Men have needs. Let’s review how God designed the man, his assignment, and some of the things the man needs.
1.THE MAN NEEDS THE PRESENCE OF GOD
Adam’s life started in the garden with the presence of God. This tells us that the man needs the presence of God in his life. We can’t stress this enough, man cannot fulfill his divine purpose without God.
God created Adam as a king that would work and manage a kingdom. To understand work, you need to understand the first great commission of dominion.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” (Genesis 1:26). The bottom line is this.
There is a full-blown assault on what it means to be a man by radical feminists and transgender homosexuals. Some say masculinity is toxic and offensive and may hurt the feelings of some women, transgenders, and non-binary people. This attack is really against God’s design of man, woman, family, and ultimately society itself.
Some say that manhood is toxic and traditional masculinity harmful to society. Their approach is to delete offensive words that describe the male species such as him, he, male, and men. One writer says that hatred of women is innate and inescapable within men.
Facebook, the world’s largest social media company, disagrees with biology. In the past, when a person signed up for a Facebook account, “male” and “female” were the only options. In 2014, Facebook introduced 50 new gender options for one to select, including intersex, gender nonconforming, non-binary, and androgynous.
In the garden of Eden, God fellowshipped with Adam spirit to spirit. This is an exciting truth because God first created an environment, an atmosphere, for the man to dwell. In this atmosphere, the man could fellowship and communicate with God. As a spirit led man, Adam was assigned the task of tending the garden. This is called work.
The woman was designed by God to supply what the man lacks. The woman was taken out of the man to minister to the needs of the man. This is a hard truth for the modern feminists.
There was a time when the man went off to work, he was the breadwinner, and the woman stayed home nurturing the children. Not so much anymore. It was easier then to define the man and women’s role. It’s not as easy today because the roles are not as clear-cut.
Some women are trying to become men and some men are trying to become women. There are major differences between women and men. Sex, for example, is fundamentally biological and not socially constructed based on soulish attractions and amorous feelings.
