Hey *Y’all! I pray this message truly blesses someone today. Today’s topic is something that has been on my spirit lately. How many of *y’all know someone who only comes to church to check a block? I mean they only come to church for ‘show’ on Sundays, but during the rest of the week they live like heathens? They hoop, holler, shout, jump, and pass out on the altar, but on Monday through Friday, they curse, belittle, backbite, fight, and outright disrespect others. I’m writing on this, because it is becoming more common to see many “church folk” live like hell during the week, but then “act” all holy and sanctified on Sunday.
If you know someone who falls into this category, and if you consider them to be a friend of yours you need to pull them to the side and tell them to please stop playing in God’s house. Tell them to turn from their ungodly ways. If you are someone who acts like this, then you need to really look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself -Who are you fooling? Because you aren’t fooling God, He knows all and sees all. He evaluates our hearts, and He knows that you are putting on a show –and He is not impressed. He knows that your heart is hard, and that you back bite and belittle your brothers and sisters throughout the rest of the week. He also knows that some of you can’t even get into your cars good, before you take off your sanctified suits and put on your satan-fied suits. For those of you living like this; Aren’t you tired of playing with God? Aren’t you tired of putting on a show and only having a tired, sweaty body to show for it? Aren’t you tired of going to the altar and not seeing any changes in your life? If you are tired of this, then you must; 1.) Pray and ask God for deliverance, 2.) Pray and ask God to purify your heart. 3.)Pray and ask God to show you how to love others –everyday. 4.) Read and study the Word.
This message is not to belittle or point fingers at anyone; but it is to help you to better look at yourselves. If you don’t recognize that there is a problem then there can be no change. No one is perfect, but as Christians we should all be striving for perfection in Christ. We should leave our churches with a renewed spiritual strength ready to conquer –not join the world. This is not to say we won’t have some downer days, because we will all experience those too, but if all of your days are downers, then you need to truly evaluate your relationship with Christ. If you call yourself a true Child of God, then your fruit should represent this every day. You should be planting seeds of life so that you will draw sinners, etc. to God’s Kingdom, not running them off because of your hypocritical ways.
Aren't you ready to experience everything that God has in store for you? I can’t speak for you, but I can speak for myself when I say, “Yes Lord I am ready to walk in your ways, I want to experience true peace and love. Please cleanse me white as snow. Please purify my heart so that I will walk in the ways that please you, please send the Holy Spirit to convict me when I fall from your righteous path, Please help me to be a 24hr 7-day a week Christian, In Jesus Name I pray! Amen.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed *Y’all!.
