Man Of God

Man Of God by Keith Cook based on 3 John

Rise up men of God. God is looking for you to be a champion for Him in our day and time. In order to be a "Man of God" you must look into His Word and heed His advice. Listed below are seven things God wants you to know about being a "Man of God."

1. You are Loved by God and by those who are spiritual (3 John 1)

God really loves you and wants you to know that you are appreciated by all those who are in the truth. Godly men appreciate other men who are striving to be Godly. The "Godly Man's Club" is always looking for new members.

God has always looked for men to lead His church and lead out in society. When a man feels the love of God and knows he has a purpose in life he will follow God's call to the ends of the earth.

2. You must be Prayed Up (3 John 2)

Pray if you want to be a man of God. Do not neglect your devotional times with God. Pray to God about every area of your life. When you can not pray you are often in need of prayer the most. Repent and go to God immediately. Do not let sin, pride, time, or habits, rob you of your spiritual power.

3. You must be Spoken Well Of (3 John 3)

Walking In Faith produces results and people actually take notice. They know you have been with Jesus. Walk in a way worthy of your call. You are a Christian. This means you are "Christ Like."

4. A man of God Works To Help Others (3 John 5)

You help them Accomplish much. You also join in the Accomplishment. There is a greater Joy that comes into your life when you act faithful in regards to others. Send Out Ministers In A Way Worthy of God. You ought to support those who go out for the sake of the Name.

5. A man of God is Rewarded For Helping Others (3 John 8)

There is joy and a promise of God's favor for those who help others. God will help you as you help others.

6. Don't Work against God's Plan or Man (3 John 9)

Fight hard against that manly nature that wants his way and his opinion to rule the day. Learn how to work with others and not have to have your plan and opinion set the agenda of your church or ministry. Relax and let God direct. If someone in spiritual authority is living in sin go to them and rebuke them in private. Then if they repent you have a brother for life. Do not fight in public or sow discord in private.

7. Imitate Good Not Evil - (3 John 11)

Make sure you have godly mentors in your life. Sports personalities and corporate leaders are not always the best models to learn from. Look to God to help you learn how to be a man. A real man of God is constantly growing and working on his spiritual life. Avoid evil and do good.
