Notice that the Apostle Paul spoke about this kind of situation in TITUS 1:15–16:
“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.”
In this time, it is very important to surround yourself with the right kind of people. “To the pure all things are pure.” Even if they do not yet see all things as pure, they believe that everything can be made pure with God.
We must be very vigilant and attentive, watching out for those who pretend to know God, having a form of godliness while their works deny Him. The Holy Ghost is not silent in the life of a man. When He comes into the chambers of your life and begins to navigate it, what follows is a change in character you begin to produce fruit.
No one sees what is happening inside a seed when it is planted in the soil, but the outcome the fruit is very visible. This is to say that our lives are meant to produce fruits that abide. We cannot profess to know God while continuing in a life of disobedience, abominable character, and ungodly behavior, yet still claim to be representatives of Christ.
It is time we examine ourselves through the lens of the Spirit, being truthful with ourselves about where we fall short. When we do, we must be willing to accept correction and ask the Holy Ghost for the power to live righteously.
We notice that the world is always looking for a way to speak against the Church, and this is often because of the character of the people they encounter. We must remember that we are representatives of Christ. We do not merely exist; we exist to reveal a dimension of God. As such, we must take deliberate steps to live in obedience to His instructions.
Stay Revived!
