” Don’t choose based on spirituality rather choose based on character”.
How did we get here?
If there is any one with a good character, that should be those who are led by the spirit; the so called “spiritual people”. Because, a spiritual person isn’t only someone who prays for many hours in tongues or wears a long gown from neck to toes. A spiritual person is one who is born again by the spirit, walks in the spirit and bears the fruits of the spirit. What are the fruits of the spirit again? Love, joy, peace kindness, forbearance, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control(Galatians 5:22-23). All these make up a good character.
We can’t keep on ignoring the fruit bearing aspect of spirituality that builds our character. By their fruits we shall know them(Mathew 7:20), so we can’t be religious and not have a good character. We got to be both.
We need to allow the prayer to change us, the word to transform us so that the work of salvation would be complete in us. It is quite disturbing that we don’t find good character in spiritual people. It’s about time we represent spirituality well.
We must show them that we pray for long in tongues, we study and speak the word of God, Yes! We are spiritual and have good character.
We can do better!
LIVING THE VALUED LIFE.
