Christian Living
Today someone asked me a question that really made me reflect on my Christian life.
A stranger i met online asked me if i really believed that Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
Well, the issue is that this question made me reflect and assess myself. Yes we have given our lives to Christ. That is where we put the full stop. We don't put any wood in the fire. We fail to notice that the fire is dying down until it does die down completely. Then, we are all over the place looking for a quick-fix solution. I think that illustration up there is me. I don't know about you but that is what has been happening to me lately. i am fascinated by many other things but the Word. the fire seems to be dying down. I came to this realization just recently and i have been asking myself a few questions.
Have you ever wondered why we are sometimes unwilling to let people know who Jesus is? Not that we intentionally become unwilling. It's just that the spirit within you is willing but the flesh is unwilling. We have been made to believe that you may look like you think you know it all when you tell someone about Jesus. Again, we have forced ourselves to believe the lie that we are not yet adequate so we can not share the little that we know about our Saviour. I must say it is sometimes hard for me to talk about Jesus when i come across people who are deep into the things of the world and are convinced that that was the life for them. The truth is that there is no human being in this world of ours who is perfect. Even our pastors are still learning the ways of God so there is nothing like the right time to speak the word. I am not calling everyone to mount the pulpit. I am only saying that we ought to let our light shine before men so that our father in heaven may be glorified. Check what you think, what you say and what you do. Ask God to help you to live right so that you become an example unto others. Share the Gospel with the people in the most unlikely places. Infact, take church to people as often as you can.
Recently, i started feeling like a bird who had been in the nest too long and had become fat. I had absorbed so much of the gospel through church and all that but i haven't attempted to let others have some of this good stuff that i know. It is true that when we share what we know, we gain more than we had.
So, if you have also remained in the nest too long, here is your call to jump out and come soar. You could loose some weight too. There is blessing in letting people know the goodness of our God. Other people who are into all sorts of dangerous religious practices are more than willing to recruit for their cause but we who have been called to proclaim the Good News are only sitting in our nests all over the world and allowing a few others to do this great work. Lets rise up as Christians and spread the gospel. There is a crown waiting for all who bring more into the Kingdom of God.
Today let us pray for everyone who is in the world winning souls for Christ. They are indeed working the field of souls. Let us also pray for for ourselves that we will be strengthened by God through the Holy Spirit to perform this very important task
Don't sit in your church, in that prayer group, Bible meeting all your life without sharing Jesus with someone outside those circles. You may be getting fat!Get out there and burn some calories!
Work the field of Souls! He is indeed Free to share! You need no approval to tell people about Christ. You were approved as worthy the day you gave your life to him.
