Going to school to study doesn't make me a student anymore than going to a prison makes me a prisoner.
Going to church doesn't make me a Christian anymore than going to a garage makes me a mechanic.
It's not what I DO or GO (e.g. teaching in a class, marking scripts, setting exams, praying, reading the Bible, going for Church meetings) that defines who I am!
It's who I am (e.g. In Christ, I am the light of the world, the salt of the earth, the ambassador for Christ) that defines what I do!
My actions spring forth from my identity, not the other way round!
This makes a big difference cos it sets me free from religious duties and mundane routines and it allows me to live my life the way it should be!
If you see yourself as a learner all your life, studying is a natural thing you would do! it's so obvious but yet I often misunderstand it and live my life the wrong way!
let's get back on the right track in the right direction!
God allows U-turns all the time!
hope all of us will learn of tis msg.
CHEERS and take care.
