Christianity, Faith, Daddy Freeze: The Challenge Of Scorn Fell Flat -By Nneka Okumazie

Laughter is in high demand, and sometimes, scorn is a reason to laugh. It is possible to laugh loud because of deep emptiness, bitterness, insecurity, hate, or for deceit.

But such laughter is hardly sustainable – over time, except coupled with hate. The thing about sitting around, seeking the next mistake to laugh at is that it’s a low moment condition – regardless of status.

There is genuine Christianity. There are faithful Christians. There are those who have seen the Power of GOD in action. There are those with the gifts of the Spirit and there are those with the fruit of the Spirit.

Then, there are also all kinds of variations of Christianity, afoul of standards of Christ and in the Epistles. There are fake miracles too. There are diviners – posing as prophets. Prophets in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [2 Corinthians 11:13-14, For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.]

Issues with the fakes are sometimes used by critics as broad brush against true Christianity, But NO. They are not the same. True Christianity is of the LORD, the other is not.

Anyone can claim to be a Christian, but sin – any kind – is not approved of GOD. Yes, for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of GOD. But it is important to do away with sin, as much as possible – asking always for mercy and with the Blood of JESUS – so as to keep the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Devout Christianity is far less common than nominal Christianity. There are those who know their GOD, who are strong and do exploits. It is possible to hear Christ but not know Him.

There are personal experiences that those who know GOD are so sure of and cannot be convinced otherwise. [Luke 8:54, And He put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.]

There is a lot of genuine Christianity in watching and in praying. Anyone or voice suggesting any kind of sin, or any act or thought against the Word of GOD, is not of GOD. No matter how tempting it is, or how it seems necessary. [Genesis 39:9, [There is] none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against GOD?]

GOD never gives sin as the opportunity for promotion. Yes, things can be rough, there can be pressure, the mind or flesh could thirst, and shame might be looming, but NO to sin is the expectation of the LORD.

No Pastor anywhere is a standard for Christianity. JESUS is the Author and the Finisher of the Faith. There are acts within the boundaries of the Word of GOD, and the symbolic of Faith in Him that true Pastors can do and recommend, but JESUS must be the message and to GOD must be the glory. [Acts 4:13, Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with JESUS.]

The Power of GOD can raise the dead. There are examples in the Scriptures and there some miracles heard around the world. GOD can do anything He wants. [Psalm 115:3, But our GOD in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.]

There are powers not of GOD, but used in the world. There are examples of strange spiritualties in the Scriptures. But genuine Christians should always put on the whole armor of GOD against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high [places].

The Power of GOD is never for show. It is always available for use by His people – with total humility. Christ is more concerned about Salvation, repentance, eternal life, baptisms, pure heart and holiness.

Not always miracles – He also taught people and lived by example, not money, etc. Money is physical, money ornaments. Availability of money is rarely hidden. Money pushes, brings confidence and tells to go. But genuine Salvation is spiritual. Lots of what it does is not always seen – though behavior changes. But the mind too is renewed, clean and sound.

Bitterness, wickedness, evil, envy, [secret] plot, unknown intentions, deceit, greed, etc. are not always physical, or immediately physical. But can be dangerous, affecting resources, science, technology, politics, economy, psychology, etc.

Many might rate money above love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, but money cannot solve adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.

The Power of GOD is also for total repentance, which until anyone sees Christ in Glory, must continue to grow.

Genuine Christianity cannot be crushed. Jesus Christ, the Humble Example, who allowed Himself to die, already had the last laugh scores of years ago. [Acts 10:40, Him GOD raised up the third day, and shewed Him openly;] [Acts 10:41, Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of GOD, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead.]
