BE TRANSFORMED(2)

-

Text : Romans 12:2

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.(NLT)

Having known that our  transformation is very important, we must therefore seek this experience wholeheartedly and dilligently.

".....be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" Romans 12:2. Our transformation comes by and through our mind renewal. Transformation is a continuous and an ongoing  process. Your mind cannot be transformed by mere wishful thinking. It takes your active participation with God to experience transformation.

LET'S quickly look at the following participation we must undertake to experience continuous transformation.

 *1. Get in the Word.* 

Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

The word of God is a purifier. It's a cleanser. Though the word of God is the purifier, yet it your responsibility to present yourself before the word for it to perform its cleansing work.

When the word of God permeates your mind,  it changes your pattern of thoughts, worldviews and perspectives. It makes you see and receive God's thoughts and views. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly....."Colossians 3:16. When the word dwells in you richly, the result is Transformation.

 *2. Meditation in the word* 

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.Psalms 1:2.

 *3. The Blood of Jesus*  

Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify your conscience from sinful deeds so that you can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.Hebrews  9:14  

The Blood of Jesus cleanses our conscience from evil and sinful deed. We must continually come under its cleansing and purging power.

 *Ou//r transformation comes through the word in our MOUTHS and in our HEARTS continually.* 

Bible reading: Mathew 17:1-6.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
