The Christian race is an individual marathon race. On the primary level, someone' s growth can not affect another person. When we are in church and we see brothers and sisters jumping up and squatting while sharing revs, we must also know that the real person is not the one holding the microphone.
I was a fresh undergraduate when I became a Christian and before the first year was over, I had been made a leader in several Christian organizations. All through my stay on campus, I was always holding one or two leadership positions. People always assume that their leader is a strong person and this makes it easy for a pretender to remain a pretender.
A leader can come up stage and share things he barely knows about. He may just be a head full of scriptures, but does not have the scriptures in his life. I have always found Grace to open up to God so that I can be helped. Several people may not know about the struggles of their leader, but the Lord knows.
Every Christian must know that our Christian race is firstly personal and you must be sincere with God in your conversations with Him. I don't take confessions when am talking to God, I tell Him what my experiences have been and how I long to live the greater life of Christ. I am not a leader when am with Him.
I may not know how hard it can be for some others to be sincere with God, but I have found a great deal of strength in it. Opening up to God have always been the password that opens up new realms to me. Thank God He is a high priest that is touched by the feelings of my infirmities.
Sincerity is a strong point of call in your individual walk. Don't deceive yourself,tell Him what is happening so that you can be helped.
This is the first of the seven things I will be sharing about my 7-years journey in Christ
