Deny your flesh- serve SELFLESSLY



Be truthful to your calling and whatever you wish to be. People act selfishly putting others in danger. Christianity is about truth; your life must project, promote and protect the image of your Father, God. Let your life reveal and manifest Christ, bring people to the kingdom rather than scattering them away from God. As a student, your roommates know your commitment to church but because of certain attitudes and behaviors, it deters them from God. The moment you leave for church, you end up in your guy or lady’s room to fornicate, gossip about people, backbiting: are you gathering saints or scattering them? Christianity is not about attending church but fearing God in all your ways therefore sacrifice certain attitudes when necessary to keep the Kingdom of GOD full and active.
Your attitude, both actions and inactions must portray Christ and attract people to Christ, henceforth deny your flesh of certain things that will prevent people from coming into the Kingdom of God. Don’t act selfishly although you have the right to everything, not all things are expedient. The book of 1Corinthians8:9 says “but take heed lest any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to them that are weak”. This verse reveals that one’s freedom, in depth knowledge about God and maturity in Christ if he/she acts haphazardly can cause the born-again or weak in Christ to fall. Therefore if per your knowledge dating is good but the weak in Christ sees it as sin, guard the person to the truth before you start dating or else your freedom to date can cause that weak in Christ to fall by following your step and later mess up meanwhile you’ll be on the right path. So for the weak in Christ to be safe, why don’t you deny your flesh of that freedom, teach and guide that person and when he/she has fully understood, then you can now enjoy your freedom!!
Always remember God first……stay blessed!
