Scripture:- Revelation 3:1-16
Topic:- A Microwave Christian
By Emmanuela Mike Bamiloye
Some days ago, Mummy Gloria Bamiloye wanted to eat fish with her food but the fish was frozen.
She heated it in the microwave for a couple of minutes and when it was hot, she took a piece.
As she began to eat, she realised that the centre was still cold and the following conversation ensued.
Mummy: The centre of the fish is still cold.
Daddy: That’s how some Christians are. They are microwave Christians; hot on the outside but cold on the inside.
You see them speaking in tongues “scabash scabosh” but God’s word doesn’t reach deep into their core.
You see them praying and worshipping God one moment and will the next, they are on the phone insulting and abusing people.
Although we all found daddy’s analogy amusing, I saw truth and depth in it.
Some people claim to be Christians but you cannot see Christ in them.
They have not allowed the heat of God’s Word and God’s training to pass through them to their core.
They have the appearance of godliness but deny the power thereof.
Don’t be a microwave Christian, let the Father do His complete work in your life. See Malachi 3:3.
The process of passing through heat is definitely not pleasant but the end result is always worth it.
Prayer Point:-
Oh Lord God, I refuse to be a microwave Christian, make me be on fire for You, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Beautiful Thursday!
