Being a Christian begins with a new birth experience. You are to be born into the family of God. It is a spiritual exercise supported by physical activities. You are to replace the spirit that longs for sins with another Spirit of God that hates sins. You are to move from the spiritual region where you enjoy sins as a pleasure to a region that cannot tolerate it, the Holy Spirit is available to help you.

If you are truly born again of the spirit and water, there is a need for you to grow into adulthood with responsibilities and duties. If you do not mature as expected, you will lack the stamina to perform your assignments. Your life should be of value to you and others. Otherwise, you will be grouped with those who are "deformed children of God".

God is never delighted to have any of His children to be deformed. Who is the parent who will rejoice because his child is dumb? A good parent will do all within His power to restore such to normalcy.

Beloved Pilgrim, are you hail and hearty as a child of God? If yes is your answer, then you are to examine yourself whether you are dumb or not.

How?

The Lord has a duty for you. Your doing it is the only proof that you are not dumb. What is this mandatory work? Like any other disciple or member of God's household, the Lord declares,
"]But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts of the Apostles 1:8.

When last did you witness for Him? He is being accused daily by those who do not know Him and those who know little about Him. Not only that, internal accusers within the household of God exist for many reasons. Do you keep quiet when they accuse the Lord in any form?

If you hold your peace when you have to speak up for Him, then you are a Dumb Christian. Or what name can you give someone who cannot speak? Should you continue to be so? "No!" is the ideal answer. Do not remain a Dumb Christian. Receive your speech back today and receive utterance to speak the right word of witnessing for the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ. Stand up for Jesus and speak up for Him. Then and only then can you be a true disciple who is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord is coming soon, prepare to meet Him.
