CHANGE

-
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.* 

Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher has been quoted saying "change is the only constant in life" This quote is in sync with the Scripture. John the Baptist came and built his ministry on "Change (repentance) and Baptism" Mathew 3:2. 

 When Jesus also came, he started off from the same point of calling the Israelites to change (Repent)- Mathew 4:17.  In a very simple language, change would simply means repentance.

 *For you to experience Newness in  Year, you must first of all experience a NEW YOU.* It is the change you make in the year, that makes the year a brand new one.

If you continue living the same way you have lived in the past, you will get the same result you have been getting in the past.
It is foolishness to keep doing the same thing, the same way and expects a different result. 
 Wether you are deliberate about it or not, change must certainly take place.  But this change would be to your favour if you are intentional about it.

Transformation only comes through renewal (change) of your mind. The Greek word "anakainōsis"  translated into "renewing" can also mean *renovation,*  *complete change* for the better. 
Do you want to experience transformation this year? Then you must subject yourself to change. The Lord will not forcefully change any man without his consent or willingness.

You need to sit down and evaluate yourself. No one is going to do this Self-evaluation for you, you will have to personally review your life and see possible areas where change is needed. 

Once you discover the area of your life where change is needed, then commit same into God's hand. Then you will be on the right part to transformation.

If you want a change this year, you must be ready to see, hear, and do things differently. You must expose and open  yourself to God's word in a new way, for only God's word can bring about a true, total and lasting positive change in your life.

 *This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.Joshua 1:8* 

As you set your mind and heart to observe to do God's word this year, you will surely make your way Prosperous. 


 *BIBLE READING* 
Romans 12:1-2

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I receive grace to make necessary changes in my life this new year.

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
