It baffles me when some Christians act as Unbelievers and the next minute Like Christ (Christians).therby making it difficult to differentiate between a genuine one and fake.

So how can one know a genuine child of God. ?

By their fruits you shall know them. A fruit does not bear bier likewise the bier fruits.

The bible talks about "WOLVES in SHEEP'S CLOTHING".

This terms might refer to a false prophet or teacher(deceivers), to hypocrites ( they say and do not).
The sheep are genuine Christians.

Although they may make some mistakes in characters like becoming angry or lust but you'll always see repentance and determination in them. These are sheep working towards perfection. Genuine Christians can suffer one or more flaws in their lives. First thing is to acknowledge you have a problem(s) and then tackle it with pray and practice of righteous living.

I invite you to The Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement @Ijesha Bustop. Come and be blessed. If you're coming (anyone) pls let me know. So we can exchange no. and meet.Thank you.

THE ANSWER

"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if anyman that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat." 1Cor 5:11

There is no certain way you can know unless you look into their hearts which only God can see but by their words, you know them. Out of the abundance of a true christians heart, comes wisdom.

When you become a true follower of Christ, the first thing you are given is wisdom. God will not give you money or luxury but the word of God in your spirit. So use your ears to differentiate the real from the fake.

Hypocrites are people who claim to be morally better than they really are. Christians are people who consider themselves such moral failures that they have come to Jesus for help and forgiveness. Making it spiritually depends not on how popular or nice we are, but how much we want God to rule our life and change us. To know the true Christians:

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such
things there is no law.

A genuine Christian is the one that has either pastor, bishop,archbishop,deacon , evangelist or prophet in his/her name

Ok

*Church going

*Enriching the pastor













Just kidding

A christian is someone who has a treasure in an earthen vessel.
He has the life of God (the treasure) in an earthen vessel (his earthly body).
Sometime, the treasure shines out but at other times you see the earthen vessel manifesting the works of the flesh which are opposed to the life of God.

By constant fellowship with God, he exercises his spirit and makes the treasure (the life of Christ) to shine more often. This way, he gains some mastery over his earthen vessel.

However, as long as he lives in this body, there will be a manifestation of both the treasure and the earthen vessel until he drops this body in death.
When the earthen vessel is gone, the treasure can then shine in all its glory.

This is the 'paradox' of the christian life.

Lord's Chosen? no be me. una heart wey dirty and wicked like any other thing. u people don't see other denominations as Christians that can make heaven.

A sign of a better Christian was exhibited by Pa Awolowo when he starved 3 million children under 5 yrs old to death, and not only that...HE GLADLY WATCHED THEM DIE! Nigeria is the only country that celebrates her murderers.

The fruits of the Spirit. Galatians 5 v 22.

in this harsh economic times..


the only sign of a genuine xtian is " not blaming GEJ and not sending curses to buhari"!!


thats hard to find..

There's nothing like genuine child of God since everyone sins and absence of sin, is supposed to be how to detect assumed children of God.

Who una dey f00l? Duh!

If we follow the bible standards then there would be no 'genuine' Christian. Because all have sinned and come short of his glory...

By their fruits you shall know them.

A little girl once prayed and this is want she said "God, please let Christians try to be good people and let good people try to be Christians"

The truth is that some Christians just aren't good people, they judge other people, slander, gossip and can be very unforgiving, the list goes on and on. But yet they claim to be born again and all that.

On the other hand, some people are not Christians but will have you believe that they're by their good works and fruits. If we can learn to LOVE unconditionally which Christ tells us is the greatest of all commandments, then nothing stops us from bearing good fruits.

But in Nigeria today, you see so much iService and people who only show love to others they know or hope to get something from.

A golden fish had no hiding place. Study Galatians 5.


Meanwhile, I'd be releasing my single titled My Nation on or before the 1st day of October. Nairalanders, anticipate hard!

A genuine Christian on nairaland will still be praying for this country even in hard times like this.
A true Christian will not bash Buhari nor abuse him nor curse him or blame Jonathan, he will still be wishing him well and praying for God to give him guidiance and the wisdom He gave unto Solomon.
A true Christian will not engage in e-wars and e-fights with other nairalanders.
A true Christian will not bash into Crime news to come and check names so as to ascertain the convict's tribe and then bash him and his tribe.
A true Christian does not know the difference between IPOBS, AFONJAHS and NORTHERNERS cos he sees all of them as One.
Lastly a True Christian does not comment on cleavage topics, romance or any lust enticing posts like the vaseline crew members.
Are you a Christian in Nairaland and you're guilty of the aforementioned? If yes then you should check yourself.
