We are the respresentives of Christ on earth today, whatsoever we do should be according to the partern of the lord of work but many a times when you vividly figure out the reality from the life we live as the ambassador of Christ is contrary to the lifestyle of the Christ.
TEXT:1 Timothy 6
(4) Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding of the master of the work. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.
It seems as of the foundation of which Christianity was layed in the early days have been broken down by our own Christianity, what Jesus insisted on before anyone could following him which is the condition for discipleship has been replayed with a 3 or 7 month program which we call several name. Jesus said:Luke 14:26,33
[26]“If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.
[33]So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own. Jesus gave out the condition for following him without missing a word or modifying it, if you recall the rich young ruler that Jesus gave also the condition for following him and the young man went away sorrowful and never returned. Jesus didn't reduce the standard or accommodate him because of his wealth. But in our time we have left the word of God claiming it is a new move of the spirit, we have removed the what was the standing order of becoming a Christian saying we are in the dispensation of the holy spirit, we forget that Jesus did say that the holy spirit only came to testify of him and bring to our remembrance what he has taught us and that he will not speak of himself. So where are we getting what we call the new move of the spirit that goes contrary to the instruction of Jesus. When Jesus was leaving he said to the disciples:Matthew 28
[19]Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. This was the command given to them and passed to us but in our day we are busy gathering crowd and multitude instead of discipleship.
The kingdom of God or his words can not be compromise. That was why he (God) us the no one should add to my words and no one should reduce it. But it is obvious that we are teaching the words to suit us as an individual, misleading the people who are under our tutorship.
We are call into the vineyard of the master to lead, direct and teach people in other to populate the the heaven and depopulate hell but why do we take the things of the world than the things of the kingdom? We are the Christ on the earth,let the purpose at which we were sent be fulfilled.
