The word for today is - Transform !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Transform !

Psalm 46:1,God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.God has saved each one that comes to Him for a work that He has pre-determined for each one of His children, the believers. He has given each one of His children a gift or gifts and we are to use these gifts and talents, for His glory. The believers are to be different. God has called His people to serve Him and to serve others. In the Bible the word "servant, servants, serve" appears a little over one thousand times. In the New Testament, the concept of service and servanthood is found on practically every page. Read Matthew 20:28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." The Bible says all believers are called to serve God and one another ( Others)! You have to understand that it's not about me or you, it's always about our Lord and Savior.It's in Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." God has prepared a work for us before we knew Him, before we even existed. In Ephesians 4:11 "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." The very purpose of God-chosen leadership in the Church is to serve God and others. We should dedicate ourselves fully unto God and His calling, this means to serve Him and others.We are not to conform any longer to the pattern of this world,we have to be transform. How? It's in Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."You see Paul tells us how this transformation is to take place, by "be transformed by the renewing of your mind." So you must understand this, everything begins with our thoughts we need to get into the word, and away from those things that draw us into ungodly behaviour and allow our minds to be transformed with Christ-like behaviours. We must feed our mind with the things of God and allow the Spirit of God to work in us. Understand this,living a transformed life is not easy, as a matter of fact it is a daily and ongoing process for the rest of your life . You have to understand this, God knows your heart, He never said that it would be easy. The word tells us that we will begin to exhibit the Fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians5: 22-25,But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !.
