Category: Be Different In Character

“12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

Everyone has a nature which God has imbedded in us. Many influencing factors has taken over our real self, influence of envy, revenge, hatred and poverty. Our words has changed and our faith has been tampered with all in the name of being like someone else. We are so much carried away by what others are and have departed from who God created us to be. We’ve looked down on ourselves the way other sees us and this has killed the self esteem imbedded in us from the foundation of our creation. We’ve been mentored against our real self. We’ve been tutored to be bad examples which we know we are not.

Apostle Paul, speaking to His spiritual son, made it known to him to work on Himself not working on whom others want him to be. He should be different among other believers. We are to be a good and different example to others not like them. We are to work on our real nature to be better on a daily bases and not to be the product of a bad influence. To relate in love, in purity of mind and in faith. We need to improve on our mind set, not to be what the world would have us be but what God would want us be. 

Attitude of men are not to be our focus but the attitude of Christ. He refuses to be influence by the Pharisees and the Sadducees. He mede His stand known and till today, billions of soul became His follower. Improve on your faith, your love and purity of heart. Stop seeing yourself as haven reached the best you can but keep working on yourself.
