6 Bad Habits Christians Have To Drop With Immediate Effect by Adekanyeope: 8:45am On Nov 06, 2016
Christians are known for doing some good things: feeding the hungary,Clothing the clothless, caring for the poor and sick people around them, uplifting the downtrodden, fighting for justice and many other feats of love we see them do around, however, some Christians also own a poor reputation for numerous bad habits. Here is a list of six things Christian must stop doing

Being Judgmental
Being Judgemental is on e of the deadly habits Jesus repeatedly warns His followers not to do. Despite the numerous teachingbs of Jesus against being judgemente, many Christians mistakenly assume that withholding judgment is a form of accepting, condoning and even affirming sin. But judgment from Christians doesn’t determine whether a particular belief, action or lifestyle is either wrong or right in the eyes of God.

Predicting the Future
Being a christian means that you believe in God and his only begotten Son as taught in the holy bible. The Gospel message of Christ’s love is often overshadowed by misguided Christians who make predictions and “prophecies” on political affairs, planetary alignments, environmental phenomena, current events, natural disasters, the Antichrist, End Times and the Apocalypse. When this happens, they inevitably blame a particular person or people group they assume are responsible for God’s wrath, and are actually participating in a sinful form of divination, fear-mongering and dishonesty.

Overcomplicating the Love of Jesus
There comes a point, unfortunately, in the Christian journey when many start to feel bored, unfulfilled and dissatisfied with the unglamorous task of loving others. this is because their leaders have made it very complicating to be a believer, they make christianity look likes its a pot of bitter soup that has to be licked cold. Fine It requires sacrifice, humility, service, patience, forgiveness and lots of love to live well either as a moralist or Christian. Christianity is sweet and should be done with little or no complication. God wants you to be happy so seek to know more with a open but not complicated mind.

Posting Garbage on Social Media
The clickbait links, offensive political memes, self-righteous condemnations of others, bitter theological rants, and out-of-context Bible excerpts cause more harm than good.Posting vitriolic, superficial, and offensive content on our Facebook feeds and Twitter accounts doesn’t glorify God. Before posting anything, stop and think: “Is this true, helpful, inspiring, necessary and kind?” See lete me tell you this, That it sounds religious doesn't make it good and worthy of emulation, infact being religious is not equal to being Righteous.Ultimately, Jesus is what Christianity is all about, not political platforms, doctrinal disagreements, online religious commentary or ominous prophecies.

Being Hypocritical
It’s easy to talk about God, argue theological issues and post about faith issues on all sorts of communication platforms. But in order to follow Christ, we are required to actually put our words into actions. As the old adage goes, we must practice what we preach.Unfortunately, too many Christians talk about Christ’s love without actually being loving. Meanwhile, the rest of world witnesses this obvious contradiction and simply stops listening.

Being Closed-Minded
The problems listed above are often caused by being closed-minded—not considering, acknowledging or even dialoguing with the infinite amount of diverse factors that exist beyond our own limited experiences. A wise man increases in knowledge, you have to be ready to Learn, Unlearn and Relearn as you can not do above what you know.When cultural, ethnic, racial, socio-economic, emotional, intellectual, experiential, age-specific and gender-specific factors are ignored, rejected or simply undetected, Christians foolishly cut themselves off from a vast resource of wisdom and insight.

In the same way, some believers continue to dismiss science, education and any form of “outside” information that originates beyond the realm of Christendom. Doing so leads to woeful ignorance, irrelevance and an immoral sense of exclusivism. Although Christians are guilty of doing all of these things and more, it’s vitally important to differentiate between Christ and Christian culture—they aren’t the same thing. Ultimately, Jesus is what Christianity is all about, not political platforms, doctrinal disagreements, online religious commentary or ominous prophecies. When all else fails, we must do our best to emulate the life of Christ—loving the world around us to the best of our ability.

How about secret fornication.
Let's be very sincere with ourselves for once, it's very hard to abstain from sex.
grin
I hate holier than thou attitudes of some Christians.





































But the truth is that it is very POSSIBLE! I relate and talk more to average unperfect Christians because I've "bin ther done that" and I know how hard/painful it could be wanting to please GOD but feeling so... I'm happy to tell you that GOD understands, all you need do is that you must NEVER give up on trying to be Holy; that's the key. HE just want you to be sincere like David. Because of Pride, most people don't table their weakness before GOD. David wept bitterly before GOD, confessing and telling GOD that he had a weakness that would destroy him if GOD doesn't intervene. GOD saw his sincerity and proclaimed him to be a "Man after my Heart" All HE needs is your sincerity. Philippians 1:6 "HE that began the good Work in you is more than able to perfect you" When you realize that out-of-wedlock sex is the most effective weapon of the enemy through which you are being rubbed of the speedy fulfillment of your Glorious Destiny, then you'll know it's mandatory to abstain. The big question is HOW?

1. To start with, you have to be very sincere and determine that you want to be Holy(it's a very Great Power).
2. Read/watch/listen to only books/movies/musics that glorify GOD and fill your mind with love for GOD and desire to see the world become better and Holy.
3. Remind people that Rapture is about to happen and the need to be Holy and rapturable (the devil hates preaching with strong animosity). The more you evangelize, the easier it is for your not to do things you spoke against (scientifically proven that you find it more difficult to do things you condemn).
4. Pray fervently during your private vigils on your bed that Holy Spirit should take permanent control of your thoughts and the Source of your Thoughts.
5. Thanks GOD continually everywhere in your mind, while working, eating, bathing, every time. It's the Key to your next Level of Greatness.
Finally, if you still don't have the Grace to abstain, get married. "Pride goeth before destruction", a cheap wedding with the presence of Parents, Pastor and few important people is acceptable. Even as a student, you can marry and take injections that prevent pregnancy. That way, you and your hubby focus on fulfilling your Glorious Destiny with clean conscience. The major cause of all problems in the world today (resent alarming rate of divorce, corruption, murder, armed robbery, etc.) resulted from indiscriminate sex with different partners. The day you start having sex with another person other than your first love/partner, a large part of your conscience dies.
We shall not miss Heaven in JESUS Name.

I cannot see any African Christian being able to do all these.

A pagan in the village who believes that being at peace & harmony with nature is what matters, can succeed in doing most. Who believes that nature in its wisdom has allowed both good & evil to co-exist as both have useful roles to play. That the main human concern should be seeking to make the cosmos align in a way that both good and evil bring one favour. That is, that good benefits one actively & evil simply stays away & not scupper the good tidings.

Whereas for a Christian, he seeks to condemn & fight, cast & bind evil, even when evil siddon jeje. grin

Therefore, he cannot be objective but meddle into things that might later upset the balance of things.

All I know it's more difficult for a poor man to make
heaven than a rich man!
Why?
=> Poor men are bitter
=> Poor man lives in a dirty environment ( cleanliness is
next to godliness)
=> A poor man is not humble! Never mistake poverty for
humility. Eg Money miss road
=> A poor man naturally wicked! Aluu4
=> A poor man is always vexed
Moreover,Heaven is more like an external bliss.

Majority of Nigerian Christians are Religious but Not Righteous.
They can quote the Bible from Genesis to revelation...

But they know nothing about virtues like compassion and kindness... When it comes to unforgiveness and wickedness, they are the "best" in the world.

Even the Devil occupies the front seat on Sunday morning.
