Topic :Desire Transformation.
Memory Verse :Ephesians 5:26. He did this to dedicate the church to God by his word, after making it clean by washing it in water,

Bible Reading : Romans 12:1-2 GNB. Key Verse: v2.

So then, my brothers and sisters, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God — what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.

The primary reason Jesus came to the earth is to change or transform the lives of men through redemption. When men meet Jesus in their lifetime, everything about them changes for good because he transforms lives by the operations of his Spirit. When people go to church and their lives (character or the way they do things) are not being changed, it is a serious indicator that such people never met Christ in the first place, their church membership or any other religious involvements notwithstanding. The way we do things outwardly is always a reflection of the condition of our mind. Even the things we say all originates, from the mind. The fall of man affected the mindset of the ordinary man negatively, as it got polluted. This pollution stiffed and snuffed the life of God out of men. That’s the reason the carnal minded person can’t walk with God. “Those who obey their human nature cannot please God. But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to — if, in fact, God’s Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.” Romans 8:8-9.

In God’s original plan when he created man, he designed us to function after his likeness as to reflect his image. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:26-27 KJV. This likeness and image spoken of here is not about physical appearance, but it’s all about a spiritual nature. This nature of God is only found in his Spirit. That is the reason he gave man his life at creation by breathing into him. That breath was what made man a living soul by giving life to every department of his being. Jesus further emphasised that he was the sole carrier and giver of that life as creator, John 14 :6.

Today we have to open our hearts to the Spirit of God who is the only personality that has what it takes to transform any man. We have serve God with a heart that desires more of his transformational grace daily. We have to note that any work or gospel that is not targeted at changing the lives of men from living for themselves and obeying the old nature of sin to living to please God our creator is fake, no matter how sweet it sounds or who delivers it. God’s desire is that we place our lives on his altar of service in whatever capacity we find ourselves in the kingdom. He has given us his Spirit freely to restore that which was tampered with at the fall. By the help of his Spirit, we now have what it takes to discern and follow his ways only, when we are willing. One important instrument the Spirit of God uses to renew our mind as to align with him is his word. “He did this to dedicate the church to God by his word, after making it clean by washing it in water, in order to present the church to himself in all its beauty — pure and faultless, without spot or wrinkle or any other imperfection.” Ephesians 5:26-27.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for it is your will that I be like you. Help me to live in your presence all my days. Let your Spirit and word transform me daily. Let my life be one that always pleases you in Jesus glorious name…… Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 14:1-28.
