DON'T COME DOWN!!!!! STAY UP TO THE STANDARDS OF GOD-RIGHTEOUSNESS:-
A teacher sets an exam for his students, they do it and finally, the results are out.
"Huh!" 25%!" a student is shocked.How?How can this be?He feels so down and sad to have scored 25% out of 100."I must improve, I must get serious now; This has to improve" he says to himself.
As he is still thinking, he hears another one say,"I have 25."...Hehee You too?You also had 25%?He asks in bewilderment.
He now begins to feel okay and at peace because at least there is someone who scored the same as he.
As they are still talking, someone from the back shouts,"There is nobody in the class who had more than thirty!
Oooh!He now becomes more relaxed and okay because he enjoys the 'fellowship of all the others.
Now, we as Christians there is a standard that God has put for us.It is the Standard of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
If the majority of the people where you are do not embrace it, you must choose to be different.
Do not come to complacency with iniquity or be okay in fellowship with it.
You are of the Royal Priesthood and Yes you have to be peculiar.
Just because everyone is doing this and that, or is saying this and that doesn't mean you should do like them.
Your Life must first above all reflect your identity in Christ.
- Be different in your Speech;
- Be different in your dressing;
- Be different in your association's.
- Be Excellent; Be decent and smart;
- Chose to stand out from the crowd.
CHOSE THE WAY OF THE LORD.
