Believers lifestyle:
Peter 1:15 -16.
How do you feel when you enter a bank to save your capital? you said you feel relax that's very good.
What do you see around? you see settings and staffs, good. How do they dress? You said excellently.
Do you think they don't have other fancy and seductive dresses too? Yes they do. But there is a rule or principle to follow. more so, how are you been addressed? Very well.
What does that mean to you? It simply means "manners".
Some things Christ has taught us, and also in the book of colossians 4:5 - 6, John 6 :12 and Ephesians 5:8- 26 told us that we are the light .
what does light do? it exposes Darkness. Meaning that only the children of light stays in the light Matt 5:14 -16.
These are the lifestyle that you and i are expected to emulate so that we can set the right path for people to follow.
Dear reader, God loves you but this unglorifying lifestyle you are living need a change today. One thing about christ-followers lifestyle is, it produces the fruit of the spirit according to the book of Galatians 5:22.
God sent his word to you today to adopt his lifestyle and enjoying His blessings in the book of John 20:27.
As belivers in Christ and in the word of God, it is time for you to accept the truth that you are in the world but you are not of the world; that is the difference between fact and Faith.
It amazed me when I see Believers in Christ who are not bothered on how they live their life especially their response and attitude when unChristian situation arises. Still unfurtunate today that some Christians live their life like Thomas forgotten that our Lord Jesus has designed a lifestyle for His children.
Christianity is a lifestyle of continual believing in the word of God and in His work. John 15:4 27 , John13:12 - 17 .
Apostle Tomas was a man who lived by the principles of the world even though he walked with Jesus for many years as a disciple yet the principle that States "seeing is believing " as become part of him, just like you. But when he had an encounter with Jesus after His resurrection he learnt to adopt new principles from Jesus that state "blessed are those who do not see me and believe" . what does this mean to you? It means before God's word becomes flesh in you, you must believe first.
Brethren, believing in seeing is the principles or lifestyle design for us by the world standard. But if you want to enjoy all the promises of God partaining to your life you need to adopt Christ principles. Romans 10:17 ,Matthew7: 24- 26
For Example, Queen Esther adopted this principle in the book of Esther 4:15 -16, also the woman with the issues of blood; and Martha adopt this principles.
Dear Reader, Adopt Christ Believers lifestyle and victory shall be yours.
Remain Blessed.
