Be The Difference! Part 4

By

by Julius King Kwedhi

"Lot lived right and was greatly troubled by the terrible way those wicked people were living. He was a good man, and day after day he suffered because of the evil things he saw and heard. So the Lord rescued him."
(2 Peter 2:7 CEV)
We are called to be the difference in this world, to be the salt and the light of the earth. But we cannot do that if our mind is set on the things of this world, to please it in its lustful pleasures and pomp. This world is evil, Church. So, let us be the difference. Be the Lot in this Sodom and Gomorrah of today. Remember Lot? That gentleman served God in his generation, although the glitter of the pleasures of this world lead him to those evil cities. Though he was short-sighted and could not see what lay beyond the green grass and streams of water that invited his proud eyes, he nevertheless remained faithful to the Lord His God. He remained the only righteous man in Sodom and Gomorrah with his family, although his wife was so caught in the lure that burned behind her and also perished with it for turning back despising the command of the angels to not turn back.

"Lot lived right and was greatly troubled by the terrible way those wicked people were living. He was a good man, and day after day he suffered because of the evil things he saw and heard. So the Lord rescued him."
(2 Peter 2:7 CEV)

Lot lived through the Pompeii, Hollywood and Vegas of his day and refused to give in. He refused to change his mindset concerning marriage and homosexuality. He refused to give up his disposition concerning modesty. He refused to surrender his way of thinking to idol worship. Lot refused to "understand" and agree with the abortionists that abortion is not a problem.

"Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it."" (Genesis 18:32 ESV)

If Lot was the only righteous man in his city, refused to give up his mind and rather chose to please God, and the Lord Jehovah later rescued him from the judgement that was coming, I also refuse to be changed by this world. I refuse to conform to the patterns of this world. I refuse to believe the lies of this world. I refuse to be deceived by the sweet talk that this world has to offer. I refuse.

If Lot could decide to be different from the culture that surrounded him and he literally persevered and pleased God, I also decide to be different from the culture of this generation. I know, and I have seen and have heard of people who tried this and that, and some, by God's grace and mercy, later realized their folly and turned back confessing "Nope, I do not want this and that anymore. I am going to change." Others, however, never changed and were destroyed. I for one refuse altogether to either try this or that. I have decided to be different from this generation and its culture.

Further Scripture Reading:

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him."
(Romans 8:5-9 ESV)

2 Masters

2 Masters Deut. 18:14  -  'For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.   One of the main reasons Saints of God today are not being blessed is because they are serving 2 masters. And when I say blessed, I'm not talking about money! Atheists, agnostics, homosexuals, luciferians, etc. all can have money without being blessed of God, so get that out of your head. We have been programmed to hear the word blessing and automatically reach in our wallets and pockets, but working will get you money. God does not have to shovel out cash because he doesn't have cash, men do! So, work and you will havemoney! But when I say blessing, I'm talking about, your children being free from the devils strongholds, your marriage being sound and loving, your home being free from witchcraft, your possessions being safe from robbers and ...

Be The Difference! Part 1

By
by King Julius Kwedhi "You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers." 1 Thessalonians 2:10 ESV We have often heard it said "You can take the boy out of the village, but it will surely prove hard to take the village out of him." But this sounds different to how you usually hear it, isn't it? You are used to hearing it thus "You can take the boy out of the village but you cannot take the village out of him." But the second part of this popular quote is not true because you can take the village out of the boy. But if the boy is making this as his bold declaration that you cannot take the village out of him, then know that you won't. But the mistake we make is this, we limit this principle to the village boy or jungle man scenario only. How about if we apply this same principle to the Church? How about if we, as the Church, make this our bold and confident declaration: "You c...
