LIVING A LIFE OF DOUBLE STANDARDS
Hebrews 4:13
“13 And not a creature
exists that is concealed from His (God’s) sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the
eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.”
In Church everyone knows you as a sincere, straightforward Christian
Believer. At the workplace, they know you as an alcoholic, womanizer, liar, and
compromiser of Bible standards.
In your neighbourhood, you are also known as a trouble maker who cannot
be trusted with funds meant for community projects.
However, you are quick to criticise the politicians who are not living
up to public expectation.
Dear friend, do you know anyone that fits this description? I know many
would readily have someone or people that come to mind but this article is not
about them.
This is about the fellow who professes Christianity, follower of Christ
Jesus the Lord but whose lifestyle of double standards brings dishonour to the Name
of Jesus Christ.
You may think you can fool humans but be certain that you cannot fool
God. Wherever you are, God is watching. He knows. He sees. He hears. God is
Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent.
Every now and then we hear someone is killed and the killer is never
found. That situation is for human beings but certainly not for God because God
knows who did it.
The spouse who dips his or her hands into the partner’s pocket to take
money without consent is seen by God.
The little child who opens the mother’s pot of soup to take a piece of
meat without consent is seen by God.
The worker who embezzles company funds, manipulates figures to cover up
or even goes as far as setting the company building ablaze is seen by God.
God sees the politician who plans and accomplishes the assassination of
his political opponents.
The adulterous husband or adulterous wife is seen by God. The student
who engages in examination malpractice is seen by God.
The parents whose daughter becomes pregnant for a man and to cover up
take her for an abortion are seen by God.
The doctor, nurse or laboratory technician who extracts a patient’s
blood sample and then takes it to his or her witchcraft coven is seen by God.
God sees the occultic group that offer their blood relatives as
sacrifice from time to time to renew their covenant with satan for political
positions, for fame or money.
The neighbour who steals and takes the fellow neighbour’s garment to a
voodoo priest to conjure spells and cause malicious damage is seen by God.
Does God not see the driver who siphons the owner’s fuel from the
vehicle to sell? Does God not see the kidnapper, the extortionist law
enforcement officer, the bribe taking judge who perverts justice to the highest
bidder?
Does God not see the pimp who arranges university female students as
call girls for men old enough to be their fathers?
What is it then that someone wants to do that God cannot see? Even if
you commit adultery or fornication in the darkest room, God sees it as clear as
daylight. This is evident from His Word in Psalm 139:12, “Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the
day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You. “
Dear friend, it is simply a waste of time to live a double life if you
are a Christian.
It is a waste of time to live in sin if you are not yet a Christian
because Jesus hates sin but still loves you and wants you to repent and return to
Him before it is too late.
As you read this piece, today is that day and now is the moment of
decision, for tomorrow or later may be too late to come to Christ.
Come now, while Jesus is calling you. I can assure you that He has all
you will ever need in this life, no matter how dirty you think you have become.
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and
share with others in Jesus’ Merciful Name, Amen.
Gabriel Ama.
