"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will" - Romans 12:2. Are there any areas that Christians are conforming to today? What do the bible say in each of the different aspects of our lives? Talk of issues of class thus causing division in the church - I belong to this class, I cannot associate with so and so, what wld we be talking about? We have nothing in common - and yet the bible commands us to live in unity (Psm 133 ... for there the Lord commands his blessing, even life forever more). So do we complain when blessings bypass us! Brethren, lets be transformed by the power of the holy spirit! Its sometimes not easy, but when we yield to him, things are never the same. Be transformed today and do not conform to that which is not in favour for Christ Jesus!
Speaking of transformation, another term coming to my mind is liberation! I attended a Sunday service last Sunday in a congregation where according to me there was total liberation thus resulting to true worship. I was more than blessed to see the whole church engage in worship and adoration of the most high God in a way that showed true liberation and transformation! What holds us back when it comes to worship our God? Do we actually know and believe it and perceive it - that he owns us - all we have is from him, that were it not from him, we would not be what we are or where we are! Oh I long for total transformation in my life, I yearn for more of the spirit in me - thats its no longer about me, but about he who died on the cross for me. He took my shame that I may be blessed, what shall therefore hinder me from giving him my all! I surrender to you Jesus the Lord and master of my life! Mold me to fit in your holy will! May this be our earnest prayer day in day out, for besides the Lord, all else will pass away!! Amen.
