THE CHALLENGES OF A CHRISTIAN ON EARTH
📕TEXT:
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved (Matthew 10:22).
❤️CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
No Christian is meant to have a pleasant experience in this world.
📖MESSAGE
If you have no trouble, attacks, opposition, or persecution from unbelievers, your Christian faith is in doubt.
According to our text for today, the Lord said to His disciples, "The world will hate you for my name's sake...."
The fact that you're a Christian has placed you in opposition to the rest of the world.
Our journey as believers on earth is not meant to be a pleasant one, but one full of all kinds of battles waged from different directions.
No matter how much you try, you can't please the world. Their way of life is in direct opposition to ours.
Two people can only work together when they agree. Failure to agree will eventually lead to friction and lots of misunderstanding.
The people that our Lord fed in the wilderness were the same set of people who called for him to be crucified.
Immediately you got born again, you were separated from the world. Our way of living runs against theirs. That is why it will be very difficult for a believer to marry an unbeliever.
In the long run, the believer who is unequally yoked with an unbeliever may end up losing his salvation, because we're always at war with the darkness of this world.
You must stand firm because the environment of this world is never friendly to any Christian.
🌷CALL TO SURRENDER
If you would like to give your life to Jesus, you can do so by saying this prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I come to you a sinner. I ask that You forgive my sins. I accept you into my heart as my Lord and personal saviour. Thank You for saving me, in Jesus' name - Amen."
🙏PRAYER
Father, help me remain faithful to You despite opposition from the world, in Jesus' name- Amen.
