“Created in His Image “

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”—Genesis 1: 27 (NIV84) To be a man of purpose and power, it’s essential to understand the foundations of God’s purposes for both men and women on earth. Mankind was made in the image of God. When God made humanity, He essentially drew man out of Himself so that the essence of man would be just like Him. Since “God is spirit” (John 4: 24), He created man as spirit. Spirit is eternal. Mankind was created as an eternal being because God is eternal. It is important to recognize that we are not yet talking about male and female. It was mankind that God created in His image. Again, man is spirit, and spirits have no gender. The Bible never talks about a male or female spirit. What was the reason God created mankind in His image? He didn’t create any of the animals or plants in His image. He didn’t even make angels in His image. Man is the only being of God’s creation that is like Him. God created mankind for relationship with Himself—to be His family, His offspring, spiritual children of God. It is the nature of God to love and to give. He wanted a being who could be the object of His love and grace. He wanted man to be the recipient of all that He is and all that He has. The fact that mankind was created in God’s image is an awesome revelation about our relationship to Him. God desired children who would be like Himself. Yet He didn’t just desire it and then walk away without doing anything about it. He conceived His desire and made it a reality. In the New Testament, Jesus both affirmed and exemplified God’s love for us. He said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3: 16 NKJV). “He gave.” He gave because He loved. You cannot love without giving. When you love, you give. It’s automatic. Yet in order to give love in a way that is truly fulfilling, the receiver has to be like the giver in nature; otherwise, the love would not be complete. You cannot give in a meaningful way to something that is not like you, because it cannot receive your gift in a way that will satisfy your giving. Giving is only complete when the receiver and the giver are alike. God desired a shared and mutual love, not a one-sided love. *** Thought: When God made man, He essentially drew man out of Himself so that the essence of man would be just like Him. Readings: Genesis 1: 26–28; Acts 17: 24–28”

“Don’t Give Up on a Purposeful Life “

I will repay [“ restore to” NKJV] you for the years the locusts have eaten.”—Joel 2: 25

Are you still questioning what your life is about? I know it’s not easy to take a hard look at yourself, but it’s necessary if you’re going to discover your true purpose in life. You will be busy doing meaningful work when you learn why you are here. Even at twelve years of age, Jesus was busy with His purpose. (See Luke 2: 41–49.) Isn’t that an exciting way to live? Don’t give up on having a purposeful life, no matter what your age. Get busy with the right thing. I don’t have a “job” anymore, but I used to. I worked for the Bahamas government for twelve years. I taught junior high school for five years. I worked in a food store before that, packing shelves. I worked in a warehouse, lifting boxes. I worked in an ad firm, doing advertisements, drawings, and so forth. These were learning experiences. Then I found my true work of helping others understand how to manifest their God-given leadership potential. I don’t wake up in the morning and “go” to work. I wake up and become what God created me to be. Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5: 16 KJV). When other people see your work, when they see you manifesting what God put into you, they will glorify God. You were born to do something so awesome that only God could get the credit for it. God desires that all people find their purpose and fulfill it. I once spoke about purpose at a church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A woman came up to me after the service and said, “I’m fifty-six years old, brother. Where were you fifty-six years ago?” I asked, “What do you mean?” She replied, “You’re the first person ever to come into my life and help me understand that I have a reason for living—and I can’t give an account for fifty-six years right now.” Sometimes, people begin to feel the way that woman did; they’re distressed because they’ve wasted so much time. If this is your situation, don’t be discouraged. One of the wonderful things about God is that He has a way of restoring the years that the locusts have eaten. (See Joel 2: 23–26.) When you go to Him, He knows how to make up for the time that you’ve lost. Yet God would prefer that we follow Him and know our purpose all our lives. That is why the Word of God says very strongly to young people, “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12: 1). God wants you to remember the Manufacturer early so that He can set you on course for your entire life.

We have only one life, and we have to make that life count if we are ever to fulfill our purpose. Remember, a God-given purpose can be accomplished only through His guidance and strength. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3: 20). ***

Thought: You were born to do something so awesome that only God could get the credit for it. Readings: Psalm 27: 7–14; Ephesians 3: 14–21”

The Gold Inside You “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” —Psalm 139:14 In the mid-twentieth century, in Bangkok, Thailand, the government wanted to build a large highway through a village. In the path of the planned road was a Buddhist monastery with a little chapel, so they had to relocate the monastery—including a heavy, eleven-foot clay statue of Buddha—to another place. When the workers transported the statue of Buddha to the new location and began to lower it into place, unexpectedly, the clay on the statue started to crumble and fall off. The people were afraid because this was a precious religious symbol to them, and they didn’t want it to be destroyed. Suddenly, the workers stared in amazement because, as the clay fell away, they saw that the statue was pure gold underneath! Before the statue was moved, people thought it was worth about fifty thousand dollars. Today, that golden Buddha is worth millions and, because of the story behind it, is visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year. This story illustrates that what we can see is not necessarily what really is. I believe that many of us are living as clay vessels when, in reality, we are pure gold inside. This gold is the dreams we have—or once had—for our lives that are not yet reality, the God-given gifts and talents that we have not yet developed, the purpose for our lives that is not yet fulfilled. How do you remove the clay and uncover the gold within you? Your dreams, talents, and desires can be refined in a process of discovering and fulfilling your life’s vision so that the pure gold of your unique and personal gifts to this world can truly shine forth. Father, You have created me with unique and precious gifts, like gold. Help me to discover these gifts and use them to bless the world around me. In Jesus’s name, amen. *** Thought: Many of us are living as clay vessels when we are pure gold inside. Readings: Psalm 139:1–16; 1 Peter 2:9–10

A PRAYER FOR MY FRIENDSHIPS Lord, will You connect me with other men so that we can encourage each other to be stronger kingdom men? Guide me toward those friendships in life that are authentic and based on each of us truly desiring to be the men you have called us to be. Connect me with other men who exercise responsibility under You, live in relationship with You, and seek to interact in community with one another. Develop friendships in which I can communicate freely to others, and they to me. Lord, give me a group of men in my church with whom I can relate on a spiritual level as well as in other ways outside of our church. May we become iron that sharpens iron, growing in You together. Because I know I cannot be a successful as a lone ranger Christian, I want to be a fully engaged saint with other godly men. Draw me into friendships with men of courage, character, commitment, and decency. Father, give me a brotherhood. And make me a contributing member to this brotherhood. In Christ, amen. “Good relationships are not just nice; they are biblically necessary.”

A PRAYER FOR ENJOYING LIFE Lord, You’ve given us permission to enjoy life. Sometimes that’s hard to do. Sometimes I feel that to allow myself personal pleasures doesn’t seem very spiritual. Yet when You created the first man, Adam, You told him to enjoy the garden and that he could freely eat of every tree but one. You said this before You created Eve. Basically, You told Adam to take pleasure in Your provision. In fact, not only did You tell him to do that, but You commanded him to! Lord, help me to be truly okay with having fun. Help me to truly delight in the life You have given to me and for encouraging that enjoyment in my family and at work. Help me to see that You like to take pleasure in what You created. You said that every good and perfect gift comes from above (James 1:17). First Timothy 6:17 says that You have richly supplied us with all things to enjoy. And yet even though You have told us these things, we still fail to link fun and God together. Help me to see that You want to have fun with me, and You want me to have fun with You. Sometimes it feels awkward to pray for more fun, but God, I want to delight in what You’ve given me permission to enjoy, and I want to do so to the max. Because, Lord, You enjoy pleasure. You’ve even asked me to live for Your pleasure. Help me to enjoy what You enjoy so that we can rejoice in it together. In Christ, amen. “If you’re working so hard that you never get time with God or with your loved ones, you’re working too hard. Your work was never meant to replace God in your life.”
