TO THIS WE ARE CALLED - BEEN CHRISTLIKE.

(Christ-Like)

Many times am been asked why do I have so much tolerance for those who do bad against me. People back bite, they call you names, they gossip about you, they sell you out, they conspire against you but you still love and keep them.

God has called us to be LIKE HIM not in how we look or dress only but THE CONTENT OF OUR HEARTS, HOW WE TREAT OTHERS AND OUR DAILY CONDUCTS AND SPEECH should reflect the GOD THAT LIVES IN US. Some look godly outwardly but inwardly they still carry the ADAMIC NATURE AND IT'S CONDUCTS.

1 Peter 3:9-10 (NIV)

9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For,
“Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.

when people insult you smile to their face and say God bless you. When they gossip about you go on your knees and with all your heart ask the blessing of God to rain on them. I know this gospel am teaching today it's the unusual but I've tried it there's this amazing presence and glory that comes when you pray such prayers it's like God comes down and reveals HIMSELF TO YOU. Try it.

Romans 12:14 (NIV)
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Let your speech be seasoned with grace, bless them that persecute you. Even the ones that talk lies and do all sorts of evil release blessings. You know you are becoming like CHRIST when you do such. When we can do that we have reached perfection.
Matthew 5:43-48 (NIV)

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Let us grow unto perfection just as our GOD is a perfect GOD. Let the nature of Adam die completely in the hearts of Christians and let the divine nature with its fruits come alive!!! Let the true church arise and all worldly conducts die!! Let the church be as God is and let envy strive gossip lies and all worldly conducts be cut off. Let us be mindful of Christ and the WORD not busy bodies looking for our next gossip topic, let's build each other up by the word instead of been fault finders let's meet to pray for one another not to slander people. let's build godly relationships.

Let the church be different from the world. Don't come to tell me gossip let's talk about the word let's teach each other how to grow spiritually. Heaven is real and he'll is real and God's judgment will start with the church. Let's help to build each other not bring each other down. That's what been Christlike is all about.

Let the true church arise and take HER PLACE.
