Are You Neutral? by biggboy(m): 7:26am On Sep 23, 2018
The world is fast evolving with technology driving ideas, innovations and creations.

So many people are now practically not challenged and engaged to doing something notable and worthwhile, they are basically nonchalant and neutral.

Are you neutral or just still busy doing nothing or engaged doing something notable and worthwhile?

According to the Oxford mini dictionary, to be neutral is to be neither positive nor negative.

Basically, a neutral person is a person who takes no side and is not known for something in particular.

Many so called believers nowadays are neutral in the sense that they are afraid or unwilling to profess their belief.


As a true and genuine believer, you only have one life and that is the life of Jesus Christ in you and you must be proud of that life!


Are you a genuine believer or a neutral believer?

Characteristics Of A Neutral Believer


The characteristics of a neutral believer are numerous, only a few will be mentioned and they include the following;

1. Neutral believers are heady and disobedient.

2. Neutral believers are proud, full of themselves and boastful.

3. Neutral believers are selfish, greedy and covetous.

4. Neutral believers are not prayerful.

5. Neutral believers are too busy and always find excuses not to attend gathering of brethrens.

6. Neutral believers do not read and study their bible regularly.

7. Neutral believers move by sight and not by faith.


A neutral believer is a casual and a carnal believer.


What are the dangers of being a neutral believer?


Dangers Of Being A Neutral Believer

Romans 8:6-8"
(6) KJV:For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
(7) KJV:Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
(cool KJV:So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.


From the bible reference above, we can see some of the dangers, effects and consequences of being a neutral believer.


One of the dangers of being a neutral believer is death spiritually. There are so many walking dead believers because they are neutral and carnal.

Another impending danger to a neutral believer is enmity against God because a neutral believer is proud. Remember, God always resists the proud but gives sufficient grace to the humble.

In addition, another danger and effects a neutral believer is exposed to is inability to please and satisfy God.

Of what value is the life you are living if you are not pleasing and satisfying God? We are created to give God pleasure!

Finally, according to our biblical background in Revelations 3:16, a neutral believer cannot be retained in the plans and purpose of God, he or she God will spew out of his mouth!

Isaiah 35:8b"AMP:And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed;"


Don't be fooled and don't allow the devil and his agents deceive you that you can be neutral and still make heaven because that's a lie from the pit of hell!

Are you all in for God?

How To Overcome Being A Neutral Believer

A neutral believer is spiritually dead, blind and enslaved to sin.

To overcome being a neutral believer, your efforts must be concise and intentional.


First you must be humble, obedient, willing, available and ready to do the will of God.
Irrespective of how 'ridiculous' the will of God may sound, look or feel, obey it!


Again to overcome being a neutral believer, there is a need to protect the “Gates” of your mind and let go some certain behavior and deeds.
Remember, you may be in the world, but you are not of this world!


In addition, there is a great need to study and meditate on the word of God regularly in order to overcome being a neutral believer.
The word of God contains instructions, information and guidelines that will help you grow in all ramifications and draw you closer to God.


Furthermore, to overcome being a neutral believer, think on heavenly things. When your heart and mind is fixed on things above, you will have no time to be neutral. Watch your association, watch where you go and what you allow into your heart.
Guard your heart with all diligence and let it fixed on things above alone.


Finally, to overcome being a neutral believer, there is need to surrender and rededicate your life to Jesus Christ.
There is no need to deceive yourself that you are saved when you know you are not.


Do not delay or procrastinate your salvation, delay is dangerous!
