Being TENACIOUS in our christian life.

As Christians it is very important to have a personal relationship with God. As I was doing my my quiet time today, I felt it in my spirit to share a few steps on how to be tenacious in our christian life. Being a young christian comes with a lot of challenges but I'll say it's always great to focus on the goal and the goal is to live as Christ. Don't get me wrong I'm not suggesting I am Christ in anyway but I'm saying I strive to live according to his word and his purpose for my life.

Okay back to the title. Someone will ask what do you mean by being tenacious? Being tenacious simply means persevering, persisting, being purposeful and unshakable. In this context being tenacious in our christian life means persevering and striving to live according to God's purpose for your life.The question is how can we be tenacious? I am going to share with you 5 ways you can be tenacious  in your christian life.

  • Set your belief system straight 

Setting your belief straight as a christian simply means knowing what you believe in.  As Christians you have to know that we believe in Christ through faith. Someone will simply ask why do you believe in something or someone you have never seen? I'll say its not always about what you see but rather its about what you believe in and the level of faith you have.                                                                                                  

  • Work towards a goal and stay focused

We have to discipline ourselves so that we can work towards a specific goal in other to grow more and more in Christ.  For instance: if my goal is to win 10 souls for Christ everyday I  have to work towards this goal by going out of my way to tell people about Jesus. However if winning souls for Christ is my goal and I don't take any steps towards achieving this goal. It will never be achieved.

  • Understand that you can face challenges


You have to understand that there will be times where you will face challenges as a Christian but always remember no situation is permanent in life and take everything to God in prayer. There will be times when your friends will think you're a weirdo just because you believe in a man you've never seen or you do things contrary to what people label as normal. But hey being odd is good sometimes, it means you're special in your own way.

  • Don't forget to refuel yourself

Always refuel yourself. Prayer is the key for every christian. Prayer helps to draw us closer and nearer to God. You can also refuel by listening to messages that inspired you, reading the bible and praising God.

  • Make friends with people who have the same goals as you

Making friends with like minded people will help you to stay focused. Friends you have the same goal with will always encourage you and help you on achieving your goals. Always remember that prayer is the key.
