The world if fast changing and the order of doing things are also changing. Similarly, christians and many other people are facing very difficult times of economic collapes, family problems, pay cuts, disappointments in relationships, massive marriage divorce, even the abolishment of 'bible knowledge' in schools, and many others. In the midst of these problems, many christians in their attempt to solving the problems have resorted to what I have termed face Lifting. Do you need help? Is your faith diminishing these days?
As a christian, have you being praying these days for a job, for marriage, or maybe for a favor from someone or simply a breakthrough? Such worldly pressures have compelled many children of God to change their real inner image to what does not really show their true nature.
Have you soon given in to the sexual demand of your boyfriend just to save the relationship? That is not your nature if Christ truly lives in you.Have you soon accepted going out with a married man just to help you secure a job?
Have you changed your way of dressing just to entice or attract some attension?
Are you content with what you have or you will do anything to impress others?
Are you planning to end it all? Maybe you are fed-up.
Do you feel like fainting?
Face - Lifting can only change your physical appearance for a short time but Faith - Lifting will bring that inner and eternal change that you desire.
Look at Joseph, though he had an opportunity to face lift his image by having an affair with his master's wife, preferred to keep his God-given image (his dream) by fleeing that temptation. Genesis 39:12-14. This young man rather lifted his faith and God preserved his dream of becoming a prime minister.
He refused to be face - lifted. What about you, are you leaving your real life?
HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
As christians of this dispensation, we do not need a "face lift" to enhance our lives. Instead, in all situation that we find ourselves, we must endeavour to have faith in God. In Mark 11:22, "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God." The aim of the devil is distort your faith in God and to make change the plan of God for your life.
Matthew 6:31-33"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
It is your faith in God that will bring you to your desire. Refuse to be face-lifted by the pressures of life and the schemes of the devil and have faith in God. Amen.
