A lot of spiritual leaders dress their best for God but have very little to do with the lifestyle of Jesus Christ ....He personally associated with and ministered to the grass roots of all society - regardless of lifestyle practices.

Don't trust anyone with your eternal destination. Read and STUDY the Word of God for yourself because you will stand before God by yourself.
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The PRIMARY WORK of Christians is to win souls for the kingdom of God.
SECOND HAND INFORMATION is never as effective as receiving it FIRST HAND FOR YOURSELF.
STOP WAITING FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO GIVE YOU A WORD FROM THE LORD AND GO AND GET IT FOR YOURSELF FROM HIS WORD! Here's a great verse to start with: 2nd Timothy 2:15 Stop looking for personality traits that you knew and still expect to see and instead, look for the power of God at work in the lives of His children.
A selfish Christian is one who serves God only when things are going well.
YOUR REACTION
As a Bible Believing Christian, your non-verbal reaction to a person's not so great environment, physical or mental state, can kill any possibilities of you being an effective witness and leading them to a new life in Jesus Christ. Jesus was about His Father's business - who's business are you about?
As a child of God, when you are judging people as to whether or not they are good enough to present the Word of God to others, remember that you too are a sinner saved by grace and are yet in your natural, imperfect and non-glorified body.
If you were hired for a job but all you did at work was talk about what your job entailed and the benefits your job provides but you never actually performed the duties required of your job, do you think you will be obtaining a retirement package from that job?
In the same way, if all you do is talk about your relationship with God and the benefits He provides for you but you don’t actually go out into the field and work for Him…what reward do you expect to receive from Him at the end of time? |
