Live blameless as a mirror

 

Text:  1 Timothy 3:2-3(KJV)

A Bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous.

 Friends, there is a call to live blameless which requires the strength of God as to walk in integrity and sincerity before God and man. It makes us to stand out as a mirror in every generation. It is a quality that brings us to a place of election and honour by reflecting Christ even when no one is watching. So, from the scripture above, there is an outlined qualification for any good work.  Hence, living blameless is not the absence of fault but is being quick to make amends and pick constructive corrections and feedback. Remember, we can live a transparent life in the energy of His fear and not by our flesh. Job 1:1 - There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Yes, we are in a society full of compromise, but we can live blameless by living conscious of God's presence. Gen 6:9 Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. But, it requires a guide through His Word and an empowerment by the Holy Spirit.  You can choose to mark yourself with uprightness today.

However, we can refuse to conform in the world standard as to live blameless which requires a walk with truth and right living. So, we must shine as light even in this perverse generation. Philippians 2:15 -That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.  Therefore, let’s live without moral compromise and spiritual dryness to stagnation in our journey of purpose. It is possible to live spotless and innocent just as we surrender to God, guide our thoughts into actions and be accountable to His grace. The Lord will help us in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Heavenly father, help us to carry God’s nature and lifestyle which is without spot and wrinkle as we reflect Christ by a renewed heart in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, it is not a call for perfection rather consistency with God.
