Why Are We Scared Of Professing Our Faith In Public? by vera031(f): 11:15am On Feb 12, 2015
Most atimes we all get scared of professing our faith. For example:
You see a Catholic who cannot say the grace before meal or make the sign of the cross because he/she is outside.
You see a christain who is afraid to share the gospel either in their place of work or in the bus because they are scared of what people might say.
Most of us eat outside without praying. Why? Are we scared of someone or something? Are we shy because we are christains? Or is it by your grace grace that you are hale and hearthy even after the meal?.

Most people are even ready to renounce their faith when threatened.
Please I need an answer.......... Why are we scared

What you have to realise is that when it comes to serving God you don't have to consider what people would think as long as you are doing the right thing.

Most times it's because some christians aren't sure of their stand with God. They tends to seek for help from other gods if they can't really wait on God for a long time. And if you are not sure of the product that you tasted how will you precribe it to others?!

anybody who is ashamed to associate with Jesus in public isnt really for Him; i.e never know Him for real!
even on social media, most pple would rather share/post pics than talk about their faith and wouldnt like to comment, like or share any post that talk about Jesus.

there is no two way about it, if you love som1, u'll always feel proud to talk about him/her or do what he/she loves....same thing with ur profession; if you are for Jesus Christ, you'll be proud to talk about Him always.

Christianity is best expressed by action or loving your neighbor as yourself rather than mere speaking out or professing.
the best way to profess your faith is not professing at all, let people see the light in you.
nobody is interested in your talking or preaching
if Christianity or Jesus is the way you will simply live the teachings of Jesus let people wish to be like you, and stop talking or preaching

preaching is good, but living your life without preaching is better.
so, if you see people like us not preaching it doesn't mean we are ashamed of Jesus or our faith.
it's just that we want to live the freedom Jesus gave to us ,we want to be free from preaching, going to church, too much prayer,shouting and speaking in tongues ,and enjoy our lives.
let those who want to be free from religion (athiests ) know that we can truly be free in religion.
it takes knowledge and understanding to come to this level of your faith, which is the highest level of spirituality in Christianity.
enjoyment of life is the highest level of spirituality.
speaking in tongues,preaching and going to church is the lowest level. a lot of people don't know.

If the gospel wasn't preached to you or if the missionaries had your mindset, would you have known about it? For all we know we would still be idol worshippers. Showing your faith can be in so many ways; you might see someone going the wrong part and decide to talk to the person.

if you correct people it is not faith professing.
even Muslims correct themselves too.
if you go preach in places where the Gospel has not been heard before, places like the rural areas where African traditional religion are dominated, it is not bad, i can do anything to support that, so long people are converted to Christianity from their African religions.
But to preach in cities like the city i live?
no, i can't do that.
Because, almost everybody here are christians already, thanks to missionaries who broght christianity, they made the job easy for me.
even before i open my bible to a drunkard he will tell me what i don't know in the bible.
so, why should i kill myself?
abeg make i enjoy jare
