Follower or Visitor?

I once wrote something on my blog and people really loved it. I got many facebook messages telling me about that article I wrote there and how it helped them. I must say, I was happy when they told me that because I knew that it was God who spoke and now people are being blessed.

I then decided to view my blog and see if they have commented. '0 comments'. That's what I found. Why didn't they comment? It was because they did not follow me on my blog but are all the time reading my posts. Amazing! Then I asked why? “ I don't know how”, they said. Unbelievable! I have nothing against those people, really! I actually thank God for making them not to 'know how' because it leads us to today's topic:

We have many people who always claim to know God and as a matter of fact, they even understand well what the pastor was preaching about and the message was delivered to its exact meaning. Wow! They even share it among others and you can bet that they are in spirit. They appear to be good soil that the seed was planted in them and it gave ground to the plant and the plant grew.

Only to find out that they are considered as visitors in God's eyes. They are not followers. They did try to follow Him but it was not easy and they said ' I don't know how'. Who said following Jesus was easy, anyway? It isn't! They found it difficult to give up their old lives and be of God, to say no to their loved ones as they begin to say yes to God's will in their lives.

These people they have been in the church their whole lives believe me... but it is so hard for them to say, “ I will not give up till I get in”. We have to note that God has His own Blog as well where He writes everything for us and about us. This blog is the Book of Life! Even if we see that it is not easy for us to follow God because the circumstances limit us, maybe our level of education, lack of knowledge, or what ever, we must be I CAN driven.

Our strive must not to be visitors but to be followers of Christ in every way and in every hardship!

“The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels.” (Revelation 3:5)

God is not looking for your list of excuses but for your drive.

Stay Blessed!
