Don’t argue

Philippians 2:14-15 “Do everything without grumbling or arguing,so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky”.

Walking with God demands a very unique attitude. You need to approach God and his word with a receptive heart.

You see, walking with God requires that you do things his way, and no other way. Not only that, it demands that you accept his will and plans for your life without any arguments or murmuring.

The preceding verses in Philippians Chapter 2, talks about obedience to God’s word by following Jesus’s example in life.This charge was not to be argued or murmured about.

As Christians, any instruction, command or teachings that comes to us from the word of God must be accepted and applied, and not to be argued down.

You see, people have learnt the wrong way to live as Christians. Instead of accepting the truth preached and taught from the word they argue against it. They argue with the pastor, teacher or whoever is bringing the truth.

Remember that, the truth you argue against and vehemently reject can’t settle in your heart. Many have ruined their lives with this attitude. Do what the word says. Even if your emotions don’t want it, never succumb to your flesh, to speak against the word.

Read: Acts 24:12-13, “My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city. And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me.”
