Get Your Life Back!! =)

(Doing this for the benefit of others and to squeeze spiritual juice out of me!)

A child of God is a believer of God!! He does what God instructs..

A believer enters the kingdom of God once he believed Christ!!

We don't need to know all the truth then to be free! A child of God just needs to practice a few simple truth and he will be set free and make known to other truth as well..

1John 2:

v12: "I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name."

v13: "I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father."

v14: "I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one."

In this passage, 3 stages of Christians were being addressed... Children, Young Men and Fathers..

The duty of the child is to GROW! Shouldn't have any other responsibility.. Even if there is, the responsibility must be given to let the child GROW IN THE LORD! If we started off zero with God when we 1st received Christ, the only thing that can be expected is that we will only get to know Him more, not any lesser as we walk with Him. Don't know anything, just ASK!!

The duty of the a young man is to OVERCOME the evil one, BE STRONG! We must not let the enemy have any foothold in our lives. We FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!! He may have established areas in us over our attitudes, habits, feelings and thinking patterns before we know God. We bound to have stuggles and difficult challenges when we want to change. Be open! share your problems and seek advise!! That's y we're reminded to BE STRONG AND to OVERCOME the evil one!

The duty of the father is to KNOW GOD! This is definitely a deeper and more intimate knowledge and experience of God than a child's. Also, unlike a young man, a father is not preoccupied with enemy. Rather, he is preoccupied with knowing God and obeying Him more and more. Even a father grows as he leads spiritual children and takes responsibility for their spiritual growth. A father definitely needs to lead by example and have strong sets of Godly values and principles to govern his life!


Reflection:

Which stage are you in? Is there a particular area of spiritual growth that God wants you to deal with?

Are you being regular and active in Cell and Church?

Do you share your daily challenges and struggle with your spiritual leader? Do you meet up with him regularly? If not, what are you going to do with all the important aspects of Kingdom living.

Still confused?
Read 1John1:5-10 and may the Lord's hands of grace lead you step by step to do what's right! =)


God bless you!
