Men of Power and Purpose: Be Encouraged
by Michelle Brooks
Once our men take their rightful place in obedience to Christ and stop following the enemy’s distractions, they will rise. Families will be strengthened.
Men are created in the image of God. (Proof: Genesis 1:26-29)
That’s not minor—that’s major!
Men are called to be leaders. God created man First and for a Tremendous Purpose!
Men are called to be providers, Spiritual heads of households, role model for all youth while being led by their Creator. When this doesn’t happen; the enemy slips in and has a field day doing what he does best: trying to separate you from Jesus.
I’ll give you a preview of what the devil doesn’t want you to know—Nothing and no one can separate you from the Love of Jesus! (Proof: Romans 8:28-39)
Man was created just a little lower than the angels in Heaven.
(Proof: Hebrews 2:7-8). The world we live in values prestige, land, worldly power and status. God values the heart and is concerned for your soul.
We admire big, beautiful homes. Our jaws drop at the sight of celebrity mansions and estates. Men: you should look in the mirror each day and marvel at what God created. You should see His reflection staring back at you. There is nothing you've done that God cannot forgive. Just Ask Him. Ask Him to examine you daily, to create in you a clean heart, and to renew a right Spirit in you. (Pray Psalm 51:10)
Men: God created you from the dust of the earth, in His image, with His breath. You have the Power of God in you! He also created you with an abundance of strength. No matter your height, weight or nationality, you are stronger in might. You only think you’re weak when you allow your mind to forget your purpose and power. Some men don’t know the reason they exist. Your enemy, Satan, works hard to make sure you never find out. Jesus defeated death over 2,000 years ago. He left us with a Comforter to lead and guide you: His Holy Spirit. You are NOT alone!
You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Proof: Psalm 139:14)
Men: Don’t forget your value to God and His Kingdom, He comes before anyone or anything. God wants you to seek Him first and connect with Him daily.
(Proof: Matthew 6:33)
You are stronger when you know Your Purpose: To worship God; bring Him Glory and make disciples for His Kingdom. (Proof: 1 Corinthians 10:31; Matthew 28:19)
If God watches over, protects, Loves unconditionally, forgives and draws men unto Him; then know your Purpose is to be like Your Heavenly Father.
May God Bless you; keep you Strong and full of Faith so you can be a Powerful example to the next generation!
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
"Everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him." Isaiah 43:7
"19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20
