HEALTHY SPIRIT
Do Not Imitate
John came neither eating nor drinking and they say, “He has a devil”. The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they say, “Look, a glutton and a wine drinker and a friend of tax collectors and sinners.” But wisdom is justified by her children. (Matthew 11:18-19) This Bible passage teaches us the following:
2. Do what God has called you to do the way He has called you to do it.
Therefore, if you are to do it by “eating and drinking and socializing”, do it in such a way that is it clear to all that you minister by mingling even if is with the so called “untouchables and undesirables” of society. If on the other hand you are to accomplish God’s purposes by “not eating or drinking”, do it in such a way that it is clear to all that you are called to minister by leading a set-apart and fasted lifestyle.
1. Be true to your calling because you will be crucified if you do and beheaded if you do not.
Therefore stop paying attention to what your critics are saying about you and just focus on doing what God has called you to do.
