Morning.It's a beautiful cold morning in Nairobi Kenya but I am surviving.So,I got this new job,where net is free,totally awesome.Means I will be writing more,especially now that we are not that busy.
I have decided to start a column called word for today and it will be me sharing my Bible Study lessons with you.I hope you will be blessed and encouraged.Oh,you can check out my other blog,imperfectous.wordpress.com.I have chosen to dedicate that to poetry only.
Word for today is from 1 John 2:15-27.Talks about love for the world and love for God.
We cannot serve two masters at a time.We have to choose which one to be loyal to.God and the world are opposites of each other and both want different things and demand different things.Both demands are hard at times but i have come to learn that whatever God asks of us is ultimately for our good.Like His rules and commands are all for our benefit.The world on the other hand cares not about you and me.It just has its rules and if you do not follow you are branded shady and some other names but it really does not do anything to honestly improve your life.
So we are born in this world but we are not of this world ie,as believers of Jesus.We are just passers by but we tend to get comfortable,too comfortable I should say,that times we end up surpassing the world people,beating them at their own game.There is need for a difference.Between a born again someone and one who is not.When those difference cease from being and its not because the non believer has converted,then there is an issue right there.
So,a lot of us decide to do double standards.One foot here and the other one there.Problem is these are the people God says he will spit out of his mouth.Now,I don't know the implications and im not sure I would like to find out.Isn't it hard though,living two different lives though one and truth is,it will catch up with you and you end up losing both.
Make a choice.Choose who it is you want to be associated with and stick to your choice.If you are a Christian,living a double life,ask yourself why?Find out what is still holding you back?What is this that you just can't let go?What is its advantage to you?Is it worth your life really?Be honest with yourself and make the choice that will work for you best.That which you will be able to live with for the rest of your life.
God or the world?
