The time has come when everyone must answer his name without controversies, for Apostle Paul make us to understand that we are the Episode, that is our name, our conversation and even what we do should preach the gospel.
The diqualtitative attitude of the multitude, you brood of vipers, who works to free from the wrath that will before you, Therefore bear fruit that are worthy of repentance and do not presume to say to yourselves, we have Abraham as our Father, God is able to raise up children for Abraham. Even Now the ax is laid to the root of the trees therefore, every tree which does not bear good fruits is cut down and thrown into the fire. You are a child of God my dear, you must know that you are an ambassador here on earth, it is not a final home, earlier we know this better for all of us, who are you representing here now
There is an adage that says that, The birds of the same feathers flooks together you must stand out for who you are, don't compromise, for it will land you in blasfemy or being disobedience to the word of God, Jesus said, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, that means you are an eagle no a vulture, you need to spell your name and defined yourself before men by your ways of life. The word of God says in the Bible book of 2 Corinthians charpter number (6:12-18). And it says Now in return for the same I speak as to children, you also be open. Do not unqually yoked together with an unbelievers , for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion hsa light with darkness And what Accord has Christ with Balial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idles? For you are the temple of the living God, As God has said.: I will deell in them and work among them, I will be their God and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from among them and be separate says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you and you shall be my sons and daughters says the Lord Almighty.
As a child of God you don't follow the crowd, but the crowd is meant to follow you, through out the ministry of Jesus Christ, who is the Author and the finisher of our faith. He did not follow people, but set up a standard for everyone to follow, therefore as a child of God, you should know that Christ dwells in you, for your body is his temple. Your life is the mirror the world is looking at, the news paper the world is reading, the television the entire world is watching, so you must live an examplinary life, that people should emulate and follow, the Bible says that if any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things have past away and now everything have become new. So you must manifest the newness of Christ in you, not the old nature anymore, you are not born again to follow people, you are born again so that people will see the works of you Father in you and glorified his name.
There is this saying, everybody nomaly say, that if you cannot beat them, you join them, this is a worldly saying, it is not for Christians. For the children of God it goes like this, if you cannot beat them you leave them, the word of God says in the Bible book of 1 Corinthians charpter number (6:9-10). And it says that, Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be decieved "Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor homosexuals sodomite nor thieves, nor convetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will not inherit the kingdom of God, so as a child of God, you need not to join them, but you must live a Holy and transparent life, so that people can follow you..
As a child of God, there are places you need not to go, there are things you need not to do, there are words you need not to say and there are some kind of dress you need not to put on your body, so many people have given their life to Christ, but they have not forget about their old ways the world of God says in the Bible book of Luke charpter number (9:61-62). And it says that. And another also said Lord I will follow you, but let me first go and bid them farewell, who are at my house," But Jesus said to him, No Man having put his hand on the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. I always use the word, children of God, why, because so many of us have make the name Christian as a mulkry,any one who Cary the Bible proclaim to be Christian's, without knowing the full meaning, and all it takes. A Christian is not a sinner and a sinner is not a Christian. You must know this, no two ways abaut it.
Today the guestion has come, Is your name everybody, in that office where you are working, can men say on your behalf, that you are a child of God, even the most of the congregation, can the brethren say you are a child of God, look at what the Bible says in the Bible book of 2 Timothy chapter number (2:19-20), and it says that. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal that God know those who are his own, therefore as many that nameth the name of Jesus Christ should depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of silver and gold, but there are also vessels of clay and of wood some are unto honour and some are unto dishonour. Therefore we must clean our selves from every work that we defile us .
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Who once were not a people, but are now the people of God, who have not obtain mercy, but now have obtained mercy. For that you must live a separate and examplinary life that can transform lives, into the kingdom of God, for Christianity is a Chistlike life. Child of God, you cannot live your life like everybody does. You are created in his image and likeness and his Spirit is in you. Thank you, God bless you for reading this my aticle, remember, JESUS love's you so do I shalom.
