WRONG ZEAL OR WRONG MOTIVE

BY: JUDAH OLATUNDE

Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that THEY HAVE A ZEAL OF GOD, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE

Paul was showing us examples of believers who seem to have so much zeal or passion but yet their passion was not right because their passion was not according to the true knowledge of Christ.

From our text, it is evident that, they had knowledge but yet their knowledge was from the wrong source and this made their passion to be a wrong one.
Misinformation is as dangerous and equally destructive as lack of knowledge.

In life, whatever you do is as a result of what you know. If your knowledge is wrong, it is impossible for your actions to be right. The mistake we make as believers is that, we equate good actions as right actions. An action can be good but completely unwanted and even devastating.

There are so many people serving God today for the purpose of the benefits they will get. For these ones, their motives or passion for serving God is not right and thus can fall away at any time when challenges arises.

These people may express so much vigor and zeal in service and good works but yet their passion was gotten in a wrong way and thus cannlead to their destruction. The source of your passion will determine how long you will last in the faith.

For some of us, what has kept us in the faith has been unusual order of hunger, it is an hunger that cannot be explained, you are just permanently hungry for God, to be with Him irrespective of all that is happening around you. Dr. Paul Enenche calls it "an hunger that can't be conquered".

*Insights for today: When you don't know, you will suffer and end in destruction; and when you are wrongly informed, the same fate awaits you. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Dear Lord, guide me into your word and help me to know that which you want me to know in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
