CHRISTIANS NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS ATTITUDE – APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN
The way many of us live our lives is proof that we do not yet acknowledge the authority of Jesus over us. We are the masters of our own will; we do anything we want to do. He that strives for mastery is temperate in all things. You cannot live your life doing just anything that comes into your mind, it is not done that way.
If you want to walk with God, you must be willing to be constrained by the love of God. Don’t try to modernize Christianity. I’m both new and old school, and it depends on what you are calling old and what you are calling new. Thank God for westernization and technology, but many of us have become victims of these things. There is an unusual lust for comfort, lawlessness, and liberty that is not constrained.
If you are always saying, “It’s a social world,” you are not ready to do business with God. If it is the God of heaven you want to work with, you must be ready to be constrained.
Many of us are jumping into all kinds of things, no restraint, no constraint, and we don’t care. That is what is happening to many Christians. Most believers don’t like reading or hearing things like this because they want to live their lives anyhow, without being constrained by anybody.
Constraint is related to mastery. You must be ready to constrain yourself for the sake of the place God is taking you to.
There are relationships and people you need to cut away from, things you must let go of, because they will stop you from arriving at the place God has destined you to be.
