AS A CHRISTIAN,WHAT SHOULD BE MY FOCUS?

                                   ‘Christian’ is one who follows Christ.’ To follow’ means ‘to obey the commands of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ himself has clearly spoken about this in John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command”  Once you start obeying his commands you become his ‘disciple’. Your character slowly becomes “Christ-like’ ,full of love for others, compassion, forgiveness, justice ,sin-free etc. When you become a ‘full disciple’ you become a ‘walking Jesus’ in the eyes of people around you.

                       Now at this point, you become eligible to ‘make disciples of nations’ as commanded in Matt 28:20.It may be noted that  Jesus never asked anyone to’preach’ the gospel anywhere in the gospel,but only ‘practise’it .So, as Christians, our focus should be  more to become Christ-like . But now-a-days, most of the people  are driven towards prophesies, visions, deliverance, fasting prayer, blessings etc more than becoming a real Christian inside. Jesus Christ never emphasized on those things. Often ’ men of God’ is focused more than God! Praying to God for yourself is not encouraged. ‘Praying for others’ is become a organized system. People are not driven towards God, but towards’ men of God’.  Jesus Christ clearly said in John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me”. Here, He has made it clear that He is the only mediator between man and God. So, my dear Brothers and sisters, let us focus more on becoming Christ like than going after blessings, signs, wonders etc .All these will happen in time  when the Lord wants it to happen in our life!
