Hello everyone and good morning! I’m just giving all of you my good morning face. This is one of the faces I own. How many faces do you own up to? As you all might have noticed, we all have made many faces in our lives because as human beings we show how we feel inside by the faces we display every minute of the day. We all have heard the following sayings: poker face, smiley face, long face, stupid face, petty face, funny face, happy face. Why is it that we have so many faces that we use in our day to day affairs? Even the law takes what is called a mug shots and files it in a criminal log book. All of us at one time or another have told someone how we feel about them without even saying a word. Some of our deepest moments of love have been expressed by the look in their faces. On the other hand, moments of being mad or out right angry have been expressed by the look of the face. Look at the person near you and ask them what type of face they’re wearing now.
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 1:4-8
It’s so import to note that the very look of your face to an individual can either bring them to Christ or run them away. There is a serious concern for every baptized, Holy Ghost filled believer to contend with. Listed below are 5 Faces you should look out for:
- The faces of gossip, James 1:26
- The faces of greed, Luke 12:15
- The faces of liars, Ephesians 5:6
- The faces of an unbeliever, 2 Corinthians 6: 14-18
- The faces of deception, Romans 16:17-27
If you’re claiming to be a child of the most high Jesus, then what kind of faces are you presenting to people you are around every day? Are the faces you show those of the attributes of Jesus Christ? Are you being a light?Would Christ be proud or would He be disappointed? Has your bulb gone dim? Or maybe it’s out. Was it ever even on?
Be careful of the faces you show the world because they could draw people to Christ or run them away. Remember the face you show people is not always the face they see. Your faces will always tell the truth on you.
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:1-3
