WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Beware of Compromise!

Hi.
¸¸.•*¨*Many who were once in fire for the Lord Jesus, who never failed to fellowship with God and people of God, read and meditate on God's Word diligently, served Him with gladness are today lost in this world, backslidden or lukewarm in their faith.
¸¸.•*¨* In a desire to have the worldly riches, enjoy it's pleasures, get name, fame one often tends to compromise on the things of the Kingdom and Christ is no longer their 1st love or priority.
It's sad they chose to compromise and defiled themselves.
Psalm 119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the LORD! 2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!
3 They also do no iniquity;
They walk in His ways.
4 You have commanded us
To keep Your precepts diligently.
5 Oh, that my ways were directed
To keep Your statutes!
6 Then I would not be ashamed,
When I look into all Your commandments.
7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
8 I will keep Your statutes;
Oh, do not forsake me utterly!
¸¸.•*¨* We need to hold lightly to the things of this World and tightly to the things of the Kingdom.
If we get friendly with the world, we slowly start to love it, enjoy it's company and then end up being condemned with it.
¸¸.•*¨* No more compromising.
We can't follow God and the world at the same time.
Compromise begins when we choose not to listen to God's

voice and make a decision against the life of faith. When we fail to heed God's warning, we tend to stray the wrong path.
¸
¸¸.•*¨* Compromise comes in inches.
Small attractions and distraction may slowly draw us away from God.
Compromise always ends in destruction.

¸¸.•*¨* God is not pleased with those lukewarm in their faith either.
Rev 3: 15 "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
¸¸.•*¨* Lukewarm believers don't dare to take a stand for JESUS. They want to please their worldly friends, flirt a bit with the world, don't want to be identified as 'Kingdom people' when with the worldly crowd. These half hearted, lukewarm believers eventually become 'in name only Christian' who is finally ends up doing nothing for JESUS.
¸¸.•*¨* Life without Jesus can become meaningless. God has called us to be the light in the dark world.
Time to rise up and shine!!
Even as the world gets filthier and filthier, God expects us to be Holier and Holier.
It's not easy to walk towards holiness but it's not impossible for God will help us. The one who called us is faithful!

¸¸.•*¨* Let's not follow Christ half way. Let us let the Holy Spirit light up the passion within our hearts to serve God whole heartedly, with love; passion for our Savior; let's not be ashamed to stand up & be identified as children of the 'Kingdom of light. ‘We are here on earth to do our Heavenly Father's business. We are 'CHRIST'S AMBASSADOR'S' here on earth. Let's make our Heavenly Father proud. Let's lift His name on high. It's high time we let the world know, see, we belong to Him.
 Matthew 5:16, "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
Be blessed..
