MAN-NERISM - Where Purpose Is not Known Abuse is Inevitable

To Discover Purpose Never Ask The Creation Ask The Creator

If you want to discover your purpose and understand the intentional design behind the male identity, you have to ask God. Reference the bible. The bible is the operational manual God has given us to have some understanding of him and how we are meant to function on this earth.

MAN-NERISM - Where Purpose Is not Known Abuse is Inevitable

Lying, manipulation, and abandonment are all the different ways this abuse can show up in your life. This is just another reason why knowing your purpose is so important. Your home should be a sanctuary and a place of peace. It’s time to let God expose your areas of improvement so you can push yourself to work through what you need to work through. Connect with Him and he’ll show you the right direction to go in.

Not Every Purpose Is Known to Man

Everyone and everything on earth does have a purpose, but it doesn’t mean we as people are fully aware of them. When people turn their backs to God, they cannot know their purpose. According to Dr. Myles Munroe, rejecting God is like buying a really expensive piece of equipment and throwing away the owner’s manual. If you get something to work under those circumstances, it’s only by pure chance. What’s more likely is that it will never fully express it’s potential and it will never fulfill its complete purpose. Are you living in the way you’re supposed to function? Have you maximized your potential? It’s almost impossible to do so if you don’t know your purpose in life. Many of us don’t know God’s way or the way we were originally designed to function. If you want to know everything about yourself, you need to go to Him. You may not know how to be a husband, father, and leader. Even if you have some insight, God can offer you more. It’s powerful to really know who you are, and knowing your complete purpose in life is fulfilling. If men and women continue to abandon their purpose, humanity will never function properly. This is your opportunity to know God’s purpose for you. When you abandon God, you abandon yourself and the commitment to getting to know who you are. When you abandon God, hurt happens, and you pass that hurt down from generation to generation. When you abandon God, you abandon stability because He is your foundation.

God Created Everything With a Purpose

God created everything with a purpose. According to Dr. Myles Munroe’s book “Understanding the Purpose & Power of Man,” this is one of the core principles that needs to be acknowledged by men. In his book, Dr. Munroe emphasizes that God created everything with a purpose in mind, and everything He has made is the way it is because that’s how he intended it. The purpose of a thing determines its nature, design, and features. Everything is made with forethought to purpose and design, including us. People would rather worship created things than the creator himself. People idolize people when they should be emulating the creator. We continue to live in a confused world where we don’t know who we are or what our purpose is. Where do we find that answer? Only with Him. God is the manufacturer, and He thought about your purpose before he created you. As men, we are His product, and only He can know the way we were designed. You may hear opinions from other men on the way we’ve been designed, but they can’t have the answers because they didn’t have a hand in our design. God has given you certain abilities and gifts so you can do what you’ve been called to do on this earth. He wants to give you clarity, but it requires you to go to Him. Ask him who you are as a man and what your purpose is. Ask what you can do for Him.

The 7 Principles of Purpose

On this episode of the MANnerism podcast we’re talking about the seven principles of purpose, along with understanding your purpose according to God’s way. This episode specifically focuses on the first principle, which is this: God is a God of purpose. God created everything for a reason. We, as people, often look to man for purpose, when only God can reveal this to us the work that we’ve been called to do. We live in a world of instability, confusion, and lack of understanding. So where can you find guidance? With Him. He has a purpose for everything he’s ever done. Every step has been intentional, meaningful, and guaranteed to succeed. Humankind is not an experiment. We are not a mistake. We all have a purpose to fulfill. For men, we’re called to function as fathers, leaders, and be the foundation for the family. Even though you may not believe it right now, you were designed by God to succeed. It’s up to you to pursue God and give your life to Him so you can do what you’ve been called to do. Through seeking God, you get understanding and truth. You get direction and vision. As you connect with God, He’ll help you get out from the dark and understand who you are. It may take a few times of getting this message to be able to receive it. Remember this: God gave you a specific meaning on this earth. You have to be willing to put in the work to discover what that meaning is. Thank you to God for His grace and mercy.
