When God gave me this, topic this morning; I said, to God I pray Lord that they see You, when they look at me. How are we really acting when we are absence from the church? How is our conversation? Is it Godly? What's our attitudes like when someone rings up the wrong price at the store? How do you act when someone cuts you off, or takes a parking spot they knew you were going to take? How are you at your job? For the husbands or wives that want your spouses saved, what fruit are they seeing in you? These are questions that we should be asking ourselves on a daily bases. Are you building God's kingdom or are you tearing it down? People use to have a lot to say about me when I was a babe in Christ and even when I matured about going from church to church, but the things I witness and the things I went through (in the church) would make anybody want to get up and leave. You never know why God has someone in your life, and what are you depositing into them? I would see (and still do) people in leadership positions be some of the biggest devils. How do saints become two faced, I'll tell you how.....they loose focus on what their purpose is with Christ, and they allow the enemy to talk to them, and then they start listening and before you know it, you have a devil being a leader in the church. I know some don't want me to speak about it, it's a good thing that I live for God and not man; I have been silent for to long, and I am no longer timid or intimidated by the enemy. And my prayer is to someone reading this right now will be able to be strong and stand for Christ.
The Word of God says:
Philippians 2:12-15
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always, obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Do all things without murmuring and disputing.
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
As saints we are suppose to be the light to this world of darkness. And if you are in a leadership position you are even more transparent; make sure that your temple is baring GOOD FRUIT....
Think on these things and you will never have to worry about the world and the saints not seeing the JESUS in you:
Philippians 4:8, 9
Finally, my brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
