What do you understand by the word " Christianity"?
First thing first, Christianity isn't a religion, it is a relationship, do we all agree with that?"Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch".
That was the first place that the word "Christian" appeared in the Bible, It was their lifestyles that showed people they were Christians.
Being a Christian is more than just going to church, looking haggard, tying scarfs up nd down, wearing long skirts nd the likes. See, your Christianity on the inside will definitely reflect on the Christianity of the outside, you can't fake it, If you are truly a Christian you don't need to point the attention of people to that, the very moment you start telling people you are a Christian before they realise then we need to question your Christianity.
Jesus himself clearly states it in Matthew 5:13-16.
Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
You reap what you sow with your Bible study life and the will of the father is to walk as Christians so we can live long. As Christians you shouldn't be scared or ashamed to talk about Jesus anywhere.
Christianity is a lifestyle and you can't show what you don't know You can't claim to be a Christian without knowing who is behind your belief, You are either a Christian or not, there's no manipulation. After you are saved there is effectiveness in what you have and you can only be effective by acknowledging what you have, the fullness of God comes when you acknowledge all that.
The moment the things of God don't interest you again Please check yourself. When you are spiritually okay your pursuit will change, your Christianity is discernable others will see if you are growing or not. As Christians we should be different from the people of the world, they are permitted to do what we cannot do because they don't know the will of God for their lives.
We should be Christ like in all our dealings. We should love others without discriminating, we are encouraged to live a life as children of light and we should be sure of our calling and our salvation, iron sharpens iron, do not associate with unbelievers.
Being a Christian is a deliberate action, you either choose to allow the word of God dominate you or not. Our lives should always preach of Christ, "actions speak than words" We should live our lives as though Christ is coming tonight, live a life worthy of emulation and pleasing to God, our outward appearance is the result of our inward thoughts.
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
We should always be eager when it comes to sharing your faith. Whenever you are called to do something you should be glad and always ready. Keep studying the word of God, before you know it your life is based on HIS WORD. You just see things so easy because you've given yourself over time to effective Bible study. All this great men of God today, their success is as a result of the sacrifices made long ago, they've given themselves so much to God, Seriously it won't be easy at times but just keep making progress in the WORD.
Let people feel at peace whenever you are with them. Let there be a calm atmosphere, let people feel encouraged with your words.
Do you even know you can win souls with just your lifestyle? That's action, Christianity is a powerful life.
People are seriously watching you, What will they say about you when you are no more, will it be that you are indeed a positive impact or....? Pls always be careful of things you do, you are the manuscript that the world is reading and it's either you guide them well or mislead them There are people counting on you, they need to see you just take a step or hear a word from you and their life is forever changed, Please do not disappoint these souls, We all have a common ministry and it's to win souls for God that's why we are Christians. Don't fail in your assignment, God is counting on you. There is this song we sing in MINE ministry
"I am the one the world is waiting for, to change my world I need a change inside, use me lord to change my world, change me Lord to change my world".
Not until we get our Christianity right this world wont know peace because we are the lights nd we've refused to shine that means the whole world will be in darkness except we are ready to shine our light. This world needs Jesus and they can know that through us "Christians.
God help us but as for me I am ready to take my Jesus to anywhere even at the face of death. #jesustillidie.
Make a decision today to either shine your light or not, it's your choice but remember that your decisions today will tell on your tomorrow.
God bless us all and keep us.. Shalom
Watch out for the Part 2.
Thank you.
