on transformation over numbers.

Pastor Roy Agoya reflects:

“True growth happens when men show up, open up, and allow God’s Word and fellowship to shape their lives. Men are being transformed—one man at a time.”

Hebrews 10:24–25 reminds us:

“Do not neglect meeting together… but encourage one another.”

Fellowship fuels endurance.

The Vision Moving Forward

The BBI Men’s Ministry remains committed to:

Spiritual accountability
Openness and vulnerability
Healing and restoration
Leadership development
Sexual purity
Consistency in faith

Men are being called to:

Rise in purpose
Walk in integrity
Heal from past wounds
Lead with courage
Embrace God’s plan

Like David’s mighty men, God is raising men of loyalty, strength, and conviction.

Final Word: A Call to Rise

Despite attendance fluctuations, BBI Men’s Ministry continues to stand as a beacon of spiritual growth and purpose building.

Men are being sharpened. Men are being healed. Men are being equipped.

The call remains clear:

Rise. Remain consistent. Lead with integrity.Walk in victory.

God is building men of purpose.

Common Questions

Being born again secures your salvation—your sins are forgiven, and you belong to Christ. You don’t need deliverance to be saved.

However, even as a believer, you can still struggle with patterns, strongholds, or spiritual oppression from the past. Deliverance isn’t about salvation; it’s about applying Jesus’ freedom to those areas. If you experience ongoing struggles, prayer, renunciation, and pastoral support can help you walk fully in the liberty Christ has already won for you.
Breaking a generational curse, in a religious sense, is seen as a spiritual journey of repentance, faith, and deliberate action. It begins with acknowledging sin—both one’s own and, in some beliefs, the lingering effects of ancestors’ wrongdoing—and turning away from it through heartfelt repentance and prayer. This recognition is often accompanied by a conscious renunciation of the curse, verbally declaring that one no longer accepts the negative patterns or misfortunes that may have been passed down through the family line.

Faith plays a central role in this process. Believers rely on the power of God to intervene, heal, and restore, trusting that divine authority can break spiritual strongholds that have persisted for generations. Prayer, sometimes accompanied by fasting, Scripture reading, or intercession from spiritual leaders, is used to call on God’s guidance and protection.
When we receive salvation, our spirit is redeemed immediately. Our sins are forgiven, we are justified, and the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 1:13–14). Salvation restores our relationship with God and secures eternal life.

However, the curses or effects of sin in the world—sickness, generational patterns, fear, poverty, or emotional wounds—are not always broken automatically. The reason is that while our spirit is saved, our body, mind, and circumstances still exist in a fallen world under the consequences of sin (Romans 8:20–22).
If you struggle with something but generally overcome it, it is not necessarily a spirit. The Bible shows that even faithful believers wrestle with sin and weakness—Paul himself admitted in Romans 7:15–20 that he struggled to do what was right even as he desired to obey God. A true “spirit” or demonic stronghold is usually characterized by persistent, overpowering opposition that cannot be resisted through prayer, Scripture, and obedience.

If you are able to resist, repent, and grow despite the struggle, it is more likely an area God is using to refine your character and strengthen your faith. Struggles can reveal patterns in our lives that need God’s grace, teaching us dependence on Him, humility, and perseverance. Victory is not about perfection; it is about continuing to walk in obedience, relying on God’s Word, and trusting His Spirit to lead you forward.
Yes, according to Scripture, the human spirit can be influenced, but it’s important to be precise about what that means. The Bible teaches that we are spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). The “spirit man” is the part of us that connects with God, discerns spiritual truths, and communes with Him (John 4:24; Romans 8:16).

A demonic spirit cannot possess the spirit of a born-again believer because the Holy Spirit indwells them (1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 John 4:4). The Spirit of God protects and fills the spirit man, so it cannot be taken over. However, the spirit man can be influenced or oppressed by external spiritual forces if there is neglect, unrepented sin, or agreement with lies, which can affect our thoughts, emotions, and will.

Satan and his spirits can tempt, deceive, and oppress, but they cannot inhabit the spirit of someone truly born again. That’s why Scripture emphasizes guarding your heart and mind, staying in God’s Word, and walking in obedience—this keeps your spirit man aligned with God and resistant to attack (Ephesians 6:10–18; James 4:7).
consequences of sin, wrongdoing, or negative behavior can extend beyond an individual and affect their descendants. In this context, a generational curse is not merely about inherited traits or family patterns in a psychological sense, but rather a spiritual or moral consequence passed down through family lines.

For example, the Bible mentions in several passages, such as Exodus 20:5 and Numbers 14:18, that the sins of the parents can affect their children “to the third and fourth generation.” This is often interpreted to mean that unrepented sin or disobedience to God can create spiritual or circumstantial burdens like poverty, addiction, illness, or relational strife that may continue to manifest in subsequent generations.

Religious teachings often emphasize that generational curses are not inevitable. Through repentance, prayer, faith, and obedience to God, it is believed that individuals can break these curses and restore spiritual blessings to themselves and their descendants. In Christian practice, this might involve confession, seeking deliverance through prayer, or living a life aligned with God’s commandments to end the cycle of negative spiritual influence.
Feeling anger is not automatically a “spirit.” Anger is a natural emotion that God Himself expresses in certain circumstances (Exodus 32:10; Psalm 7:11). What matters is how you handle it. If you feel angry but do not act in sin, controlling your words, thoughts, and actions, this is not a demonic spirit—it is a natural human response being managed in obedience to God.

A spirit of anger in Scripture refers to a persistent, controlling, or destructive force that dominates a person’s behavior (Ephesians 4:26–27 warns against letting anger give the devil a foothold). If your anger arises but you remain calm, forgive, and do not allow it to control you, it is simply an emotion, not a spirit.
When faced with temptation, there are times to run and times to resist, and Scripture gives clear guidance.

You run from sin when it is dangerous, seductive, or beyond your natural ability to resist. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:18, “Flee fornication.” You remove yourself from the source of temptation—whether it’s a place, a person, or an opportunity—because staying there puts your soul at risk. Running is not cowardice; it is obedience and wisdom.

You resist when you are confronted with pressure or attack that you can face through God’s power. James 4:7 says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Resisting means standing firm in faith, speaking Scripture, and relying on the Holy Spirit. This is active confrontation, not passive endurance.
