Reflection Friday

“Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don’t drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it. I hope the test won’t show that we have failed. But if it comes to that, we’d rather the test showed our failure than yours.

We have come to the end of the week family. It is time for us to reflect and get our spiritual check up. The bible says you need first hand evidence that Jesus Christ is in you. When l read this l thought of how many people live anyhow and their defence is “God knows my heart.” The bible says there must be evidence of this “godly heart” , the issues of life that flow from your heart, your words, actions, lifestyle should prove that you are a Christian. Are you a Christian? If Christ stood side by side with me, would we be twins? Or will it be very clear that l “claim” to be like Him.

Today take sometime to sit and think carefully about these things:

• my mind

• my speech

• my actions

• how I relate to people

• obedience

• and many other things

Ask yourself this , Is Jesus Christ in me?
Examine yourself. Stop trying to meddle in other people’s affairs, the mirror is before YOU. This is not something you just carelessly engage in, meditate, be honest with yourself, find the blurred lines and ask Holy Spirit to help you. There’s a verse that always gets to me ;

“On the day of judgment many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, don’t you remember us? Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons and do many miracles in your name?’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭22‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Don’t think that because you’re in the field working, you’re guaranteed heaven. Serve. Labour. Do the works but remember to

Make sure you’re solid in the faith.
