Generosity.
Writing, Journaling and Remembrance.For any Christian to perform at their peak spiritual potential or peak spiritual capability, they must exercise all seven of these muscles daily!
We look at The Christian Checklist.
What is the Christian Checklist? Well think about pilots, it doesn’t matter how many years they have been flying, they must go through a specific curated checklist before take-off.
Likewise as Christian believers., it’s now more important than ever to become methodical in our Christian walk with our Heavenly-Abba-Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pail warned us of the perilous times in these last days when he told Timothy in 2 Tim 3 that;
“But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].”
Likewise, Peter warned all believers around the world when he said; “...Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour…”
As the battle for souls comes down to the wire (Jesus fighting to redeem souls and satan fighting to take as many with him down to hell), the heat of this battle is only going to intensify and as Christians, we don’t want to be caught in any crossfire…
Paul tells us in Eph 6:13; “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
We need to start approaching every day with a soldier mindset - we should approach every day out in the world as going out into the battlefield.
In comes ‘The Christian Checklist’, just like you take your car for a routine service-check up at the mechanic and they do maintenance checks against a standard checklist, Christian believers should be tuning up the different areas of their lives, depending on your weaknesses and strengths.
Some areas might call for a daily tune-up while others might suffice with a bi-weekly tune-up. Nonetheless, Christians need to be armoured up in each area of their lives because being strong in one area of the Faith can sometimes leave you open to attack through another area and we definitely can’t afford this in these perilous times.
We don’t want to give our adversary any opening whether it be through our physical health, emotional health, purity, finances, love walk with God, family, brethren, authority etc.
Use The Christian Checklist as a tool to tune-up and service your Believers Walk of Faith.
