Any change in our life is done by the Holy Spirit, who transforms us and moves us from glory to glory

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Welcome, dear friends! I am so happy to share with you the word God put into my heart today. I believe it´s going to strengthen you and make you wiser.

Yesterday we began to talk that we can reveal ourselves only when we enter the presence of God. Your own life and potential are hidden in Christ. Each of us is willing to transform, though, it can only happen in the presence of God and through having personal fellowship with God.

 

 

«But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.»(2nd Corinthians 3:18).

 

Any change in our life is done by the Holy Spirit, who transforms us and moves us from glory to glory. Are you able to accomplish something only the Holy Spirit can do? Surely not! However, by constantly watching the glory of the Lord with open face the Holy Spirit can transform us into the same image, from glory to glory.

I noticed there is a problem with persistence in our fellowship with God not with coming before Him. You probably experience the time when inspiration visits you and you are willing to get closer to God and have fellowship with Him. While those moments come rather rarely or very rarely they do not change anything in essence. We all need persistence! During fellowship with God Holy Spirit will work at your heart, at your character, at your relationships, at your way of thinking that, in turn, will transform you.

What does transformation mean?

It means change of your perception of the ongoing events, so that you start looking at things God´s way. Transformation means internal freedom, being what God wants you be, ability to fulfil God´s will in your life. In opposite case, our old way of life will prevent us from fulfilling the God´s will. The more sermons you listen to while reducing your time spent with God, the more shut your heart will be. That´s why many believers stay unchanged for years, regardless of all kind of sermons they have heard.

When God invites us for fellowship, it should not be treated as a punishment. God is not willing to steal our free time nor trying to burden us in any kind of way. Vice verse, fellowship with Him is our privilege, opportunity to transform, this is the time to reveal your inner self. Fellowship with God changes us internally! Global changes in your life start with changes in your heart.

 

 

«If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.» (Colossians3:1).

 

Always seek the things that are above! Seek Christ seated on the right hand of God then your life will be revealed and you will also be revealed with him in glory.

 

Let´s continue tomorrow!

Be blessed!

Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • The changes in our lives take place when we become the doers of the Word

    «Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does» (James, 1:21-25).

  • Why is it so important to hold on to eternal life?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    If you won’t be alert and pray, you won’t even notice how eternal life will slip away from you. Have you ever tried to hold a live fish in your hands? Even if you manage to take it, it can cunningly slip out of your hands. In the very same way eternal life can slip away from you without you even noticing. You won’t notice the moment when that happens. You could go on with your religious activities, attending church meetings, praying, reading the Bible, but not be on the way to eternal life. None of these things is able to guarantee to you that you will surely keep eternal life. You know, so many unbelievers do all these things: they go to church, read their Bibles, pray.

    God has no problem to change any situation; but He is more interested in changing us into the image of Christ. He wants to lift us up. He needs courageous sons and daughters who – like Jesus – spread His Kingdom on earth. God is looking for people whose hearts are full of faith and who do not doubt power and wisdom of the Almighty God.

  • Why do people run away from being accountable?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    1. Fear of rejection. Many people are afraid of others rejecting or despising them when they find out all the truth. Biblical accountability is fulfilment of the law of Christ which tells us to express our care for the others in the spirit of humility: «Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ» (Galatians, 6:1-2).

  • Sin is the root of the evil

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    «He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil» (1 John, 3:8). The devil deceived Adam and Eve who were reflecting the glory of God in the earth, because he hated God and all the things that brought glory to God. Adam and Eve were given a free will and a right to choose and they decided to disobey God and submit to the voice of the devil. That is how sin entered their life and the life of all of the generations after them. They gave themselves and their posterity into the hands of death. And since that time death has begun its reign over people.
