Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 6 September 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche – Topic: How To Know A Christian
SCRIPTURE: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 7:20.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Authentic Christians are known by the positive fruit they bear.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
It has been confirmed that the Christian journey is a journey of character reformation and transformation. And since character is the roadmap to destiny, being a genuine Christian or child of God positions one on the pathway to destiny fulfilment.
This means, to have a solid destiny, you must possess quality and positive character.
Now, I would like you to take note of few key facts on character as far as Christianity is concerned.
i. The most significant impact of Christianity is character transformation.
Acts 11:26 says,
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
The most significant impact of being a Christian is not having a title or a church sticker; it is the transformation of character.
ii. Followers of Christ are known by their fruit or character, and not just by church attendance.
Authentic Christians are known by the positive fruit they bear.
Mathew 7:20 says,
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Duration of church attendance does not make a person an authentic Christian.
By the manifestation of character, you know who is a real Christian. One can be born in a church and not be a Christian.
The question is, what does your character reveal about you? What fruit is your life bearing? Can people say you are a Christian by the fruit you bear?
This is my counsel to you: pay attention to your character development. Make a conscious effort to follow the example of Christ Jesus, not just in word, but in lifestyle and attitude.
Remember this: Authentic Christians are known by the positive fruits they bear.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Make up your mind to be an authentic Christian.
- Make the development of your character a top priority of your life.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to bear godly and positive fruits. Help me to be a reflection of Your Image on the earth, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
