The Signs that Define and Defile Church Folks

There are two types of Christians living in our world today – they are either Worthy or Worldly Christians. Though, they all claimed to be Christians but not everybody that calls Christ Lord, preaching in His name or performing miracle in His name is actually following Him because of Him.

If the similarities of these two groups of Christians, such as reading the Bible, going to church regularly, attending Christian programmes, fellowshipping with other Christians – and even witnessing to unbelievers, are considered; you might not be able to decipher their true colour but when you thoroughly check the motives behind their actions, you will be able to interpret their true identities.

Worldly Christians seek God primarily for personal fulfillment.

They are saved, but self-centered.

They love to attend Christian concerts and enrichment seminars, but never a mission conference because they aren't interested.

Their prayers and fasting focus majorly on their own needs, blessings, and happiness; it is immaterial whe     ther they are pastors, deacons or floor members in church.

They are generally selfish because of their "me-first" type if faith.

Their probing question is: How can God make my life more comfortable?

Worldly Christians only want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for His purposes.  

Worthy Christians know they were saved to serve.

They know they are made for a mission.

They are eager to receive a personal assignment.

They are excited about the privilege of being used by God.

Worthy Christians are the only fully alive people on the planet – their joy, confidence, and enthusiasm are contagious because they know they're making a difference.

They wake up each morning expecting God to work through them in fresh ways.

They think more about God’s Kingdom than personal kingdom.

Which type of Christian do you want to be? You can either be a wealth-builder (worldly)  or kingdom builder (worthy).

Matthew 6:24 says, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
