• To the Bible:

“If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.” (Luke 9:26 NLT)

• Introduction:

“Now when the men of the Sanhedrin (Jewish High Court) saw the confidence and boldness of Peter and John, and grasped the fact that they were uneducated and untrained [ordinary] men, they were astounded, and began to recognize that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13 AMP)

Greetings dear Praying-Partners.  Today, we are going to intercede for Closet-Christians.

Christianity as a way of life is loud. 

If you are a Christian, as in a Follower of Jesus Christ,  your righteousness will be evident to all. 

Your manifesting the characteristics of Christ will expose who you are. 

Christianity is a loving relationship with God, characterized by a daily faith-walk with Christ Jesus.

Our opening scriptures point to how evident it was that Peter and John were disciples of Christ, even in the face of persecution and religious bigotry!

Although they were uneducated formally in any prestigious-secular-school, their lifestyles and language showed their higher spiritual education.

Though they seemed like ordinary men, they did extraordinary faith-exploits in the name of Jesus Christ. 

They were articulate, brave, and bold in expressing their faith, and in confronting the forces of evil and the politicians if their time. 

Peter and John were not confused about their spiritual identity and relationship with Christ- it was displayed in their self-confidence, God-honoring words and faith motivated actions. 

In our world today, Christian folks have to stand up for their beliefs.  

Enough of hiding in the closet because you do not want to offend!

The Bible says to ‘Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.’ (Read 1Peter 3:15)

Christ is our model! 

Though he was meek and gentle,  He was no pushover! He stood up positively against the religious bigots and politicians.

 He was no coward. His words were unfiltered Truths as He confronted issues, persons and evil spirits.

He was a visionary-missionary who focused on the goal. He boldly declared : “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me and to accomplish his work’ (Read John 4:34) 

• #BoldlyDeclare ;

‘ I refuse to allow anything to stand in the way of my relevance in this world. Christ must be seen in me and through me. I am the burning and shining light in my generation who is leading many folks to glory. Nothing can hold me back or stop me as I move upwards and forward, displaying the virtues of God who delivered me from the domain of darkness and established me as a praise upon this earth. I am a visionary- missionary and my food is to do the will of Father God and finish the work. Glory be to God. Hallelujah!’

Folks, we should stop playing the victim in this world. In Christ Jesus, we are victorious over the world. Christ has overcome the world and restored our dominion over this world. The powers that be are subject to us. This is our world. Let us stand up and stand out. Let us pray.
