A
reminder for today
One
day a man from Baal-shalishah brought the man of God a sack of fresh grain and
twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first grain of his harvest. Elisha
said, "Give it to the people so they can eat." (2 Kings 4:42)
There was famine in the land as Elisha told the man from Baal-shalishah to give the food to the
people. God did another amazing miracle through Elisha by making the food
enough for everyone so that there was left overs.
Scripture often refers to Elisha as “The man of God” and
this is something that made me think yesterday. You see we are Christians but
are we “All-the-time Christians” or are we “Part-time Christians”. Two scriptures
came to my mind:
"I
know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you
were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot
nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! (Revelation 3:15-16)
"Anyone
who isn't with me opposes me, and anyone who isn't working with me is actually
working against me. (Matthew 12:30)
As I was driving to work I was thinking how people do not
have time for each other anymore. They seem angry all the time and they only
seem to think about themselves. We go to church on Sunday but on Monday we live
a life contradicting the message Jesus gave and how He wants us to live. When people
look at you will they say that this is a man/woman of God or will they miss the
fact that you are a Christian?
My dear friend, this is our challenge. To live a life
that reflects our beliefs. To treat people as Jesus wants us to treat them and
to be full-time warm Christians. God does not like a lukewarm Christian and
Jesus clearly states that you either for Him or against Him. There is no
in-between Christian. Surely you do your work correct so why not live your life
correct. Come with me as we change our ways and focus our eyes on Jesus so that
we can mirror His image to the world so the world will see us as a man/woman of
God.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
