He is willing to take the spiritual lead when required to do so. He is not necessarily a minister, but he listens when God calls him to testify, to help those in spiritual need, and to lead people back to Him. He listens to God and he does his part for the church.

The Christian man is willing to step forward when the Lord calls him.

God looked at the world and saw that it was evil, for the people were all living evil lives. God said to Noah, “I have decided to put an end to the whole human race. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds. Build a boat for yourself out of good timber; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out.” Noah did everything that God commanded. Genesis 6:12-14,22

The godly man encourages young people to keep their faith. Read in 1 Timothy 1:1-2, 18-20 how Paul encouraged the young man, Timothy.

Timothy, my child, I entrust to you this command, which is in accordance with the words of prophecy spoken in the past about you. Use those words as weapons in order to fight well, and keep your faith and a clear conscience.

The Christian man takes a stand regarding spiritual matters. The apostle Paul spoke out strongly against the hypocrisy of some believers, who had started to stray away from the truth of the Gospel. Read Galatians 2:11-14.

A believing man equips others with the truth of the Gospel. In Acts 18:24-26 we read that Priscilla and Aquilla took Apollos home with them and explained to him more correctly the way of God.

Just like Joshua of old, the Christian man and his family set a good example of devotion to God. And like Joshua he says, “As for my family and me, we will serve the Lord.” Read Joshua 24:14-15.

Our Christian man follows the Lord to the end. As he neared the end of his life, the apostle Paul was able to write:

As for me, the hour has come for me to be sacrificed; the time is here for me to leave this life. I have done my best in the race, I have run the full distance, and I have kept the faith. And now there is waiting for me the victory prize of being put right with God, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day—and not only to me, but to all those who wait with love for him to appear. 2 Timothy 4:6-8

Can you say: I am he?

Prayer: Lord, today, and for the rest of my days, help me to be sensitive to your voice. Help me to obey when you call me to testify; that I will listen and do my part to make your Word known.  Amen
