Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 NIV
There are those people in our lives who we loved them, cared about them and shared many things in our daily basis. These people we used to have them but when we got to know the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, these people turned to be our enemies. They criticized our decision of accepting Jesus and rejected us for our faith.
Later because we missed those old special moments with these people, we started to compromise that we may get their love. We started assuming that even though we are saved but we can just to some stuff with these old friends, some habits were not bad to recall them once in a while and hence our Christian faith was under attack because we yoked together with unbelievers.
I have seen in my own life, doing some things in order that I may confirm with some friends or relatives who don't share the same faith with me. Later when I came to the word of God, I learnt that being a follower of Christ needs a sacrifice, it needs commitment and that you will not be able to please everyone and be a friend of all.
This morning, God wants you to know that you need to break every yoke with unbelievers in your life. If you had some friends who used to send you some photos,videos or even messages and emails which later hindered your walk with the Lord. You need to make them stop and focus on what the Lord has called you to do in your kingdom.
You need to carry your cross daily, and follow Jesus. Temptations will come, storm will hit your life and people will come and go; but if you will stand with the Lord, He will never let you go. He will strengthen you in your weakness, and deliver you in the day of trouble. God is faithful, He has called you for a purpose and He will lead you until the end.
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
Heavenly Father, I thank You for your Word. Lord I'm asking that You may forgive me for compromising all this time. Today give me new strength to overcome sin and every tactics of the evil one, that I may live a victorious life in this world. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
