2 Corinthians 6:14(Be ye not unequally
yoke together with unbelievers: for what hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what
concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an
infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are
temples of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them and walk in
them; and I will be their God and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come
out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty).
A call to
Christianity is a call to live a life of separation from the world and become
one with God Almighty. Christianity is a lifestyle; it means living like
Christ. So to be a genuine Christian one has to study Jesus and live like him;
Christ is our perfect example and our mirror in which we look upon and
transform into the same image like him. Jesus Christ himself said that we will
be like him if we do what he commanded us to do and his Father will accept us
and love us the same way he loves him (John 14:21). Hebrews 12:2(Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God). Our Christian journey is to take us to the
right hand of the throne of God; and to make our journey easy, the LORD has
sent us his Spirit to guide and help us fulfill our own part of the covenant of
separation. Our eyes are to be fixed on Jesus who is our shepherd and desire to
be transformed into his perfect image. 2 Corinthians 3:18(But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image from glory to glory, even by the Spirit of the Lord).
You may ask, but Nene, how? It is very simple; Jesus Christ is the word of God
and He said the word he speaks to us is life and spirit (John 1:1-3 and
John 6:63). So, the more we look into his word of liberty the more we
look like him and the Spirit of liberty will separate us permanently from the
bondage of the world. 2 Corinthians 3:17(Now the Lord is that Spirit: and
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty). The power that you
need in order to be able to separate yourself permanently from the world is
already deposited in you at new birth because it is not by your power not by
might but by the Spirit of God (John 1:12 and Zechariah 4:6). A
Covenant is an agreement between two or more people sealed with an oath. The
term of this covenant of fatherhood between us and God which we entered into
when we give our life to Christ has been analyzed in our anchor scripture above
2(Corinthians 6:14-18). You can’t have God in you and still be
dancing or flirting with the world; it is an abomination; as soon as you give
your life Christ you enter into the covenant of separation and you have to
fulfill your own part of the covenant for you to be able to called God your
Father. He even said among His flocks that He will still separate cattle from
cattle; so the judgment is starting from His own flock. One may say, God is my
Father and yet he will continue to behave like the son or daughter of Belial.
In the book of (Ezekiel 34:1-31) He promised to separate us
to Himself, and give us a shepherd, and to be our God, and to keep us safe away
from the wolf and beast of the field. He fulfilled that promise when He sent
His only begotten son Jesus Christ as our shepherd. Jesus said that His sheep
know him and he knows them and also said that his sheep will not follow the
voice of a stranger(John 10:1-10), so if you are still making yourself one with
the world that means you are no longer his sheep and you are vulnerable to the
beast of the field. But that will not be your portion in Jesus name. The bible
did not say you should live a life of loneliness, not talking to your loved
ones or friends who are still in the world; He said you should not be like
them; that instead of them pulling you back into darkness; they should rather
be attracted to the light that you are carrying. He is saying you should
separate yourself and work on your light so that it can shine enough to attract
others to Him. Jesus ate food in the house of a sinner and converted him; he
did not become a sinner and that’s exactly how he wants us to live; but it
takes maturity to get there. You will get there in Jesus name; the Gentile will
come into your light and you will not go back to your vomit in Jesus name. The
decision to be separated is yours to make, that’s why He said be ye separate
and He will be your Father and you will be His son and daughter. I don’t know
your situation right now but one thing I know; that this message is for you, in
case you are tired of struggling alone and you need a Father to lead and guide
you through your journey. Take a bold step today by accepting Jesus Christ as
your Lord and savior and be among his flock.
Lord
Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me
my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan
to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I
know I am Born Again, Amen.
