What If We’re All Getting Christianity Wrong? by Derajoyce(f): 10:24pm On May 22, 2020
Constantly reminded of how far we’re from the promise.
That period were you question the depth of the religion you were born into is valid and healthy.
That break where the heart and mind wonders, deliberating the existence of a God is useful in forging an intimate bond.
However, once you’ve decided on being a Christian, it’s only imperative you aim for the full worth of your new identity.
What has continuously bugged my mind is how little Christians assess the power of the source, especially to dominate industries.
The ease of riveting to a life of “performing holy acts” to please the Father has painfully squeezed many Christians into a cube of non relevance in major industries.
While it’s easy to scuff at the mention of leading industries, controlling resources is at the heart of how much impact Christians can actually make.
Why?
Because, Industry leaders make the socioeconomic rules.
Not to say a life ridden with ills (sins) pleases the Father; a fate that wouldn’t exist if that brethren were truly in communion with God.
God’s transformative presence will always be reflected in a vulnerable heart, through the bearing of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Would this take one day?
No.
More like a lifetime of continuous incremental growth.
God has never hidden the fact that we in the human flesh CANNOT earn his love and grace through our “performance.”
Hence, the free gift of grace.
Yet, the inheritance of the Sons remain vastly untouched as most of us squabble around to show ourselves “approved.”
Everything in our lives ought to speak of a GREATER light. Especially our work and how we treat people; definitely not the usual “judgy” look and hell tales.
After all, no one can boost of his righteousness.
The one who has been forgiven much, loves much.
James 4:2 says, "Ye have not, because ye ask not." God expects us to ask!
The Son of a King does not ask to own a dainty room in the palace, when he’s destined to rule a kingdom. That son will ask for strategic placements, military expertise and an apt ability to execute.
Of course, it’s only a son who knows he’s a Son.
