1. Shallowness.
Luke 8:13.But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of [a]temptation fall away.
A time for testing surely comes for every Christian.
Shallow people do not know God for themselves, canāt explain why they do the things they do and donāt know why they belong to a particular.
When they face criticism, they get confused and have no defense.
They have no conviction of their own, canāt say God spoke to me.
Those who are not deeply rooted can easily be persuaded to follow feeble and fall away because they do not know the difference between the true gospel and beliefs of sects.
Shallow Christians fall away when a great man of God gets into some scandals sin āwhy would you leave your salvation because your pastor sinnedā
Donāt be shallow and light, blown about by wind of doctrine. Donāt follow the crowd, shallow people follow the crowd.
Colo2:6-8. As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding [a]in it with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest anyone [b]cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
2. Emptiness
1Cor 13:1 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.
Empty Christians have little or nothing in them.
Make a lot of noise without substance.
Emptiness attract other things to fill the empty space
A spiritual vacuum will be filled with spiritual things either positive or negative.
Nature abhors a vacuum and every space will be filled
Empty Christians are loud and noticeable but lack substance.
Luke 11:25. And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.
Emptiness\ empty Christians are targets for the enemy, the devil will try to fill you with evil and backsliding tendencies because of the emptiness within you.
Acts6:5
Stephen wasnāt empty but full of faith and Holy Ghost therefore he did not backslide but served tables and went on to become an evangelist.
There is need for every Christian to be filled with the word, spirit and word.
Fill your spirit with the word of God and good Christian music.
N\B. Drive away the emptiness from your spiritual life ā this is a fundamental key to staying power for the Christian race.
