ARE YOU A PROACTIVE OR A REACTIVE CHRISTIAN?

BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 25:1-13

INTRODUCTION


To be Proactive means to create or control a situation rather than just responding to it after it has happened. On the other hand, to be Reactive means to act in response to a situation rather than creating or controlling it.
If you follow the Bible Passage carefully, you will notice the differences that exist between the two categories of virgins and as well what they both have in common despite the fact they both got invited to be brides.

Reactive Christians decisions in life are always triggered by desires, feelings, circumstances, conditions, and their environment. A very good example of such person in the Bible was Samson in Judges 16:6-20. When they are faced with a situation, they resolve to quick-fix option which might impair their right judgement.

The Proactive Christian


These Christians are not limited by circumstances surrounding them. There is no impossibility in their realm. Do you know WHY? Because God their father makes the impossible possible by His word (Genesis 1:1-2:25)

They know God’s plan for them (Proverbs 19:21), so it becomes difficult to rush into doing things outside God’s plan for their life.

They are problem solvers, and they aren’t beggars (Acts 20:35)

They are obedient to the core (Proverbs 13:1)

They create opportunities for others and they aren’t beggars (1 Thessalonians 4:11)

They are open to corrections (Proverbs 12:1)

They exhibit their God given gift (1 Peter 4:10)

CONCLUSION
What are you finding difficult to accomplish, thinking you’ve come to the end of the road? Remember the saying, “There is light at the end of a tunnel”. Start creating the changes you want to see in your life. He who created you, made you a creator like Him. Jesus gave you a consolation prize when He said in John 14:12, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

Please, feel free to reply me should you have any concern.
