You read it right… Christians are LOSERS…

I’ve been giving this so much thought. And as the days passed by, the more I felt compelled to write (rather, blog) this article.

I made this conclusion right after a pastor in one of our ENLI sessions in Victory Christian Fellowship (VCF) sometime between August to November last year. He recalled his encounters with the young Christian leaders in their school during his college days.

He recalled that he thought of those youth leaders as “three-dimensional losers”… because they seem to be “losers” from every angle. And that statement sounded so funny… and TRUE.

That instance I thought, “Yeah, true enough, you are a loser when you’re a Christian”.

In history, many believers lost a lot of things. Their family, fame, power, influence, money, name it, they lost it.

Let’s try to look at some people.

Joseph (the Dreamer) lost his family and his reputation.

Moses lost his possession, power and fame and the comfort of the new home.

Job lost his family, possession and good health.

The apostles let go of their jobs.

See what I mean?

Christians are LOSERS.

I bet you will agree with me now, the third time I stated it.

Right?

I guess so.

Again, let’s look back in history and learn from it.

Joseph became influential and powerful in Egypt, and helped save his family and the whole Egypt from famine.

Moses became God’s instrument to free the Israelites and noted as one of the greatest leaders in history.

Job regained his health and wealth.

The Apostles became the first movers and shakers of the church and are noted for their works up to now.

All these happened after they lost EVERYTHING they knew “important” to them, in exchange of seeking God.

I have my own share of same “truth”.

I lost my domestic partner. I lost my job. I lost money. I lost a lot.

I became a “LOSER“. But during those “losing streaks”, I found God.

Finally, the greatest “loser” of all is Jesus himself.

Why? How?

Jesus gave up His life, in order to save us all.

Wow! That’s the price of “losing” something in order to gain bigger things.

What a way to lose, right?

That’s how God works. We won’t be able to fathom it, but definitely, God knows the best.

Now, if that is what this world call a loser… then I want to be in line with those “LOSERS”.

I, Rey Belen, “LOSER” of this world… but winner in Christ.

Are you going to take that same oath to? Just in add your comment (or oath) in the comment box.
