Which circle best represents you?
1. THIS FIRST CIRCLE REPRESENTS THE LIFE OF A PERSON WHO HAS NEVER
RECEIVED CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.
Christ stands outside the door of his or her life, seeking entrance
(Revelation 3:20.) This person’s life is in utter chaos and confusion:
2. THIS SECOND CIRCLE REPRESENTS A LIFE IN WHICH THE PERSON HAS
PLACED THEMSELF RATHER THAN CHRIST ON THE THRONE OF THEIR LIFE.
Once self has been placed on the throne, Christ is forced to step down,
resulting in the loss of fellowship between that person and Christ.
The individual is still a Christian, but because he or she is not in right
relation with Christ, life remains a source of confusion and chaos. I
Corinthians 3:1-3, speaks of the carnal (self-centered) Christian.
3. THIS FINAL CIRCLE REPRESENTS THE LIFE OF A PERSON WHO
HAS INVITED JESUS CHRIST TO COME INTO HIS/HER LIFE AND
ALLOWS CHRIST TO CONTROL AND EMPOWER HIS/HER LIFE.
Christ is occupying His rightful place on the throne of this person’s
life. Ego and self-have been dethroned (John 15:1-8.)
Which circle represents you? Which one must
you continuously strive and aim for?
Remember that developing as a Christian is a lifelong process. Be encouraged
to continue and press on, regardless of what Satan tries to throw in your face.
YOU ARE VICTORIOUS IN CHRIST!!!
