Joyful Habits Christians Should Possess

By Mark Sanders


Believers who totally surrender their lives to Christ always attest that they experience inner peace, joy, and contentment in whatever they do. These people assert that because God's presence abides in them, their views and perspectives about the people they interact with and the world at large change entirely. People exhibit different kinds of habits on earth. These joyful habits of Christians have been listed here.

They do not neglect the constant practice of giving generously to those in need at regular intervals. They share their personal belongings with people and believe strongly that because it is an instruction from God, more blessings and special favor will be attracted to them. These possessions may be in the form of sowing seeds to people who may need it, good clothes, money, free scholarships and other special gifts to them.

Active worshipers of God depend on the scriptures for survival. They pray regularly and abide by the word of God because of their belief that constant study of the scriptures and effective prayers will make them grow spiritually. They choose specific places such as mountains and other secret praying centers to carry out this assignment.

Evangelism is another effective tool that believers use to strengthen their faith and spiritual growth. To some, it is a task that must be carried out in order to save the unbelievers from eternal damnation. The pastors and leaders of the churches lay much emphasis on the importance of spreading the gospel to different parts of the world. Most of them conduct special programs that are geared towards promoting gospel outreaches and other special events that will draw people closer to God.

Elders and teachers act as counselors to the children in the ministry. Most times, these young people visit them on regular occasions to learn how to behave well in their homes and the society. They also learn the principles and values of the community and form certain habits that are expected of them in their various schools and organizations.

Talented singers practice day and night in order to develop new songs and praises that would be used to edify the souls of brethren during church services and other weekly activities. These Christians get inspirations from God on how to form new melodies that will encourage other members. At regular intervals, they form groups and act as gospel messengers and facilitators of various activities that are carried out in the church.

Worshipers always converge at a point to discuss vital issues that will help to build their faith in Christ. They are advised not to associate themselves with bad friends that will influence their lives negatively and lay much emphasis on togetherness and fellowship with brethren. They also conduct several meetings that will help to monitor the activities of the weak brethren among them. For instance, programs such as follow-up and evaluation are set up to encourage their members to grow spiritually and continue to abide by the principles of God.

Regular visits are made to people who need special care. Special occasions such as Christmas and others can be periods when the orphans and the motherless babies are visited. On these occasions, these less privileged people are reminded of God's love towards them and are also encouraged to continue trusting Him.
