United We Stand
Kristians must understand di importance of unity and dey act together as one. Di bible admonish us to shun segregation, and avoid unhealthy rivalry weh dey detrimental to propagation of gospel. No Kristian sect suppose assume superiority over others; rather, we suppose serve God with humble spirit and konsider others to be more important.
Di bible emphasize, “Him weh observes di day, observes am to di Lord; and him weh no observe di day, to di Lord he no observe am. Hin weh eats, eats to di Lord, fo hin give God thanks; and hin weh no eat, nah to di Lord he no eat, and give God thanks. Fo none of us lives by himself, and no one die by himself. Fo if we live, we live fo di Lord; and if we die, we die fo di Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we dey fo di Lord’s” (Romans 14:6-8).
LESSON
Unity go promote kristianity, but disunity go halt hin expansion. Unfortunately, Satan don trick kristians to arrogantly kompete with each others. Various kristian factions claim rivalry and pursue mundane things weh kontribute little or nothing to di kingdom of God. Meanwhile, God expects hin pikin to serve am with purity and liberty of di spirit - without to dey entertain hot argument and rat race.
According to Romans 14:6-8, God allows true worship with liberty of spirit. If one person is adept in Mosaic Laws to only worship God on Saturday, leavr am make he do so! If he refuse to eat pork, no dishonor am! Also, a vegetarian weh believes on eating vegetable in konjunction with hin Kristian service never sin! Meanwhile, God no state sey human tradition go lead to our salvation - dem dey relevant to dis earth only! Di salvation offer of Jesus Krist bi di only God approve passage weh lead to heaven. That is, anyone weh believe in Jesus Krist go be save - irrespective of hin or her kulture and background. Kristians suppose serve God humbly, plainly, and truthfully - and avoid all form of self-righteousness weh fit affect gospel expansion.
