Be Not Yoked with Unbelievers

Be Not Yoked with Unbelievers

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II. TJIF Thank Jesus it’s Friday, February 19, 2010! I think you all don’t have any idea how happy I am that is Friday. This week really put it on me. Well I have a good on for you guys to close out the week. And the title for today’s message is “Be Not Yoked with Unbelievers” This message came from one of Paul’s letter to Corinthia. As we are doing our share as a people, believers, and followers in Christ we must not fall subject to the people we are sharing Jesus with. We must continue to be separate. We must know how to move in the world and be not of the world. It is just like when we first turned our lives over to Christ, we stood out like a sore thumb. Because before we were going with the currents of the world, then we found Jesus and stood up. Now walk against the currents of the world. And of course it’s harder to go against the currents than taking the easy rout by going with the currents of this chaotic world. Its funny how they use the analogy of being yoked. If you crack open an egg and drop it in the skillet, the yoke is unharmed and is surrounded by egg white. We, the followers of Christ, are the yoke and the unbelievers are the egg whites. But how would you be able to tell who is the follower of Christ if you scrambled that same egg? You couldn’t because the yoke is no longer separate from the egg white or You are no longer distinguishable from the world. Notice I didn’t say separate form the world. You are somewhat separate due to the fact you know and have found Christ, but you backslid into old habits and comfortably with the sinners because of your corresponding conducts. So, one must be fully separate themselves from unbelievers to fully show them what a true believer looks, and acts like. Please read II Corinthians 6:14-17 KJV

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion with light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Where fore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean things; and I will receive you
