SCRIPTURE: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Act 11:26
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When your character is right, your preaching is short.
Many years ago, when I was a student in a university, a young man who was a chronic Indian Hemp smoker would always quake and quiver any time he saw me coming. Unknown to me, he had his reason for doing that. This, he later made known to me after his conversion, and it was as instructive as it was somewhat amusing. He told me that in those days, it looked like I was coming to destroy him.
Obviously, being that I was already a Holy Ghost-filled born-again Christian, there must be something he saw in me that so badly terrified the devil in him.
Now, this was how he gave his life to Christ: One day, I confronted him and told him to go on his knees for prayers. He went on his knees, and I led him to Christ by the fire and force of spirituality and character. I had not seen that man smile in his life until I led him to Christ.
Beloved, the reason some people do not want to follow you to your God or to church could be your lifestyle or character. Maybe they can see that your lifestyle is not different from theirs. When both you and they are habitual late comers at your place of work. When they write an earlier resumption time after resuming late and you follow them to do the same, they are watching you.
When you tell them to give their life to Christ, they would see no reason to do so because there is no difference between their sinful lifestyle and yours.
Beloved, let your character be godly so that your witnessing can be potent. Character is a potent witnessing tool.
The disciples of Jesus were called Christians first in Antioch. People must have looked at their character and noticed that they behaved like Christ. So, they called them Christians (little Christs).
Remember, those were unbelievers calling them Christians, and not believers that called themselves Christians.
Beloved, godly character increases the potency of Christian witnessing. When your character is godly, your witnessing is potent. When your character is right, your preaching is short, because when there is plenty of evidence there is minimal argument. Evidence will always tackle arguments.
Beloved, never allow any questionable character make unbelievers say, “If being a Christian is like this, I had better remain in the world.” Don’t let your character discredit Christianity. Let your life be an epistle for unbelievers to read so they can turn to Christ.
Remember this: When your character is right, your preaching is short.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Stand on the principles of the Word when you are confronted by temptations.
2. Trust God to help you conquer the self-life and unrighteousness.
PRAYER: Father, I ask that You help me to maintain a godly character so my witnessing can be potent. Let the flesh and its lust be completely overpowered and overridden by your Will, Lord, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
