The opinion varies according to peoples way of life, culture, tradition, concept,involvement, faith, and personal conviction. Mankind is only a copy of unknown when attacked by a gene that tends to remain secret.But have we asked ourselves if collective will has any meaningful success to every potential evil.
Jesus did not segregate where to go nor did he avoid a certain section of the community. He ate with the tax collectors. he spoke about the the face on the coin, he charged they seventy disciples and also the encounter with Peter on the Rise kill and eat issue. Frankly, a true and converted believer will always be a success of spiritual inspiration to all at any time, anywhere and whatever gatherings because he will never be moved to depart from the true teachings of Jesus Christ.
What can we contribute when we attend any gatherings either by omission or commission? Those who spoke for God instead of allowing God to speak for them see things in a different perspective. They misrepresent God by being obsessed to holiness which is not in conformity with Jesus teachings. While we were told to be holy, Jesus did not tell us to abandon our immediate society.He taught us to appreciate our environments and help our neighbours by being our brothers' keeper.
Who is a true believer and true worshipper of Christ? In my my own opinion a true believer and true worshipper is he or she who has a trained heart.who cannot be wavered by events, characters, stories, ideas, worldly desires and needs. Man is like a slug that can enter anywhere. Life is always determine by what we see, hear, smell, feel and think. Nothing happens to ones life without first being registered to the heart. The heart is like man's engine. Our failure to train the heart destroys our ability to reject things hence the sensitive organs of the body registers first to the heart before displaying itself as part of us. Therefore we start practising what we see, hear, smell, feel and thinks when the heart accepts them. But when the heart rejects all the reports we remain whom we are no matter where we go.
Fellow believers train your heart to learn how to trust the teachings and character of Jesus Christ and you will become a blessing and source of inspiration wherever you goes. Those on the other side of the fence will learn from yo and will equally seek to know what God you serve. They will approach you and would equally like to share your God with them. You will no longer be scared of going anywhere, visiting any place of afraid of things corrupting you. You will be confident to visit people because the true God will serve who has taking dominion of your heart will always reject every bad and evil report to your heart. He will act with you at all times. Loneliness is a life with God, a life without Christ and a life without a trained heart.
People attempts to blame the devil for every bad and ungodly things they do. Brethren, It is not the devil but you. Because you refused to train your mind, self and reject Jesus Christ in your heart. The spiritual mind accepts things of the spirit. When the mind is earthly it will definitely accepts the things of the spirit.Jesus was not afraid of confronting the ungodly people. Our relation should be determine by being brothers' keeper and also act of doing good.
What we do, practise and display will either attracts people to Jesus or scare them away.We are either carriers of good or bad legacies. The day we start doing things with the intention of tomorrow,today will start acting for the good of tomorrow. Do not condemn others simple because you see yourself as a believer, One might think that he is a true believer whereas he is not that in the eyes of God. No one is better than others.No one can have double promotion in God' s eyes without being Christ-like.
Running away from people because one think that they will make one become sinner is totally wrong and not Christ-like. It is a demonstration of not being a true believer.It is a high degree of confusion rather than conversion. Paul answered we can eat meats sacrificed for idols but we must be careful not to make others around us become idol worshippers. That means wherever we are we should always be carriers of the vision of Christ. This can only manifest if our hearts have been trained.
Remember to trained your heart and allow Christ to dwell and pilot you so that you will no longer lead yourself. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you at all times and you will become a changer of evil to good, unbelieving heart to believing heart, darkness to light, a motivator and encourager of good.
Lack of trained heart makes the so-called believers to be aggressive,violent,and fighters or soldiers of God rather than allowing God to fight for himself. Why should a plant fight for the planter? Can the house build itself? Fighting for God means that we are stronger than He God and as such does not deserve our worship.
I will always allow God to fight for me because He is stronger than me, He is my protector and my redeemer, my refuge and my be-all and end-all.
