The Man of God Who Warned Eli. 1 Samuel 2:27–36. Before God raised up Samuel, He sent an unnamed prophet to deliver a final warning to Eli. This man of God stands as one of Scripture’s unsung heroes—an anonymous messenger who carried truth to power. He spoke judgment not from anger, but from faithfulness. His courage reminds us that when corruption festers in God’s house, He still raises up voices who will not stay silent.

What the Bible Actually Says About the “Man of God”. The honorific “Man of God” is familiar in church parlance and—even in films—often evokes a saintly figure in clerical garb. Yet contemporary prosperity preachers have weaponised the phrase, using it to validate private jets and lavish lifestyles. Scripture, however, attaches the title to a very different sort of life.
