How Possible Is It To Be In The World And Yet Not Be Of The World? by Nobody: 11:44pm On Sep 17, 2017
In this ever busy, rapidly-changing world, it is almost impossible to stay focused because of the great revolutions man has effected in a bid to survive and flow with the crowd and as such, one wonders how possible it is to succeed without “behaving like the Romans “in a world full of pressure and taunts, capable of making the religious faithful succumb to using man-made tactics that are “legalised“ thus making it very stressful to make heaven. Is it possible to stand firm? And with what tactics?

Good day everyone. I am sure you know what it feels like to be the one the one that backs down because of your faith and belief, to be harassed and molested. At times you look stupid and are prone to lots of criticisms from every angle- even your diary is filled up with “most embarrassing moments“. Take your time to review such moments and pray for strength and lots of wits to scale through.

Look up ways to respond and act in such situations, how to say no politely without severing a relationship, or just walk away. There are days when keeping silent will help.

I just want to be where you are lord. Do not let me depart from you. I'm encouraged when I know you've got plans for me. Guide me, help me find my way because I'm uncertain, naïve, timid, taciturn. Give me a voice to speak up and speak loud. Back me up when I back down and I'll be alright.

BRO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN BY "MAKING IT STRESSFUL TO MAKE HEAVEN"...BECAUSE EVERY BELIEVER IS HEAVEN BOUND...NOTHING CAN STEAL US IN HIS HAND.

To be at the top you'll need to stay at the top.
What does it take?
Practice

That's what it takes!

One day at a time, sweet Jesus- that's all I'm asking of you.

A good question to the so called born again Christians. They call them selves Christians and yet they go through our educational system, attend our universities, visit our hospitals, use our technology, drive our cars, fly on our jets, use our social media, listen to our music and follow our fashion.
Yet they claim not to be of this world. So Christians, are you Martians?

Not really...
It's like crossing a termite-infested bridge that looks set to collapse at any moment. Such a person has to be wary of his/her footing. Crossing the bridge is hard itself and getting to the end seems more important. You just have to thread softly.

This body of mine wants to condemn me. It doesn't want to concede defeat!
I need to crucify this thing!
Hang it on a stake and let it burn!

Keep calm always.
Keep calm and observe.
Keep calm and meditate.

Give me 3 reason you think or know you will make heaven but an unbeliever will not.

(1)- The scripture affirms so. John3:16_ For God so love the world( emphasis me) that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I am forever save through JESUS.

Here is also reason you May not make heaven..

According Muslim, Hindu, Judaism, Krishnan and other available religions. You will also not make heaven because to them, you are also an unbeliever.
