This condition to qualify as a child of God will shock you; Love Your Enemies. Lord Christ Jesus has made it clear that for one to qualify as a child of God he/she must be ready to let go and must were tolerance as a garment. This is made clear in his instructions in the Matthew gospel of chapter 5: 44-46.  “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?”   May God help us in compliance to his words. Serving God is not easy but with the Grace of God around us we will keep pushing untill we get there.

Brethren it is not enough to think we love God by mere attending church service or holy mass,yet we are involved in  lying, sexual immorality, hatred and pervert acts Such words should not be found nor mentioned amongst us, see -Ephesians 5 :3.  Any one who continues to live in such flesh or sin will be doomed. Ephesians 5:5. The word of God made it clear for us that if you must serve God be ready to put to end your oldselves ie giving away everything that hinders us from serving God and follow him. Ephesians 6 :11 Do not comform yourselves to the standard of this world, instead, let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mindset. Romans 12:2 You must love christ more than you love yourself or your friends nor loveones. "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10 :37 If you love christ you must be ready to abandon all your "ago", wealth
