Dear Children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions” I John 3:18 (NLT)
Practice what you preach” is a common phrase used by many to mean speak and act in unison. When you live “ contrary to what you preach, your words will have no effect. You may be unaware but there are people watching and observing your lifestyle.
Your complaint or anger at people’s behavior may not change their actions
but if your lifestyle is pure, reverent and godly, you can turn them over for good. This boils down to the truth that actions are more practical and can overtake words to a great extent. Be conscious of the fact that as a Christian, you often times find yourself surrounded by people who may be friends, colleagues, acquaintances that consciously watch and study your life style to see if what you preach equates to how you act.
Christianity does not end with having a vast knowledge of the word of God but is hinged on your practice of the principles of the word of God that you know. Let your actions and way of life be true to the word of God. Let them speak for you when words fail. Your godly life can attract many to the kingdom of God, it can calm situations in unpleasant circumstances. Clothe yourself with godliness, purity and reverence so that you can win many over and draw them to the kingdom of God.
PRAYER: Lord, guide my actions; help me to live a pure and godly life to draw multitudes to your kingdom in Jesus name.
FAITH BYTE: My ways and actions are true to the word of God, I practice what I preach
