*The Difference Maker* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Count it a blessing when you suffer for being a Christian. This shows that God's glorious Spirit is with you. But you deserve to suffer if you are a murderer, a thief, a crook, or a busybody. Don't be ashamed to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God that you belong to him."* (1 Peter 4:14-16(CEV))
_Bible Insight:_
Some of the ideologies or myths that stand against making a positive difference are---
A. If you cannot beat them, join them:-
If you succumb to this slogan you cannot make a positive difference. Rather say, if you cannot beat them, continue to be the one that gives a credible alternative. So that tomorrow, someone else will not say "if you can't beat them join them" Instead, they can at least have an option to join you! So I say, if you cannot beat them, show others who don't want to join them, how they can do it!
B. Everyone is doing it:--
No, everyone is not doing it. Majority may be doing it, but it is okay to be the lone, moral/upright minority. Contentment and godliness is a great gain! Don't trade it.
C. You will suffer for nothing:--
It is not true. Those who fall for everything don't have value. Those who bend just because they cannot suffer for what they believe, are actually not worth following. Be able to suffer for what you believe, if you must suffer for it. It is not "nothing". It Is big deal to stand by your convictions and suffer for what you believe to be right. And that's something great!

*The Difference Maker* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."* (Isaiah 58:12 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The thing about making a positive difference is that, it usually calls for sacrifice, determination, loneliness at times and even attracts dislike, criticism and persecution at times.
Jesus made a real difference when he suffered for what he didn't do just because he wanted to save the whole world, and that is you and I too. But the people of the world are yet to accept his sacrifice hence the need to continue to preach the gospel amid attacks, criticism, indiference, etc
To make matters worse many who claim to be believers are nothing but enemies of the cross and cause of Christ....why? Because By their conducts, they actually make a mess of the name of Christ and bring reproach.
Shine your light in the midst of the moral and mental darkness of this world. Don't compromise but rather attack the darkness with your light no matter how small.
_MEDITATION:_
*Note that until you are actually making a positive difference, you are not making a difference at all, because when darkness is common, more darkness doesn't make any difference but only light does.*

*The Difference Maker*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.* (Isaiah 60:1-2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Making a difference is the make up of great people. Everyone who must become notable in life must be in the business of difference making. Not making a difference is the real definition of a failure. Don't ever be okay with not being felt in any place you find yourself.
Making a positive difference....
There are positive and negative differences one can make, but there are more positive differences calling to be made than there are negative...
You must learn to desire to make a positive difference. In seeking to make a positive difference, always remember that bad news travel faster. This explain why a lot of messy and unhealthy things are popular, or should I say, notorious on social media.
So between the positive difference and the negative difference, don't be surprised if negative difference travels faster, and makes more noise than the positive.
Remember, your goal is not just to make the news but the positive (good) news. Don't be carried away by things that make more waves if they are not positive, God glorifying and edifying.
In thd final analysis, however, the negatives don't make any difference. Rather, they add to the rot in the system.
Today you hear someone who was some kind of celebrity or popular on social media has suddenly gone viral because they leaked a nude themselves Or you hear someone has committed murder (homicide), killing a sister or brother or wife or husband or children, etc... And these make the news but they actually only add to the rot in the system.
The real deal is making a positive difference! And that's what you want to be doing!
_MEDITATION:_
*You must decide to make a positive difference by doing something positively different in a good way.*

*Resisting The Unholy Romance* (IX)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover"* (James 4:4-5 (The Message)
_Bible Insight:_
These words of God are not before us for our consideration; they are there for our obedience and we have no right to claim the title of Christian unless we follow them.
For myself, I fear any kind of religious stir among Christians that does not lead to repentance and result in a sharp separation of the believer from the world.
I am suspicious of any organized revival effort that is forced to play down the hard terms of the kingdom.
No matter how attractive the movement may appear, if it is not founded in righteousness and nurtured in humility it is not of God.
If it exploits the flesh it is a religious fraud and should not have the support of any God-fearing Christian.
Only that is of God which honors the Spirit and prospers at the expense of the human ego.
“That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the
Lord†(1 Corinthians 1:31)
The End.
_MEDITATION:_
*Think of God as a Jealous God that He is. Think of anything worldly as unfaithfulness and cheating on God. How Jealous do you suppose God is for every time we align and behave like the unsaved world?* -- David Joshua Egbochuo

*Resisting The Unholy Romance* (VIII)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions."* (Galatians 5:17 (NLT)
_Bible Insight:_
It is true also that the grosser manifestations of fallen human nature are part of the kingdom of this world.
Organized amusements with their emphasis upon shallow pleasure, the great empires built upon vicious and unnatural habits, unrestrained abuse of normal appetites, the artificial world called “high societyâ€â€” these are all of the world.
They are all part of that which is flesh, which builds upon flesh and must perish with the flesh. And from these things the Christian must flee.
All these he must put behind him and in them he must have no part. Against them he must stand quietly but firmly without compromise and without fear.
So whether the world presents itself in its uglier aspects or in its subtler and more refined forms, we must recognize it for what it is and repudiate it bluntly.
We must do this if we would walk with God in our generation as Enoch did in his. A clean break with the world is imperative.
_MEDITATION:_
*"So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves."* (Galatians 5:16)
