With the knowledge of God's truth comes great responsibility. When we learn more about the Lord and His ways and truths, we become more accountable. People are no longer able to blame ignorance or lack of information. I minister to people and try to show them that the more God reveals to them through His words, the more He will hold them accountable. He will test us with what we have learned and we must always be honest and upfront with Him. If I hear something through a preacher on the television, or my Pastor at church or through the bible or someone else, the Lord is speaking to me and wants me hear Him. He views us as children but we cannot act like children. Our Christian walk cannot be fueled by fear or naiveness. Newer Christians may not know as much as you do but when you teach them or speak with them, they become more and more responsible. And we as the vessels will be blessed for honoring Him and obeying Him when we do speak those uncomfortable words to someone that may not want to hear or learn. I feel deeply driven in my spirit sometimes to tell someone something and I say it with such passion and my sister will ask me why do I care so much or bother and I tell her I cannot help but share what I know when I am called upon to. Every conversation is a divine appointment and an opportunity for us to share something we know about God's principles. I used to talk about tithing to the salespeople that I used to work with. They were highly successful and making upwards of $2500 a week and more and I would urge them to tithe 10% and give back to the Kingdom for it was God's portion and it was showing God honor and respect for their blessings. I never was scared of being mocked nor did I fear ridicule. If anything, the Holy Spirit allowed them to receive His message with grace and humbleness. I will never know who listened and obeyed His word but I know that they can no longer live nor say they never knew. And I know God will be pleased with me for speaking His truths. Stop hiding and start living for God. Stop fearing you are overstepping your boundaries or becoming involved where you have no place. If you love God and love others as yourself, then share with them. You may be the only person that ever tells someone the way to heaven is through God's Son Jesus Christ. You may the only one that ever shares with them the reason for tithing or how the Lord provided for 5000 people with a few loaves and fishes. Stop assuming and start sharing you knowledge! And do it today for we also will be accountable to the Lord someday. Be blessed!
