Walk your talk(walk the talk)

I just came back from my church sunday service.It's a special day for we the member's of Holy Ghost Anglican Church,Aba,Abia state,Nigeria.Today is for appreciating our church leader,The Rev. Canon Manasses Okere,his family and ministry.This man of God is a visionary and noble man.He is a mentor i admire a lot.Being his protege has really blessed my life.A story told by the sermoner touched me so much and that's what made me to leave my tight schedule to blog about it.He told us a story about someone who preached the gospel of christ in the bus and after the preaching some thieves inside the bus ordered the driver to stop and when they finish robbing the bus they ordered the preacher to step out,one of the robbers asked the preacher to confess that Jesus Christ is a fool.This preacher was shaking and very afraid.They told her once she proclaims that, they will leave her,if not they'll kill her.This preacher said/confessed that Jesus Christ is a foolish man and the thief shot her to death saying that Jesus Christ is not a fool(even evil people know that Christ is not a fool and can never be).Now this woman is dead,she lost heaven from what we know.Oh! she denied the man(Jesus Christ) she talks about at the most crucial time.Many of us are also guilty like this preacher.When we are tempted we succumb without surmounting the challenge.I know it's not easy most atimes but we should try to match our words(talk) with our walk and work. Lesson: we should always endeavor to stand up for what we believe.Anyone that saves his/her life for the sake of Christ will loose it,but anyone that looses his/her life for for the sake of Christ will regain it. Action plan:Make up your mind to defend and proclaim the risen Christ Jesus.It's for your own goodness and betterment. Benefits:If you walk your talk,you'll be a person of good character and integrity;an exemplary. PRAYER: Lord give us the wisdom,knowledge,understanding and strength to prevail at all times and in all things. Remain under the shadow of the almighty God.
