Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
Pastor Ellie and I were talking today. I was sharing with her about some things that I had seen had been done by some Christians that were really not godly at all, but rather hateful.
This particular group of believers had made some very derogatory statements about a nation and its people.
She asked me “how can they be Christians and still think like that?”. I pondered on it for a moment and I heard God say “because there is still a part of them that they have not surrendered to Me yet”.
And so it is with so many of us. We follow Christ and we live our lives as believers… Christians. But there are still little pieces of our lives that we haven’t given over to God and allowed Him to touch or change.
Think about some of the things that we see some Christians continue to do for years after they become followers of Christ and are washed in His blood.
Racism, sexual immorality, drunkenness, thievery, dishonesty and the list can go on. You see, if we are still engaging in these things habitually, on a regular basis, it’s only because we have refused to let God change that part of us.
So we challenge you today to let God check you. Let Him peek into the deepest, darkest recesses of your heart and show you what’s there.
And then let Him touch you there and begin to root that evil thing out of you once and for all.
There’s not a single one of us who doesn’t have something that we have held onto, and today’s a good day to let it go, in the name of Jesus.
