Real Christianity dominates the environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Years ago, the Lord showed me in a vision, a particular instrument that just raised the temperature of the environment to its own temperature. I didn&#8217;t know what it was until I went to check. I said, \u201cWhat&#8217;s that?\u201d The Lord said, \u201cThat&#8217;s a thermostat. A thermometer is different from a thermostat.\u201d I said, \u201cWhat&#8217;s the difference?\u201d He said, \u201cA thermometer reads the temperature of its environment, while a thermostat raises the temperature of its environment to its own temperature.\u201d That is what Christianity is supposed to be. A Christian is not a thermometer to reflect the temperature of his environment. If you are a pastor that lives in a place where men are polygamists, will you become a pastor with three wives?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Christian is a thermostat of God that takes his environment to his own level. If you will qualify for God\u2019s end-time army, you must carry the spirit, the posture and the attitude of world-class citizens and engage in the practices and the behavior of Kingdom citizens.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-simple\">\n<p><strong>PRI\u00c8RE:<\/strong> Lord, help me not to be dominated by my environment but to be a standard-setter anywhere I find myself in Jesus\u2019 name.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"tie-padding  has-padding-left has-padding-right\" style=\"padding-left:5%; padding-right:5%; padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0;\">\n\n\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>LA BIBLE EN UN AN :<\/strong> Jeremiah 1:1-2:30, Philippians 4:1-23, Psalm 75:1-10, Proverbs 24:17-20\n&nbsp;\n<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ollowing on from yesterday\u2019s devotional, the second category in the human classification is the World Class group.
