You know it's funny how people intentionally hurt you and expect you to just overlook it because you are a Christian.
You know people will do unthinkable things to you and if you react, you hear things like nawa ooo SEBI you call yourself a Christian
This is common to self-centered people of the world with the intention to guilt trip you to do their biddings.
But that's not even where I'm going.
I want to talk about fellow christians hurting you and expecting no reaction from you or they expect you to react in a certain way.
If you react then you are the one who is not a Christian, you are not following Christ, you are supposed to just overlook their wrongdoings and move on
Automatic forgiveness without any reaction from you, you must forgive and forget and not react nor hold any grudges nor ill feeling because of course you are a child of God
As if they are not the child of the devil for intentionally provoking someone Christ died for.
See brothers and sisters actions and reactions are equal but opposite, this law is true anywhere in the world take it or leave it.
Now as christians are we supposed to forgive?
Most definitely.
But listen and listen good if you hurt people they are going to react, and you can't dictate how people will react, mbanu it's not possible.
If you are wrong apologize and mean it, be truly sorry. Don't expect automatic ticket to forgiveness.
It doesn't work like that, wether christian or not, people have the right to be angry if you wrong or hurt them.
Let's stop taking away that right from christians, we are not zombies, we feel pain too, we have emotions too, we live in the body "this flesh".
Let's begin to teach accountability in churches, not only forgiveness, let's begin to hold people accountable for their actions instead of just asking the offended to forgive.
Let the offender too be held accountable for their actions that's the balance, if not we will keep raising self-centered, arrogant christians, who believes they can behave anyhow and get away with it.
Let's Stop dictating to christians how they should react to offense, if not we will keep raising pretentious christians, who act normal when infact they harbor grudges in their hearts.
Let's start teaching accountability in churches, if not SEBI the world is chaotic as it is, if we don't start holding people accountable for their actions, get ready for what's about to come.
We will see irresponsibility at its peak. Remember it's supposed to be from the church to the world.
Let's start raising responsible and accountable christians now before it gets out of hand.
If not the chaos we are seeing in the world right now is small compared to the one that is coming, if the church doesn't wake. Selah
