THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS WORLDWIDE - 2- TRUE CHRISTIANITY!

  What is True Christianity? This is a fundamental question that every Christian should be asking himself or herself in view of some strange and negative things we are witnessing in Christendom today. This is a very serious message for everyone who says he or she is a Christian. We are talking about what makes CHRISTIANITY! We have so many Christians in the world today but they are far from meeting the biblical standard. In short, the rate at which the tenets of true Christianity are being eroded in our generation today calls for caution and sober reflection. The original Christianity that Christ came to establish for humanity, which the Disciples continued with in their days and handed over to the succeeding generation has now been bastardized, watered down, corrupted and heavily destroyed. That is why all the available revelations and visions from many brothers and Sisters are all saying that Christ is WEEPING seriously in heaven for what is happening in the Church on the earth. Not only that, even our fathers of faith in heaven such as Abraham, Moses, Paul and the Apostles are also crying for what is happening to the Church they left behind! Beloved, what I am about sharing with you is authentic and very serious! Jesus says if you know these things happy are you if you do them (John 13:17). Now what is True Christianity that we should all cleave to In our generation?

1. GENUINE REPENTANCE - True Christianity begins with genuine repentance and conversion. A lot of people we see in the Church today are not genuinely converted or born again! That is why you see a lot of 419 or fraud in the Church these days. Many divorcees, drug pushers, and Thieves are even pastoring churches. Jesus says unless a person is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. And all the above mentioned vices will become the trade marks of a person who is not born again or spiritually transformed. You can't expect something good to come out of a person who is not truly and thoroughly regenerated (Rom 12:2). Many people you see in the Church today including many Christian Leaders, have not genuinely repented and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior, and that is why you see a lot of crisis such as Leadership tussles, fighting, pride and carnality in the body of Christ everywhere. This is not how it was in the Early Church.

2. FULL CONSECRATION AND DEVOTION TO THE THINGS OF HEAVEN! This is a very vital fact. True Christianity is complete consecration, laying everything on the Altar including your life, money, property etc for God's holy use. The moment you become a Christian, you are No longer the owner of your life, you have become God's property. (1Cor 6:19,20). Your life is being controlled from heaven by the Holy Spirit. (John 3:7,8). This is true Christianity! But today, many people claim to be born again and you don't see any change in their lives! This is pathetic. Pls let us go back to the Christianity of the apostolic age!

3. IT IS PRACTICAL AND NOT THEORY! The Bible tells us how Jesus Christ began to DO what He was teaching His Disciples. ( Acts 1:1). That is, He started doing or practicing what He was teaching His followers. This is practical Christianity. Many Church Leaders today are teaching their members what they (the leaders) don't do! The Apostle Paul says be ye followers of me even as I am following Christ. ( 1Cor 11:1). It is not theory, it is practical. This is the BOTTOM LINE you must know in Christianity. On that note, all these professing Christians without practicing it In reality will not make it to heaven!

4. IT IS A LIFE OF HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS! Beloved, Christianity is not any how association of people! It is the group of people who have agreed to surrender their lives to God through Jesus Christ and are ready to live the life of heaven on earth. This is the life of holiness and righteousness. The Bible tells us that without holiness No one will see the Lord. Heb 12:14. Jehovah God has also declared in an unequivocal term in both old and the new Testaments that He is a holy God and that anyone who is not holy cannot dwell in His holy heaven. (Lev 11:44,45, 1Pet 1:15,16). For your info, The write up at the gate of heaven is HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD and HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS! The holiness the Bible is saying must be both within and without - that is, your heart must be pure and your physical appearance must be decent as a Christian. Your dressing must be devoid of flamboyancy and worldliness. That is the standard. As a Christian woman your hairdos must be natural, devoid of any artificial, bleaching or tattoo on your body! Your spirit, soul and body must be preserved unto God. This is the standard.

5. IT IS WALKING ON THE NARROW WAY. Again, True Christianity is a narrow way. Mt 7:13,14 has given us the clue that real Christianity is following the narrow part! This is the way of patient endurance. This is the way of suffering before resting. It is the way of inconveniences and hardships before enjoyment. The Bible says anyone who is living in Pleasure on this earth while he or she is still alive, is already dead spiritually. Read 1Tim 5:6. On this revelation, it means all these Christians or Ministers of God who are living in great wealth and affluence, having everything to their Comfort, lacking nothing today, are already dead spiritually! True Christianity is suffering before resting as Christ and the Early Church did. This is the BOTTOM LINE for every Christian who is hoping to make it to heaven at last must hold unto. It is the Narrow Way and nothing else.

6. IT IS AGAPE LOVE. This is the love that comes from the heart. This is a true love. God the Father manifested it to humanity (John 3:16), when He gave His only begotten Son to die for the whole world! The Lord Jesus Christ also manifested it to us when He said greater love has No man than this, that a man laid down His life for His friends! (John 15:13). We are also expected to show this same, AGAPE Love towards our fellow human beings, by meeting their needs. That is true Christianity! True love is the bed rock of Christianity. Anyone who confesses that he or she is a Christian must love God from his or her heart and also love his or her neighbor as he or she loves himself or herself! This is the basic truth you must grab as a true Christian.

7. IT IS A LIFE OF FAITH - Again, true Christianity is a life of faith. It is living by faith and not by sight! Jesus highly commended the Believers who have never seen but believe! Those who want to see before they believe are like Thomas who would not believe unless he saw it with his eyes. Some people want to see miracles, see heaven or hell before they will believe. These are 'Thomas Christians'. (John 20:27-29). You don't need to see heaven or hell before you believe it as it is written in the Bible. If you don't believe the ones that are coming from these chosen brethren, Just believe your Bible. True Christianity is believing before seeing. Every true Christian is living by faith. It is by faith we stop Committing sins and start living in obedience to the word of God. It is by faith our prayers are answered. Therefore a Christian who has not seen anything but believe in God for everything is a very good and strong Christian Indeed. He or she is a Christian with a strong faith in the Lord. Pls share this message to your neighbors and save souls from hell. God bless you all in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen and Amen!!
