OUR DISCIPLESHIP JOURNEY REVIEW TO THIS POINT
CHRIST ROYAL AMBASSADORS:
WE ARE TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT OUR DISCIPLESHIP JOURNEY FROM WHERE WE STARTED TO THIS POINT.
HOW WELL HAVE WE DONE?
IN WHAT AREAS DO WE NEED TO IMPROVE?
1 CORINTHIANS, 11:-31 “BUT IF WE JUDGE OURSELVES TRULY, WE WOULD NOT BE JUDGED.”
THEREFORE TO EFFECTIVELY PROPAGATE THE GOSPEL TO ALL CREATURES AS REQUIRED, (MARK, 16:-51-16) WE MUST GET RID OF ALL TRACES OF UNGODLINESS IN OUR LIVES AS CHRIST FOLLOWERS.
CHRISTIANITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN BASED ON ATTITUDE.
OUR INDIVIDUAL ATTITUDE TELLS MUCH ABOUT WHO WE ARE EITHER OF CHRIST OR OTHERWISE.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF OUR AUDIENCE IS MORE OF MORAL BEHAVIOR AND MORE GODLYTHAN WE ARE, THEN WE ARE MOCKING OURSELVES AS DISCIPLES OF CHRIST.
1 PETER, 4:-11 “IF ANY MAN SPEAKS, LET HIM SPEAK AS THE ORACLE OF GOD. IF ANY MAN MINISTERS, LET HIM DO IT AS OF THE ABILITY WHICH GOD GIVES; THAT GOD IN ALL THINGS MAY BE GLORIFIED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE PRAISE AND DOMINION FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN.
BUT EVERY AGENT OF SATAN NOW CLAIM TO BE AN ORACLE OF GOD. NOT SO FAST.
TO BE AN ORACLE OF THE LIVING GOD IS NOT BY MERE WORDS OF MOUTH, BUT THROUGH BEHAVIOR, THE HOLY SPIRIT ABIDES.
IN CLOSING: LET YOUR BEHAVIOR SPEAKS FOR YOU IN THE MIDST OF A CROOKED AND TWISTED GENERATION AMONG WHOM YOU SHINE AS LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
