Rooted and On Fire for Christ

Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV)
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your
lives in him,7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

*Do u remember the day that u first accepted God into your life? Do you remember feeling a sense urgency or just a need to answer the altar call, or pray the prayer of salvation? Now, remember how it felt when u went up and decided to dedicate yourself to God....OR, perhaps u needed to re-dedicate yourself? I hope you experienced a refreshing moment of wonderment and perhaps excitement and curiosity towards your new walk. Many of us were on fire when we were first saved...Willing and ready to do whatever for Him and His kingdom. However, do u remember a pastor or someone telling u that now that u have traded sides, u may experience more attacks from the evil one? Well, sometimes these attacks take away our zest and fire for God. Some become complacent Christians and are afraid to take on more responsibility because they are concerned about being attacked, or feel as though we may not have what it takes because u aren't "holy enough" to carry out certain assignments. However, don't be tricked into missing out on growth, rewards on Earth and in Heaven, and not fulfilling the will of Christ because of your lack of faith. Be so ready and on fire for God that your faith becomes strengthened, and you are overflowing with thankfulness to do His will because u know the power of the continuous flow of seed time and harvest. Do not be afraid to try new things, talk to Him more often, or go through things for His namesake because that's how u become more rooted and grounded through Him. The road of living a righteous life may not always be easy, but u are covered better then any insurance and it's worth it. Please, become saved if you aren't there. Your life depends on it.Charitycommunicationsviagod.blogspot.com has a salvation folder.
