Let us seek God not only when we need something but also because He is worthy of our time, worship, and attention. One day, money, possessions, popularity, beauty, and worldly pleasures will no longer matter.

TOPIC: *GOD HAS NOT CALLED YOU TO “FIT IN.” WITHOUT HOLINESS, NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD.*

CIC83: *CELEBRITY IN CHRIST EPISODE 83*

Not everything that makes us happy is good for our soul, and not everything the world calls “normal” is pleasing to God.

There are many things that can give us temporary pleasure—drunkenness, sinful relationships, worldly desires, immoral choices, and a lifestyle that ignores God.

But temporary pleasure is never worth losing our relationship with the Lord. Hebrews 12:14 gives us a serious reminder: “Pursue holiness.”

Holiness does not mean that we are perfect. It means having a heart that truly repents, turns away from sin, and desires to live according to God’s will.

People may not see what we do in secret, but God sees everything. He sees our choices, our thoughts, our motives, and the condition of our hearts.

One day, money, possessions, popularity, beauty, and worldly pleasures will no longer matter.

*The most important question will be:*

*Did I live for God?*
*Did I repent of my sins?*
*Did I follow Jesus?*
*Was my life pleasing to Him?*

While there is still time, come back to the Lord. Turn away from sin. Choose holiness. Choose obedience. Choose Jesus over the temporary pleasures of this world.

*Do not trade eternal life for temporary pleasure.*

*Do not let the world become more important than your relationship with God.*

Jesus is calling us to wake up, repent, and prepare our hearts. Stay faithful. Stay watchful. Stay holy. Stay close to Jesus.

“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.” — Hebrews 12:14

Jesus is coming. Repent. Believe. Be holy. Be ready.

*GOD HAS NOT CALLED YOU TO “FIT IN.”*

Sometimes, following God means standing apart from the crowd. It means choosing obedience when everyone else chooses compromise.

It means saying NO to the things that pull you away from God, even when saying no makes you feel alone.

You were never created to live your life simply trying to please people. You were created with a purpose, a calling, and an identity in Christ.

You don't need to become like everyone else just to be accepted. You don't need the world's approval when you already have God's purpose over your life.

There will be moments when doing what is right feels heavy. There will be people who don't understand your choices. There will be doors you must walk away from, friendships you may need to release, and temptations you must overcome.

*But remember:* being different for God is not failure—it is faithfulness. Don't allow the pressure of the world to make you forget who you are.

*You are not called to follow the crowd.*

*You are called to follow Christ.*

*You are not called to fit the world's mold.*

*You are called to be transformed by God.*

*You are not called to live for applause.*

*You are called to live for His glory.*

Keep going even when you're misunderstood. Keep your faith when others walk away. Keep your standards when compromise seems easier. And keep your eyes on Jesus when the road becomes difficult.

*You don't have to fit in when God has called you to stand out.*

📖 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…” — 1 Peter 2:9

Stand firm. Stay faithful. Follow Jesus. Your purpose is greater than your need for approval.

Also, when there is a church outing, bonding, or fellowship, many people are excited to join. But when it is time for a prayer meeting, only a few come, and some have no desire to attend.

Brothers and sisters, let us change. Let us not give our best energy only to fun and bonding, while giving God the little that is left.

Outings are good, but prayer is more important. Bonding is good, *but our relationship with God matters most.*

Let us seek God not only when we need something but also because He is worthy of our time, worship, and attention.

Let us make God our priority so we will not break His heart. Seek first the kingdom of God…” — Matthew 6:33.
