ATTITUDE-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.

Coincidence or not, it has been proven that if knowledge, hardwork, and attitude are written numerically,  it's only attitude that will add up to 100%.

That is, if letter A is 1, B=2, C=3 all through till Z which is 26. Then, when you add up each letter in ATTITUDE according to the numbers they represent it will give 100.

It is your attitude towards life that makes life 100% or otherwise. "Your attitude determines your altitude", goes the popular saying.

If you will be sincere with yourself,  you would have noticed one attitude or the other in yourself that is not so comely and that you will like to do away with.

However,  sheer determination alone is not sufficient to change a bad attitude.  It takes the workings of God in a man via His words to alter his attitude. 

Psalms 119:9 says How can a young man keep his behavior pure? By guarding it in accordance with your word.

 *Any behaviour that is not guarded by God's word will fall short of God's standard,* even though such behaviour  may be praised in this world. 

As a child of God, you must know that you can't conform to this world and its systems and be transformed into God's image at the same time. 
It's either you are conforming or you are  transforming. 

The only thing that can lead to a positive attitude however is transformation from within.

Bible Reading :Romans 12: 1-2.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, give me the grace to embrace mind renewal through daily meditation in your word.

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
