Are YOU Spiritually Healthy or have you Stagnated?


Have you ever walked past a pond or a pool where the water has gone off-coloured and stagnated? Instead of looking pleasant, it contains green slimy gunk and oftentimes is not pleasant to the nostrils having a pungent whiff. Sometimes, those of us who profess to follow Jesus Christ can also turn people off; they turn their nose up in disgust, because our lives are inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ whom we profess to follow. We say that Jesus is Lord of our life yet we live for ourselves.

  • Do you spend quality time in reading the Holy Bible and in prayer every day?
  • Have you forsaken sin and live as if you are fit for heaven? Or do you still live like a heathen, a Western heathen with a materialistic look-after-number-one mindset.
  • Do you love Jesus more than you love sin? Even secret sin?
  • Are you a Sunday saint but 'Monday aint?'
  • Are you dancing with the devil and two-timing Jesus?
  • Do you fear the Lord? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge and to hate sin (Proverbs 1:7, 8:13 and 9:10).
  • Do your friends and associates know that you follow Jesus Christ and that He is your Lord and Saviour?
  • Do you share your faith with others?
  • Do you deny Jesus by your lifestyle and ungodly language?
  • Do you faithfully tithe, give offerings and are a cheerful giver?
  • Are you closer to the Lord than last month or last year?
  • Are you progressing in the faith or regressing?
  • Is Jesus Lord of your life or is He only your Saviour?
  • Do you take up your cross daily and follow Jesus?
