THE title, “the man of God,” only occurs twice in the New Testament, but it is of frequent occurrence in the Old Testament. If the following Scriptures are pondered, a few of the many traits which should be seen in the life of a man of God will be discovered, but the principal thought in connection with this title is, a man of God is one who is walking with God, and therefore He can speak to him, and through him to others. A man of God is:-

  1. A man of blessing to cheer (Deut. 33:1).
  2. A man of atonement to direct (2 Chron. 30:16).
  3. A man of messages to speak (Josh. 14:6; 1 Kings 12:22; 13:1, 4-8, 11-12, 14, 21, 26, 29, 31).
  4. A man of chastisement to afflict (1 Sam. 2:27).
  5. A man of piety to witness (1 Sam. 9:6-8, 10).
  6. A man of prayer to influence (1 Kings 17:18, 24).
  7. A man of encouragement to stimulate (1 Kings 20:28).
  8. A man of power to demonstrate (2 Kings 1:9-13).
  9. A man of sympathy to console (2 Kings 4:27).
  10. A man of humbling to humiliate (2 Kings 5:8-14).
  11. A man of warning to guard (2 Kings 6:10).
  12. A man of feeling to commiserate (2 Kings 8:11).
  13. A man of thoroughness to exterminate (2 Kings 13:19).
  14. A man of prophecy to foretell (2 Kings 23:16-17).
  15. A man of order to arrange (2 Chron. 8:14).
  16. A man of restraint to hinder (2 Chron. 11:2).
  17. A man of praise to worship (Neh. 12:24, 36).
