"Man of God"

I had an interesting thought this morning. I cannot for the life of me remember how my mind wandered to this subject, but it did. I thought about the term "Man of God," and I came to the realization that my definition of this term has changed quite dramitcally in the past three or four years. Coming from a pretty strong Pentecostal background, I can remember hearing this phrase usually in connection with some visiting minister. It usually carried connotations that this visiting minister moved strongly in the gift of prophecy, or another of the gifts. Basically, if this minister had a strong supernatural ministry, then he was a "man of God."
Now, to be fair, this is actually how the term is used in scripture. It was first used to speak of Moses, but was also used in connection with other prophets, such as Samuel (and sometimes even to speak of angels). The idea was that a "man of God," was a man mightily used of God.
However, my intuitive sub-conscious definition has changed. When I hear the words "Man of God," my mind no longer goes to this idea of a person with a strong supernatural ministry (by the way, though I think it is possible to over-emphasize the supernatural, I do not think it is a bad thing to emphasize it - God is a supernatural God, and the Bible is full of examples of God's people being used to perform miraculous deeds. The scriptures also contain promises to us that we may do the same - John 14:10-11, Acts 1:8).
So where does my mind go now when I hear "Man of God"? Integrity. Holiness. Character. Righteousness. These are the markings of a true Man of God (or Woman of God) as far as I am concerned. My strong Pentecostal roots still echo within me saying that the supernatural is important, that we ought to seek God's supernatural gifts, as Paul says in 1Cor. 14:1. But what what is Pentecost without Holiness? Jesus even said that in the Day of Judgment there would be many saying, "Lord, we prophesied in your name! We cast out demons! We performed miracles!" But Jesus will say, "I never knew you." Why? Because, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
God, help us to be a holy people! You said that You were returning for a "spotless Bride." Help us to be spotless. Help us to become people of outstanding integrity so that we might shine all the more brightly for you, that men may "see our good deeds," and glorify You! We know that we are incapable of this on our own, so remind us to fall to our knees daily seeking your aid and your strength to live for You. We love You. Amen.
