“Why God Has a Place for Every Man”

Introduction: The Lie Men Carry

Many men secretly believe they’ve failed too much, fallen too far, or missed too many chances.

But Scripture says otherwise:

• “The gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” (Romans 11:29)
  God does not take back what He placed in a man.
• “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
  Purpose existed before mistakes ever did.

Every man is born with intention.
Every man is born with assignment.
Every man is born a king.

God Created Men as Kings

Before sin, shame, or struggle, there was Adam the king — placed in authority and trusted with responsibility.

Scripture confirms this:

• “Let them have dominion…” (Genesis 1:26)
  Dominion is king language.
• “The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden to work it and keep it.” (Genesis 2:15)
  Men were created to cultivate, protect, and steward.

This is the original design.
This is the truth men must return to.

God Empowers Men to Heal

Men are not just called to be strong —
they are called to be healers, restorers, and carriers of God’s authority.

Jesus modeled this:

• “He gave them power and authority… and sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” (Luke 9:1–2)

Healing is kingdom.
Healing is masculine.
Healing is Adam restored.

Jesus Chose Men From Every Walk of Life

This is the heartbeat of THE CHOSEN.

Jesus didn’t pick perfect men.
He picked willing men.

Scripture shows the diversity of His disciples:

• Fishermen (Matthew 4:18–22)
• A tax collector (Matthew 9:9)
• A zealot (Luke 6:15)
• Men with tempers (Mark 3:17)
• Men with doubts (John 20:24–29)

And yet:

They were all chosen.
They were all useful.
They were all forgiven.
They were all transformed.

Their differences didn’t disqualify them.
Their pasts didn’t disqualify them.
Their failures didn’t disqualify them.

Purpose remained.

Purpose Is Not Erased by Failure

Scripture is brutally honest about the disciples’ flaws:

• Peter denied Jesus (Luke 22:61–62)
• Thomas doubted (John 20:27)
• Matthew exploited people (Luke 5:27–32)
• James and John sought status (Mark 10:35–37)

And still:

• “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14)
• “You did not choose Me, but I chose you.” (John 15:16)

If Jesus didn’t give up on them,
He hasn’t given up on any man today.

THE CHOSEN: A Place for Men to Rise Again

This blog becomes the place where men rediscover:

• Identity — “You are God’s workmanship.” (Ephesians 2:10)
• Purpose — “Be strong and courageous.” (Joshua 1:9)
• Value — “You are a royal priesthood.” (1 Peter 2:9)
• Restoration — “I will restore to you the years…” (Joel 2:25)

This is not a blog of shame.
This is a blog of restoration.

This is not a blog of judgment.
This is a blog of identity.

This is not a blog of perfection.
This is a blog of purpose.

This is THE CHOSEN —
a call back to the men God designed, not the men the world distorted.

I am chosen.
“You are chosen by God.” (1 Peter 2:9)

I am empowered.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

I am noble.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)

I am a soldier of the Creator.
“Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 2:3)

My past does not cancel my purpose.
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

God still has a place for me.
“For the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” (Psalm 37:23)
