“It’s never too late to get back on track :)”
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world loves you as on of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.” -(John 15:18-19)
“For am I now seeking the approval of man or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” - (Galatians 1:10)
“You cant worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you’ll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can’t worship God and Money both.” - (Matthew 6:24, MSG)
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” - (Matthew 6:34, MSG)
It is hard to change what you see wrong in the world when people think it is “normal”. As a Christian, it is a challenge for us, what can we contribute to this world? How can we correct that wrong mindset of that “normal” thingy.
Once you accept Christ in your life and commit yourself to Him. You have to give up all those worldly things and to stop pleasing the world. - Easy to say than done. Right? Yea. Right.
To some Christians it may be easy to do, but to others it takes a long time before they could actually do it, there are hindrances that is stopping them to grow and to mature and be fruitful.
What are those hindrances???
You fear what people would think and say to you when they notice the changes that you are now, different than they knew before. - called over familiarity.
You doubt if you can really change, it you can finish what you been started. If you can go on being this new you.
Because when people new that you are a Christian or new believer its either you’ll be an inspiration to them or they’ll persecute you. - Waiting for you to commit mistakes. - Watching every move you make.
But expect this, because you chose God over them. The world will gonna hate you (John 15:18-19). The world will make you feel like an outcast. It is okay that they hate you when you know your with other Christians but what if you’re alone? surrounded by them? that’s when you feel the fear and doubt and decided you’ll just be one of them at the same time being a servant of God. Which is a big no no..
Remember (Matthew 6:24), you can’t serve two at the same time. You need to choose one only, whom you’ll serve. God or the World? If not God, then you can’t be His servant (Galatians 1:10).
This is hard if you in yourself are in doubt and fear and confused. But when your heart and mind is in to God. Your all attention to God, choosing is not difficult for you, because you know deep inside whom you’ll want to serve forever. :)
