"I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue." (Revelation 7: 9).
👉No one is born a saint. Scriptures tells us We were all conceived in iniquity and brought forth in sin. Ps.51:5
👉Every saint has a past. They struggled with the same defects, guilt and vices common to all mortals and came out victorious, because they persevered and would not give up the fight in spite of how often and how hard they failed. "They went through the great persecution and had washed their robes clean by the blood of the lamb."
👉Everyone can become a saint. No tribe, tongue, religion, status, people and nation, temperament has monopoly of sainthood.
👉 It is every person's destiny and the worst tragedy in life is not to have become one. Yes. "What would it profit a man if he gained the whole world and lost his soul." The real loss, the real failure in life is to fail to become a Saint.
👉Saints have no other treasure in this world but God, and They seek him as though none else was. They are often broken about evil in themselves and in the world. They suffer along with others and are never aloof from human pain. They won't take advantage of others for their pleasure and selfish gains. They are never broken by insults, abuses and rejection they suffer for doing the right thing.
They won't relish in the downfall even of their enemies and will never pay back evil for evil. In sincerity of heart They seek for peace and labour to reconcile others yet abhor false compromises and pretences. They never give in to mediocrity and won't settle for that illusion of being holier than others, or that they had nothing more to change in themselves.
👉Saints are not hard to come by. I don't believe they are rare and endangered species. They live amongst us, we find them in our families, neighbourhood, at work place, in the church, in the market, in the parliament, in the field of play, even at parties. They fast and grieve in silence and alone but feast often with others.
👉Whatever your condition today, don't be discouraged. Know that Every saint had a past. Every sinner can have a future.
🙇♀A pure heart create for me O God, put a steadfast spirit within me. Amen.
