TRANSFORMER

-
Text : Romans 12:2

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

From our text,  it's obvious that you can be either of these two things :

1. A Conformist 

2. A Transformer.

Now,  to be a Conformist is very simple, just do nothing and flow with the trend(that's why majority of people are conformists). However,  we have been forewarned not to be a Conformist. "Do not be conformed to this world." *The system of this world is arranged to make men conform.* We live in a world where sinners and sinful acts are celebrated.

However, the standard of the Lord stands sure.  God’s solid foundation still stands. It has this inscription on it: “The Lord knows those who belong to him,” and “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from evil.” 2Timothy 2:19. 

To this end,  the word of God is coming to you today that you should be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That is,  to be transformed is a matter of 'your mind'.  Transformation comes when your mind is renewed. And your mind cannot be renewed if you are still in conformity with this world. 

When your mind is renewed,  you will be able to prove these three things :

1. *The good will of God:* The godly values and ethical attitudes. 

2. *The acceptable will of God.:*  What is put to test and finds out that the thing tested meets the specifications laid down by God. 

3. *The perfect will of God* : God's  plan and purpose for you. 

 Therefore, “Get away from them  and separate yourselves from them,”   declares the Lord,   “and don’t touch anything unclean.   Then I will welcome you (2Co 6:17). This is God's express instruction to you.  The only way to desist from being a conformist is to separate yourself from the worldly system.

ARE YOU A CONFORMIST OR A TRANSFORMER?

Bible Reading: Daniel 1: 1-20

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God,  I receive the help not to conform to this world any longer in Jesus name.

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
