A man

You hear all the time.. be a man. Act like a man, now that's a man...but the question is.... what is a man? WHAT MAKES A MAN

 

It has nothing to do with brilliance biceps or bank account

 

Prov. 24:16

Get up 7 times... seven is the perfect number... you wanna be perfect? Keep getting up. God said He could find no fault in Daniel... maybe that's because he kept getting up!

 

It doesn’t matter what knocks you down… a failed business, false accusations, divorce, cancer, death of a loved one, addiction, poverty, loneliness… You get backed up.

 

Not every male is created equal… But every male will get the air knocked out of him, will get thrown to the floor and smell the dust from which he came…. but that’s when the human male gets to choose to be more than a part of the male species and gets the choice to be a man. GET BACK UP. 

 

A man falls but gets back up

It doesn't matter WHAT knocks you down, it doesn’t matter WHO knocks you down, It doesn’t matter WHY you got knocked down and it sure as heck don’ts matter how much it hurt getting knocked down.

 

People may laugh, worse they may offer pity or talk behind your back… “poor fool, doesn’t he know he’s just like everyone else”

Who does he think he is… YOUR THE MAN WHO GETS BACK UP!

 

And we all get knocked down… but if you are going to get knocked down then make it count. Get knocked down doing stuff for Jesus, for eternal things, for things for your family church and spirit. Pray for the sick, help the poor, share the gospel, and if you get knocked down… Count it all joy, a great story and get back up. 

 

I PROMISE YOU THIS…. YOU WILL NOT BE REMEMBERED BY YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OR YOUR FAILURES… YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED BY HOW MANY TIMES YOU GOT BACK UP. 

 

Man may have been created out of the dust of the earth… but it doesn’t mean when you get knocked down you have to stay there. You get knocked to your knees… don’t stay their worshiping the ground… get back up! 

 

A man gets back up, there's no other prerequisite as in Rich smart good looking successful super spiritual…

You don’t have to be smart enough to get up

You don’t have to be rich enough to get back up

You don’t have to be popular, loved, sought out, admired, educated…

All you have to do is get back up and keep going… that’s you! 

 

Take a stand and keep standing

Your the guy who keeps his back erect after every time it’s gets knocked supine

 

Persevere

 

Micah 7:8

Do not gloat over me mine enemy, tho I have fallen I will get back up. Though I sit in darkness the Lord will be my light…

AND YOU KNOW WHAT… HERE IS THE BAD NEWS… WHEN I GET BACK UP… YOU’RE STILL GOING TO BE MY ENEMY!

And now you are facing a man!

 

Does it hurt getting knocked down? Of course it does but you still get back up.

And what hurts more then getting knocked down?

That’s easy… what hurts worse is staying down.
