God needs people who are filled with the Holy Spirit, who are not worried about their own will or future, and who have adopted the character of the Lord Jesus. These people need to think like He thinks, speak like He speaks, behave like He behaves, and feel like He feels. These people must embrace their faith in the Lord Jesus in order to be tools in God’s hands and reveal His character to the world. The Lord Jesus said that many are called but few are chosen. But who is chosen? How are they identified? Why were anointed men of the past different from men today?
In The Profile of a Man of God, Bishop Macedo tries to answer these and many other questions based on what he has seen in the Work of God and, above all, in His Word.

For anyone who wants to know what to look for in a man of God, but more importantly how to be more of a woman of God FIRST… tips in the book are for everyone. No matter gender.

This is an excellent book for men, and for women also to know what to look for in a man of God. He works to fulfill God’s vision for his life, and creates disciples. A very good read!

This book truly opened up my eye to a man of Faith and godly kingdom marriages and about myself.
As it taught me that when the man of God surrenders everything to God whole heartedly and walks in obedience.The example of David who was a man after Gods heart.
God is pleased and from that moment God pours his spirit into him to be used as vessel not just for the work of God.
But in all he does for Jesus as my favourite scripture says it’s not good for man to be alone.
I will make him a suitable helper and God will give him a helper if it’s his hearts desire to be joined with his other rib.
Every woman of faith in Jesus should strive for a man after Gods heart.Not based on the external things he has.
But his personal relationship with Jesus and his character and how he treats others with respect love and care around him.
Growing up I didn’t have examples of men.
My examples was where men would abuse women in my family and women would take on the role of the man.
Especially watching my mum who truly tried to take care of my dad but all she got was abuse and mistreatment.
I took that into my experiences of how I came in contact with men and in relationships. I thought that was normally been disrespected and abused. I truly thought that was true love.
Until Jesus found me brought me to his house and took me on a journey of healing internal and showed me how I should be treated through knowing Jesus through the word and knowing who I am which was challenging at times.
As looking at example in the bible and servants of God at the alter who are already married sharing there testimonies
Giving me hope that God wants me to have the same.
Also finding out what my role is in a godly kingdom marriage and the man’s role also.
As my role is to be a suitable helper and supporter and encourager to him.For him to lead me close to God and looking to him like he is like Christ.
As when I do that I am pleasing Jesus and through the man of Christ doing the things that Christ does for me as I feel safe.
As growing up I never had a father figure until I meet Jesus.To show me how a woman and daughter is meant to be treated honourable and respectful I understand why I experienced a lot of trauma and insecurities.
The women’s role is treat her husband honour and respecting him and supporting him also holding him accountable to when he goes against Gods will. As I expect him to hold me accountable when I’m in the wrong.
Also to submissive to him it’s like I’m serving Jesus to make the man of God happy like I’m doing it onto Jesus.
Denying my selfishness to please Jesus which requires sacrifice.
Also it taught me that when we know our position in Christ he gives us the power and authority to take possession of what belongs to us.As when you don’t know who you are in Christ the person is lost in this dark deceptive world.
I was lost for so many years even in the church. Until I made that decision not to do it in my own way but Gods way which is the only way forward.
I learnt I cannot make the decision for others around but only for myself to do things right especially in my love life as it may take me long to get to my journey.
But I would rather wait on Gods best then do it the worlds way which brings pain and suffering.
As I have been there and it’s false image of making something look good but on the end it’s nothing but destruction the worlds way of love.
