Top 5 Bad Habits We Need To Eradicate In Our Faith

-

 

We all have bad habits as Christians it's either they make or break our faith, turns others away from the faith here are the top 5 bad habits we need to eradicate from our walk with God. 


Being judgmental

We judge others who live in sin, or don't have the same faith we have, being judgmental is a terrible trait to have as we can put others of from giving their life to God, we don't look loving or caring when we judge others. 


Coming late to church

This is another terrible trait to have we are not late to appointments, work or meeting up with friends so why are we late for God?! Yes, things happen like being stuck in traffic but when you're constantly being late for God you are ruining your offering for God. 


Spreading rumours 

We've all been guilty of this including myself which I'm working on, spreading gossip can incur church hurt on others and make them leave the faith, if you hear gossip you can either ignore it, politely decline to have the conversation or just not spread it. 


Being too performative

A trait that irks my soul is being too performative like the Pharisee's were whether it's praying too loud in church/at home or oversharing your faith on social media in the word it says to be discreet that you shouldn't even tell people you're fasting in 1st Timothy 5:13-14 & Matthew 6:18. There's no need to be doing such, our faith should not be a secret but it shouldn't be something to boast about it, things should be done with grace and meekness. 


Being overzealous 

This is something that happens with more the younger and newer believers, overzealous is when Christians overdo it, they are too extreme and fanatic, they read into the scriptures too much, they believe everything is from the devil and they turn non-essential salvation topics such as listening to music and wearing certain clothes as essential issues, please like I said our faith should be executed with grace and moderation, our faith should be held with balance. 


These are the top 5 behaviours we must cut off from our faith, if we don't as I've previously mentioned we will become fanatic believers that will eventually leave the faith, we will put others from coming to Christ and we will be Pharisaic like the Pharisees were.

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch nemesis

Spiritual Priorities

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Spirit Of Disobedience

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-7   If you asked what is the reason or the biggest sin that takes Christians, people away from God? I would say justification of living in sin and when you're living in sin on PURPOSE you are disobeying God. In the word it says we shouldn't do A to Z but in in today times where even many Christian authorities disobey the ways of God. This is why there is many sorry to say many lost, weak Christians in the world. Okay we all have different spiritual journeys we all take time and move in differe
