Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. – John 4:4( KJV).
What are others saying about you? We have a number of preachers that talk about the gospel of Christ but whose behavior are opposite. There was a woman that someone was preaching to but she was not yielding; and one day, she was asked why she was so obstinate. Her answer was simple; she said I see elders in your church who come to me to ask for falsified invoices in order to get more money from their spouses!
She then stated sarcastically, if that is what a Christian is then I do not want to be one! While the word of God is quite clear that we should look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, we should recognize that the actions and inactions of fellow Christians actually preach the gospel more.
What then are we doing to ensure that we do not send the wrong signal to the unbelievers? This is not limited to us alone but also to our fellow brethren. We need to prayerfully correct all those who are professing to be Christians but are not living the life of Christ. We should all remember that a chain is as strong as its weakest link.
And people are looking for signs and wonders before they could believe. John 4:48(KJV). says Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe”.
People are not only looking for signs and wonders but also the lifestyle of brethren as that showcases a life of Christ. So let’s ensure our lives show signs and marks of a true Christian.
Prayer: Father, help me to live a life that show cases your signs and works in my life. Let my life attract others to your Kingdom in Jesus name.
