To be different is to be distinguished in all qualities and nature from the rest, to be yourself in all good character and even life style. You cannot make difference until you make the different.

Every one need the different in nature, that guarantee different in the future. Christian's are called to be difference from those who are unbelievers, especially in conduct, words and actions, that others are doing it, does not mean you will do it also, the dress style is the latest or that the slogan is the top of the day, does not make it proper, we must in all time follow the standard of God. As you must know, Christianity is not a religion, it is mainly a life style, "JESUS" lived the life that have made a profound difference, any life could have make. But He died for all humanity in other for our individual sins to be forgiven, What of if He has not shown immense love, patience and forgiveness towards us? And follow every pattern of life, what could have made the change, our life would have not received change, we would have no way come out of our lives of sin and Spiritual darkness.

Jesus gave us the difference, He lay down the pattern for us to follow. When you look at the word of God, in the Bible book of the Act of the Apostles chapter number (11:26-27). And it says that, Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he has found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christian's in Antioch. Why? Because every body see them living the kind of life Jesus lived. When you look down to that same Acts of the Apostles chapter number (4: 11-13). It says. This is the stone which was rejected by the builders which has become the chief conerstone. Nor is there salvation in any other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they are uneducated and untrained men they marveled. And they realize that they had been with JESUS. And seeing the man who has been healed standing with them, they could say nothing about it.

What about us ? Are we trying to live a life that we make a difference in the life of others ? This is certainly a Godly goal. Living this kind of life is not just about preaching to others or trying to control them, but is about living godly life as an example to others. Living a life that makes a difference is about; living God's way of life daily, It is asking God every day for help, in being a godly example in all we do or say, We are all shining lights in every dark world. The Bible says that let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. In the Bible book of 1 Peter charpter number (2: 12). And it says, Having your conduct honorable amongs the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evidoers, they may by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE..

KNOW YOUR POPOSE;.. People with great minds have popose, but others have wishes, knowing your popose and dedicating your life to it is the only thing that will bring joy unspeakable. In the Bible book of 1 John chapter number (3:8-9). And it says that, He who sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this popose the son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in Him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

YOU MUST KNOW YOUR PRINCIPLES;.. What lies behind you and what lies ahead of you, is not as important as what lies within you. Wherever there is separation between principles and practice, things always break down, it was the principles of Jesus Christ that helps Him overcomes The Bible says that, when the devil came to tempt Jesus, that is what helped Him to say no, He said man must not live by bread alone. "BUT" it is the but, that is the the type of life He is living before now, cannot be changed by any condition no matter what.

KNOW YOUR POWER;.. The most important thing in life in life is to know that you have power, and another thing is to know the source of the power, that is, gifting and what power the gift, God's Spirit empowers my life, not wife, not church, not career. God has given us a gift to accomplish his popose in us, know this, if you think that your gift is not important and you look at others gifts to be more important, then you miss your power. Every body has a gift, you may be unequal with others, but your gift makes you different. In the Bible book of Acts of the Apostles chapter number (10:38). The Bible says, How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with Holy Spirit and with power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

YOU MUST KNOW YOUR PLAN;.. When you look at the Bible carefully in the book of Luke charpter number (4: 18-21). Which says that. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Then He closed the book and gave it back to the attendance and sat down, And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, Today this scripture is fufilled in your hearing. Have you even know your popose, and how are your plans in fulfilling that it.

God's people must be different because we belong to Him and different in other to make a difference in the world. We need to do something in this world, but first you need to stay connected to Jesus. Though is not easy to make a difference, but the grace of God is always available to help. The Bible says that, the law come through Moses, but grace and truth come through JESUS CHRIST. Thank you so much for reading this my aticle, remain bless.
