‘Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved human praise more than praise from God. ‘
John 12:42-43
What are you scared of?
The opinions of others?
Or is it rejection?
We all want to be accepted.
Mainly by people that don’t know us well.
The issue is.
We fear man.
Instead of God.
I’ve been told by many.
Leave that “God talk” alone.
Or “Keep it to yourself”.
Nobody had an issue with me.
When I posted pictures of myself.
Or when I posted about sports.
As soon as I started posting about God or Jesus.
That’s when the persecution came.
Look my friends.
If you continue to cater to the opinions of others.
You will never be free.
I know you believe in Jesus.
I know you want to do God’s will.
But how are you helping others?
By not sharing it with them.
Why doesn’t the world know about your story?
Your testimony?
Why?
So you can keep your job or position?
The same one that God sent you too.
Stop giving man all this credit.
Stop fearing their threats.
And start recognizing the power of the God we serve!
Scripture says:
‘ “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. ‘
Matthew 10:32-33
The choice is yours.
Keep living in fear.
Or stand up and serve God boldly!
I love you!
And I pray your day is blessed!
