All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
What we need to be but what we are not
It says in the bible that those who believe and accept Christ as their saviour are reborn again by the Spirit. And all those are children of God. And they are Christs.
My point is that Being Christs' mean to be for his glory and not mine(or the believer). But we, I for example if I can speak for myself, I am entangled by my worldly needs. I search for jobs, opportunities and also I desire to be with my family again.
But in reality, Christian reality, this kind of thing should not exist. God gave his life to me so that I do everything for his glory.
So the question now comes I am more engaged in worldly life issues than spritual issue. So I thought of what others do and it is more or less the same. They work very hard to get promotions or they spend more time to promote their businesses. I believe almost everybody follows the same track. But is that really what we are here for.
Obviously Gods' will is much more greater for me in promoting his Kingdom but I am not participating in it and I don't know how?
So I put this question for everybody.
What do I need to be as a christian- a believer in Christ- to really promote the kindom of God?
Gods' will for us is beyond sinning, Christian life should be holy ofcourse but there should be fruits which comes with holiness. Say I achieve what I seek now( a good income, a house, a family and be able also to reunite back with my family again). What will happen? I go to work try very hard to impress my bosses so I get promotion, I come home sit with my family do some prayers. I talk to my kids. I go to church also tithe. I keep away as much as I can from sin and I listen to music.
Is this a spritual life that is so planned for me. obviously not. So how so I really get to this spritual reality. How do I hold on and change from this track. I rise up with my whole motive to seek for continous prayer and fasting but ( I dont know the exact reason why) I gradually stop.
I think my question is everybodys question. So it is worth discussing it.
God bless you all

I am so sorry to hear that you are away from your family! That musn't be easy. It is a good thing that you long to be with them. That is because you are a dad. It is a godly thing to love your family.
However, for some reason, the Lord has you away from them at this time. He must have a purpose for that too. This can be a time when you can draw closer to God. It would seem that He wants to spend time alone with you. That is the season that you are in right now.
But then, when God takes you back to your family, you can go and enjoy them, and teach them the things God has taught you. I'm sure that would be a wonderful time.
So, I guess what I am really trying to say is, enjoy the season God has put you in. God has His blessing for you in ALL seasons of life. And each season of life has its own trials and things that would won't to draw us away from God.
"To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace."
(Ecc 3:1-8 - read the rest of the chapter also!)
I believe the key is this:
"In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths." (Prov 3:6, Amp.)
