The influence of doing God's will

Rom 14:12-22

As. Christian we influence people subconsciously. We may do things that may not seem wrong or questionable. But to others looking at us as an example may find it disappointing if for example we wear skimpy clothes or drink liberally.

When you become Christian, there are always some who would like to see you fall. Because now you're holding up a mirror to the world..

Neh 4:1-6
Acts 8:26-31

It is for our benefit to follow the Lord's instructions, for we don't know the actions that us obeying may be a catalyst for. For Philip obeying God,by leaving his congregation and going to one man, became the catalyst of bringing Christianity to Ethiopia and saving a nation and nations to come.

Acts 9:26-29

Saul became Paul. Whom at the beginning was a killer of Christians. At his conversion, the disciples feared him.But God has spoken to Barnabas to be Paul's 'sponsor', explaining his transformation to the others and he preached and won many a soul for the kingdom of God. Had Barnabas not obeyed God and sponsored Paul. He may have become discouraged,he may have then thought I was right in the beginning to the Christians thus killing again with more vigour.
But beware. Pray for discernment, so that you are actually doing God's will.
