So follow what? What are we as Christians meant to see and emulate in the people that we look up to? I thought about what common traits successful Christians share with each other it occurred to me that every Christian who has walked with God successfully has ALL these traits, every single one of them. I'm not talking about popular Christians but successful Christians, people who have clearly shown that they are fruitful over the years. I compiled a list of them that I want to share with you so read along and get ready to start adjusting your life;

1- Prayer: nobody can claim to know someone he doesn't communicate with; all successful Christians know this and devote so much time to doing this everyday. Funny thing is that nobody is used to praying at first but they all discipline themselves (more on that later) and overcome the natural laziness to do this. Even though when they start it doesn't make sense they always still keep at it until it does.

2- Fasting: Since the concept of fasting is denying the body what it needs so that the Spirit can grow in strength it then follows that the most spiritual people would fast a lot. You will never find any great man of God (not necessarily a Pastor) that doesn't live a life of fasting and prayer.

3- Study of the Word: 1 Peter 2:2 says, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:" again if growth is gotten by studying the Word of God then it follows that the most spiritual people as in the case of fasting would also study their bibles a lot. These people are led by the Word, it's firmly written in their hearts and no wonder David says in Psalm 119:11, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." It’s important to know that they not only study but spend an enormous amount of time meditating on the Word.
