Making of a Manifesto
The word “manifesto” comes from the Greek root manifestum, referring to a statement that is clear, evident and is a bold proclamation of one’s values, motives, and intentions. Most importantly, a manifesto is a call to rebellion, a call to run with the resistance, for the man of God it is his declaration that he is resisting the ways of the world.
Not only does the world want to emasculate a man of his role, it also offers another confusing portrayal of a man, the “manly man” that drives a big truck, chases woman, drinks lots of beer, swears, spits & gets in fights. But, that's NOT a true man!
God is raising up a different breed of man who will stand firm and rage against the darkness and is standing up for what is good and right, one who follows after Christ with an unashamed passion and tenacity.
If you desire to be such a man perhaps your manifesto would echo similar sentiments to the one below:
I boldly and emphatically declare that I will not bend my knee nor will I bow my heart to the ways of this world. I will stand firm to resist greed, envy, pride, self-promotion, and lust. I will rise up and walk with integrity and Christ-like character and conduct, I will be the conqueror He has called me to be and take light and hope into this dark world. My mission and mandate is to know God and to make Him known. I will demonstrate Christ-like courage, kindness, and love everywhere I go.
Take some time today and start writing out your own manifesto then post it up somewhere and proudly proclaim where you stand and with Who you stand.
How does the world portray a manly man to be and how is he supposed to act according to them?
What are some of the character markings of a true man of God?
