SAINT RESOURCE PUBLICATIONPUBLISHING GOD’S WISDOM AND PROCLAIMING HIS KINGDOM
[email protected]




And the disciples were first called Christian in Antioch. ACT. 11:26C
· What did men saw in them before they called them CHRISTIAN? Can the same be seen in you?
· In the book of act of apostle, 4:13 the rulers of the people and the elders that gathered together realised that these disciples had been with JESUS! What was the indication?
· Today every A, B…Z is a born again Christian. Though many glory in church’s activities, years of commitment to a Christian movement, years of baptism, religious background and many others; yet it is very difficult for men to see Jesus in them. It was very obvious then, without any forceful and descriptive bills or postal to make Christ visible in men. But today, the louder the song the fainter the image of Christ in many lives!

How loud and zealously you sing about God, does not really make Him visible within your life. You may intelligently weave your augment and smartly present the mastery of your faith, you may be applauded for such profession, confession and proclamation, you may succeed in bringing men into your Holy Hypocrisy, but be sure, if Christ is not occupying any place in your heart, men will soon discover your fake life. You may have almost all positions in your gathering and you are as important as “indispensable” but the question is “Who is God in Your Life”?

Some lives advertise Devil than the God they profess to know. Some preach wickedness even though they talk much about kindness, peace and love. Some are bundles of foolishness though they have all scriptural text about wisdom. What types of message does your life preaches.
Are you God’s testimony or His sorrow? A source of peace or confusion! Peacemaker or strife breaker! Seed of truth or catalogue of deception! If all your life can point to is hypocrisy you are not a Christian you profess, rather an unbeliever! A Christian is more than mere title and moral propelled experience. Get this right here!

If you have to live in places where there is no Bible or any Christian, can men read Christ and his love for the whole World in your life and dealings! Is your life a lyric of frustration or you are a composition of comfort! The boldly written and beautifully designed stickers you paste on your doors, brief case and car’s screen how do your life reflect this in your relationship with God and men! The Bible says you ought to be light in the world how are you fulfilling this ministry on the world or you are a thick darkness that has misled many souls!

“Believe it or not I am born again” this cannot be proved by force, your life should be the specimen that must be examined for righteousness everyday! The badge you hang on your cloth is mere camouflage if your life is a contrary of the message therein. You dress saintly to church on Sundays, is your heart so neat and wonderful as your dress! You desecrate all days with sins and come to bribe God on Sundays with your hypocritical appearance; the message you preach by your life is HYPOCRISY! How many people have you compelled from the way of the truth by the careless and hypocritical life you live. Are you the keeper of brethren or you are the killer of the saints! How many convert of hell have you made?

IS YOUR LIFE AN HINDRANCE TO God’s work or an open door? Will men be willing to bless others for your sake or will they be sceptical to let a helping hand because of the disappointment you are made up. How rebellious is your activities! How do you use your Gift, talent and abilities? How many people have you used your exalted position to lift up or you use it to oppress? Are men under you praying to God to kill or remove you because of the sorrow and frustration you import into their lives or they pray for you in the secret place of their heart because of the channel of blessing you have been unto them! How many people have you trained! How many people have climbed up through you or while up their, you set fire on the ladder; making useless hope for others!
Will men be willing to Trust Your God or you have No such good testimony to show for the presence of Almighty in Your Life. If you still accommodate any of the sins (Big or Small, black or white), or Bad habits that bring Shame upon God, by this then, certainly you are not qualified to be called “A CHRISTIAN” THE Bible says all unrighteousness is SIN! A songwriter wrote
“If you say you love the saviour
In His love you always live
If you say your sins are forgiven and gone
Then, Prove it by the life you live”
“ For by their fruits we shall know them. II Cor. 5.17 says therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; old things have passed away behold all things have become new.
If men cannot see Christ’s love, mercy and kindness in you, then something is wrong with your Christianity” James 1:27 BECAUSE this Christ went about doing nothing but good. How come must you be called a Christian! If your deeds and work are evil and insincere then you are guilty of the same offence of the Pharisees in the book of Mathew 23:

If others cannot see Jesus in you, then you are not to be called a Christian.
They were called Christian because men saw Jesus clearly in their lives. Men perceived that they had been with Christ. If you’ve got no visible relationship with Jesus how can men see Him in you?
This church activities and Christian name you bear cannot start up a new relationship with Christ. You need such a genuine salvation experience with Him before you can be qualified to bear that precious name of the saints “CHRISTIAN”
You’ve got to confess your Hypocrisy, Sins and forsake everything called evil and lies. Invite the saviour, Christ that makes the difference into your Life then Heaven and earth will recognise you as a “CHRISTIAN” But without him, certainly, you are nothing!
· LET OTHER SEE JESUS IN YOU ARE YOU REALLY A CHRISTIAN
