DON'T COPY

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)

Let me state clearly from the start that today's message is not for those who are not the disciples of Christ. As a matter of fact, it is impossible for a non-disciple to comply, because he is not so wired.  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.Rom 8:7 KJV.

However,  there's grace for you to also come into the winning camp. All you need do is genuinely surrender to Christ's tutelage, and He will lead you to the right person who will teach you His ways. Titus 2:11-12.

Having ascertain that you are a disciple of Christ,  then,  it is time to hear His instructions for you :

1. *Don't copy:* There's is a natural tendency to copy the behavioural pattern and customs of this world. In fact,  we are living in a world where evils are celebrated and righteous living are despised. As Jesus' disciple, see to it that you walk contrary to the evil system of this world. 

2. *Let God transform you:* Even as a disciple, God will not force Himself on you. If you are not willing to be transformed and intentionally allow Him to work in and through you, you cannot be transformed. The only person that can transform you is God, if you will let Him. 

3. *Change the way you think :* God's intent is to change you into a  new person through the way you think. For God to bring about a change in your life,  it has to be through your thoughts  pattern. 

A true change is from the inside out and not the other way round. 

 *To know God's will for you,  God has to walk through your thinking faculty, and you must let Him do so, then you will know His good and pleasing and perfect will for you.* 

Bible reading: Romans 12:1-21.

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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
