LIKE CHRIST

I once saw a movie titled “like Mike”. The idea was about a boy who loved to play basketball, he found a pair of sneakers with the initials “MJ”inscribed within and in no time he put his faith in the sneakers and you can imagine what happened from there, he not only became like Mike, he played in the company of pros.

In the movie, the boy put his faith in the sneakers, making the object of his faith “MJ” and the product of his faith became being like mike .Similarly, when we walk with God, there is a need to make JESUS the object of our faith. Only then can righteousness become the product of our faith.

Alot of time, we use activities to depict good fellowship with God, but I’ve come to understand that it is possible to do the masters work and still not know him. It will be good to have a struggle free christian life, I call it struggle reduced because it’s almost impossible to be a growing Christian and not have one thing or the other you are working on putting away.

Remember the bible says “he that claims to be without sin is a liar and does not have the spirit of God”. So a struggle reduced life will be eminent in a life propelled by faith in God and not in the things we possess.

Finally, take out some time regularly and remind yourself that except the Lord build a house, he that works, build in vain. (Emphasis on except the Lord builds). Let knowing God be the center of your relationship with him and righteousness becomes a lifestyle and not a seasonal clique.

That’s how to be LIKE CHRIST.
