CHANGE 2

Text : Romans 12:2

 *And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.* 

Yesterday, we looked at a change that brings about transformation. Today, we shall be looking at the other side of the coin.

When you are not taking up the challenge for positive change (renewal), you will be left with the option of conformation to the world's system. It's either you are transforming or you are conforming. No middle ground!

Conformation comes to man naturally, but transformation is the change you must constantly embrace intentionally.

Conforming to the world is what every single being embraces right from birth. The only thing that could halt one's  conformation to this world is embracing Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. Even after you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you need to constantly be renewed by the word of God for you to keep experiencing transformation. 

 *For every Christian, mind renewal must be ongoing for transformation to be progressive.* 

The scripture warned us: "Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed" 

As you take a personal evaluation of yourself; Are there areas of your life you have been living  after the pattern of this world and its system? The Lord would have you respond to the gentle nudge of the Spirit as you behold the Lord's glory in mirror. 2Cor. 3:18.

While it takes a man who continually responds to the Spirit to experience transformation, it takes a man who continually responds to the flesh and its lusts to  stay in conformation to this world. And anyone who keeps on conforming to this world, will eventually perish with the world. 

 *As a child of God, you are only allowed to be conformed to the image of Christ.* 
Romans. 8:29, Philippians 3:10.


 *BIBLE READING* 
Romans 12:1-2

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, give me the grace to desist from conforming to this world in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
