“Order of the Man”
Genesis 1:27; 2:15-17
Every man has been created by God for purpose. Man’s purpose is to bring glory to God. When man is out of order, he can’t bring glory to God.
Isaiah 43:7 “Everyone who is called by my name, Whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
If you are going to affect change, you have to model being a man of order. Many of the ills today are caused by man being out of order. From the moment Adam disobeyed God, his life was out of order. Adam walked with God before he was disobedient. After Adam was disobedient, he hid from God. His wife hid also. Whatever you are connected to is affected by your disobedience. When you are out of order, you can’t do your assignment. Disobedience brings disorder and dysfunction.
God’s Intended Order for Man
1) Every man has purpose.
Genesis 1:27
2) Man was created to live in the presence of God.
Genesis 2:15-17
Out of God’s presence flows everything you need.
3) Every man has been given an assignment.
Genesis 2:15-17
Where you are is simply not to make money, but it is for your kingdom assignment. Our job is not our source. God is our source.
Matthew 5:16
4) Every man is called to live according to God’s commandments.
Genesis 2:17
Isaiah 1:19
He that obeys God will prosper. Psalms 1
