Christian Uniform
A nation having a supreme leader with their own style or way
of living: reflecting the attitudes and values of the nation or individuals of
the nation. The robes and beads that the kings and people from the royal family
uses or wear is not because they wanted to wear it but because that is the
requirement. Their ancestors would have been into it for long and that is the
same thing they met. Student putting on uniform would have preferred or loved
to wear mufti to school
but that is simply the student way of life. It is a
culture, total way of life of people living in the same geographical area to
attain a certain or common goal.
There are two major kingdoms as far as Christians are
concerned; the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. The former is
governed by satan and the light by God (Col 1:13). Some people say that “I
wouldn’t have fallen if I was to be the one in the garden of Eden” forgetting
that the life required in light is from inside out not outside in. It is the
measure of what you have, you dish out. “In him was life” and that life was the
“light of men” (John 1:4). There is a way of life in the kingdom of light that
makes people see the reflection of light in you and vice versa. When we are
being rescued from the kingdom of darkness, the life that should show forth
should be of Christ and will be a light (way path) onto others. Out of the
belly will flow rivers, not into the belly will flow rivers of living water.
When you are embedded in the kingdom of light lifestyle, everything in you
would be speaking and reflecting of the light of the kingdom. A man has the
right to choose either light or darkness not both. When you choose the path of
darkness, there will definitely be no spot of light not even at the end of the
tunnel but light cannot behold any darkness (John 1:5).
Believers have a standard and foundation that has been laid
down by somebody (John 3:16) that is a ruler of that kingdom not just a member.
One needs to receive salvation to grow in the kingdom you are born into (John
3:3, 5-8). You don’t grow by mere declaration but by action; learning of the
word of God makes you know your rights and requirements of the kingdom (Joshua
1:7-8). Consistent meditation in the day and night teaches and reveals
mysteries of the kingdom and its lifestyle even unveils the things of the world
that the gods of the world has covered (2 Corinthians 4:3-6).
A man that wants to live a successful lifestyle in this world
needs a teacher that is the Hoy spirit. He helps you to drop some things that would
hinder your growth in the kingdom because a mother would not give a 3 months
old baby pounded yam but milk to drink (spiritual milk). Some lifestyles as a
child or son in the kingdom of light are living your life as a lamp, live as a
beatitude (Matt 5:1-12), manifestation of the fruit of the spirit of God in you
(Gal 5:22-23) and not making the gift paramount and not relying solely on it,
life full of the love of God and to your neighbor not a life full of lust of
the flesh and lots more.
Jesus has given a standard and foundation that cannot be
change but rather be built on. Believing in Him or accepting or having the Holy
Spirit will give a full guide on how to live the kingdom lifestyle because
Jesus is the life himself. He came and gave us life and it was in abundance (John
10:10).
Emitting the light and the life of Christ is the uniform that
Christians possess. It is through this light that you emit that would
differentiate you and give you the recognition that you are indeed a child of
God and a child of light.
