God is always looking for a man.
Isaiah 59:16 - And He
saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore His arm brought salvation unto
Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him.
Ezekiel 22:30 -
And I sought for a man among them; that should make up the hedge, and stand in
the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
When He created
the heavens and the earth & then the earth became formless & void
because of the destructive activities of the deposed archangel Lucifer; God
restored it by speaking light and everything else into being, then He created a
man out of Himself, gave him a body of clay and put him in charge of the earth
(Genesis 1 & 2). God was God of all & Adam was god of the earth. Under
God, Adam ruled. Through Adam, God ruled.
Lucifer, taking on
the form of the snake, deceitfully yet legally obtained that heavenly
mandate/authority from Adam by getting him to disobey God and obey him. Man no
longer held direct authority over the earth, because Satan now did; but man’s
authority was still in force, only being used by Satan (legally) until such a
time as that authority would expire.
Since that day,
God has needed a man’s cooperation, a man’s partnership, a man’s prayer, a
man’s authority to operate in the earth realm. When God wanted an ark built to
keep a remnant from the flood, He looked for a man: Noah. The Lamb of God was
slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8); but when God wanted to
institute & preserve a lineage through which the Lamb of God (Jesus) would
be born into the world, He looked for a man (Abraham). At different points in
that lineage, He looked for women like Rebecca, Rahab, Ruth & Mary. In
order to preserve that lineage also, He looked for men like Joseph, Moses, Joshua,
Samson, David & Elijah.
In Ezekiel 22, the
sin of the nation of Israel was multiplied and God’s just nature required harsh
judgment, yet His mercy sought for a man to intercede for the land as Abraham
did for Sodom & Gomorrah (JUST ONE MAN). However, God found NO MAN, so He
had no choice but to pour out judgment on the land, even though it was NOT His
perfect will. How many things happen on earth & in our lives despite the
fact that they are not God’s perfect will?
When it came to
redeeming the world (Isaiah 59:16), God found NO MAN once again; but this time,
God did something special: GOD BECAME THE MAN HE NEEDED! John 1 makes it clear
that God the Word is the same One that became flesh and dwelt among us and ultimately
died & rose for us and forever lives for us! God is ALWAYS looking for a
man. God became a man once, He’s never going to do it again. NOW GOD LIVES IN
MAN. The only challenge is that the will of man is not automatically
redeemed/saved when he receives Jesus Christ. He has to begin the process by
yielding his will to the Word & the Spirit of God. However, when God finds
a man whose will is given over to Him, God has everything He needs!
God can pray to
God through that man so that God can do what is God’s will to do in the earth
realm (praying in the Spirit).
God can reach out
through that man to other men to do them good.
God can channel material
resources through that man for the purpose of advancing His kingdom.
God can channel
divine thoughts, ideas, concepts & innovations through that man into the
worlds (the worlds of fashion, music, entertainment, industry, economics,
medicine, education, arts, government etc.)
God can meet people’s
needs through that man.
God can execute
His will through that man.
God can manifest
His power & presence in the earth through that man.
YOU ARE THAT MAN.
You are God’s man
where you are; yes, right there!
You are God’s man
in business, government, fashion, entertainment, medicine, ministry, your
school, your nation, your family.
You are God’s man,
woman, boy & girl.
If you have
received Jesus & you’ve received the Holy Spirit, you are the perfect
candidate to execute the will of God the Father in this world. You are God’s
man.
Being a “man of
God” is good, but whether you’re a “man of God” or not, YOU ARE GOD’S MAN; I AM
GOD’S MAN!
All God wants is
your will. He wants your will, He wants your body. He wants your unreserved
“YES”. He wants your attention. He wants YOU.
Will you give God
what He wants, what He needs?
You can only be
better for doing so. All your ambitions, aspirations, dreams & plans are
nothing compared to what He wants to do THROUGH YOU on a day-to-day basis and
in your entire lifetime; the temporal and eternal rewards FOR YOU.
1 Corinthians 2:9 -
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into
the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him”
