How to Become a Man of Purpose

Everything God created including mankind He created it for a specific purpose.

Purpose according to “merriam-webster means;

a

something set up as an object or end to be attained INTENTION

b

RESOLUTIONDETERMINATION

Apart from God, life has no meaning and no purpose. Teach men that God has a purpose for their lives. Teach your men that God has eternal and earthly purposes. Teach your men that all men are alike in certain respects and, as such, God prescribes four universal earthly purposes for all men. Teach your men that God also has a personal earthly purpose for each man. That purpose is the unique way in which God blends the four universals together in time, place, relationships, work, and so forth. It looks like this:

I. Eternal Purpose
   God’s eternal purpose for us is eternal life.

II. Earthly Purpose
    God’s earthly purpose for us is to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Each man is unique, and God gives each a different personal life purpose (Philippians 2:13; Acts 17:26; Ephesians 2:10; 1 Peter 4:10-11). Like a fingerprint, one’s life purpose is a one-of-a-kind set of marching orders that combines the four universal purposes to which God calls all men. That unique combination draws from a man’s spiritual gifts, natural abilities, acquired competencies, assigned times and places, roles, deeds, service, love, and the Spirit–all of which issue from Jesus Christ.

CONNECT WITH GOD

Men of Purpose is a ministry that exists to help men grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ

CONNECT WITH OTHERS

Become the true leaders God intended them to be within their families, churches, jobs, and communities

What God says…. about the Family Institution

Trinidad and Tobago’s family structure is under tremendous pressure. April 12th is judgment day on whether the buggery law would stay or be repealed.

Who has the final say about  the family? God does!

The Church of Trinidad and Tobago must now look at what God allows. When God allows something to happen its either for blessing or for judgment.

God allows things t be shaken to reveal His unshakable Kingdom. Hebrews 12:25 -29;  “25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.”

The Church of Trinidad and Tobago is in a divided and backslidden state. How can we the Church, the Bride of Jesus Christ expect the nation to be peaceful when we are in open fights with each other.

The role of the Church is to represent the Kingdom of God to our families, community, city, our nation and the world. To be salt and light.

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify our  Father in heaven -Mattew 5:13-16.

The World’s Agenda 

The world’s agenda that is being pushed by television, social media, movies, music etc is a homosexual agenda that is not based on truth. The reason alot of church goers are confused is because they have bought into what the media is saying and not what the Lord God said.

When you bind a man and a woman in stable relationships their family is better and society is better. In the history of the world there has never been a successful “gay nation”.

The society today is confusing the phrase love, because there argument is “if God loves us why should anybody tell them same sex family is wrong?”

When you love a person biblically you do what’s best for that person. I love you but I have to agree with what God has to say about love.

It’s very disheartening to see comments that the Church is homophobic because the Church agrees with what God has to say about marriage.

God created marriage very early in the history of mankind. Marriage is between one man and one female, and who are we to attempt to redefine that. When the family is in chaos the nation is in chaos. God created the family not just for marriage but also for procreation.

Whether you thinks its right and I think its wrong is irrelevant. God has already clearly defined the institution of family.

The institution of family is under attack. And there are alot of church goers that says they are just going to love people and not hurt their feelings,  out of the fear of being called a bigot or homophobic.

We should minister in love but not endorsing what they are doing. Remember its not love that sets people free it truth!
