1 Peter 4:2KJV
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to
the lusts of men, but to the will of God
What is Christianity? It’s what Paul defined by saying
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in
me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself for me......Galatians 2:20KJV”
Christianity means you died. The old you died with all his lust, dreams, aspirations
and ambitions. The one presently living in you is Christ hence His ambition has
become your ambition, His dream has become your dream; His spiritual longings
have become your longings. It doesn’t matter whether you go to church, always
singing songs to God, quoting Scriptures here and there if your life is not built on
this foundation, you have not truly started out living the Christian life.
There are different kinds of Christians. There are those whose lives are focused on
dreams and aspirations of life and they do their best to fit the things of the
Kingdom into that context.
Such folks erroneously misinterpret Scriptures to back their way of living.
They will quote Scriptures like,
“A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his
delight...Proverbs 11:1KJV”
What do they mean by this? That God wants them to balance their natural life
with the Kingdom life. Such sensually minded Christians mislead other Christians
with their wrong understanding and misinterpretation of the Scriptures.
The problem is that the Scripture above has a different meaning and import from
the private interpretation they give to it. Lets just look at the same Scripture from
the Amplified version
“A false balance and dishonest business practices are extremely offensive to
the LORD,But an accurate scale is His delight....Proverbs 11:1AMP”
While that Scripture speaks to being honest and not cheating when it comes to
your dealings with other men, they take God’s Word to say what He was never
saying.
Child of God, Christianity is not about balancing your natural life with the
Kingdom life. Christianity is all about the Kingdom plans and purposes.
Your state of mind for living should be exactly like that of Jesus when He walked
on this earth.
Jesus ate, He attended banquets, He even did some carpentry works but the Lord’s
state of mind was about the things of the Kingdom, everything the Kingdom work.
His dreams and ambitions were about God’s cause, His will and purposes.
His life was all about the Kingdom and all other things were put in the context of
the Kingdom work. This is the true meaning of Christianity, the life you have
inherited.
You may be a banker, always see yourself as the agent of the Kingdom of Heaven
even at the banking hall and put rather the banking in the context of the Kingdom
Work. That is see everything you do as a channel for advancing the Kingdom.
Don’t make your life about vain and empty things. Don’t pride yourself in being a
doctor, pharmacist, entrepreneur, politician etc etc. These are all temporal and
vain. If you think life is about money, go and talk to King Solomon in that part of
the universe that he is and hear his response. If you think life is about careers, go
and talk to the lawyers, the entrepreneurs, politicians, doctors and nurses who
came before you and have passed on from this life.
The same way man comes into this world alone, he goes alone. Have you seen
anyone who died and went together with his wife or husband? Live life rightly,
don’t make it about you but Jesus
