Targets on Your Back

Titus 2:1-15

We as Believers in Christ and Followers of Christ have eyes on us. Regardless of who you are, people will always try to find out what you believe. What advice you follow. What makes you tick. Enemies will use this against you, friends will want to become more like you. If you are leading by the right accordance, then there should be no reason to initially tell anyone how to become better without showing them first. People should be able to see Christ work in you and ask you how does He work through you.

Men and Women of Christ must be leaders in the their areas of expertise. We are all created with many gifts and talents that allow us to work efficiently. Efficient work ethic with a humble spirit, and positive energy intrigues many people. When anyone approaches you about your mannerisms, take that chance to approach them about the Glory of God and all that He has done and is continuing to do in your life. Many may not agree. Many may slander our Lord's name. That's not for us as Christians to become upset-we cannot control what the Gospel of Christ brings out in our peers.

Today you may not notice, but there are eyes upon your back and ears tuned into your direction. Ulterior motives may be plotted on us and we may very well be in the crosshairs of those who want to tear us apart. There may be those who love us, who always wanted to meet us. There are people who try, but fail adamantly trying to place a finger on or tear down what pushes us the extra mile. This "push" is from our Savior, our Lord.

Make sure you as a believer are going this extra mile. God has allowed you to influence more than one crowd of people. Do not be afraid; live as you are called and do your best. Be willing and temperamental. Self control will keep you in tact. The fruits of your spirit will entice others to want to try it for themselves.

Have a blessed day!
