Changed people think and act like God III

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Welcome, precious children of God to our column «Daily word for spiritual strength»! I pray, so that God´s mercy fills your life today.For a long time already we´ve been reasoning about God´s philosophy of transformation. Examples taken from the Bible show to us that transformed people think and act God´s way. They treat other people the way God does. God uses our relationships to show us what is inside our hearts and what we need to change.Talking about transformation we mean changes of our point view, changes in our hearts, in our characters and our circumstances. Any changes should take place within us first. I have to allow God to change myself and my character. Jesus said: 
«There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.» (Mark 7:15).
 followed by: 
«If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!» (Mark 7:16).
 Let God help us to have ears to hear what the Lord says to us! A transformed person knows how to treat those who feel high and also those who feel depressed. One of the signs you are transformed shows your right attitude towards other people. How do you treat other people? God will always surround you by people, since He wants you to have inner harmony and peace. If you lose your peace while looking at a person it proves you need changes. Things which come from man´s heart not from outside defile him. Take this word personally and God will change you and your attitude. You don´t have to remain a slave of your sorrow, fear, unforgiving, envy and bitterness. You can get free of all this stuff today. You are able to look in the eyes of people with love while having deep peace inside your heart.I want you to treat all the relationships you have as a tool God is using to transform you. You probably keep on asking God to change you. Certain people God will sent on your way is the answer to your prayers. Hurry not to break any relationships with people, or you are in risk to miss the opportunities provided to you by God to transform you. Let´s pray together:«Lord, thank You for this word. I thank You for my ability to hear and understand Your word. You said we are mislead without the knowledge of the Scripture and God´s power. Thank You, Jesus, that we will not be mislead any more, because now we know the Scripture and we have Your power. I accept this message about God´s philosophy of changes for myself personally. I believe all circumstances around me will change. I believe my relationships with my family, friends, my children and colleagues will change.Father, Your word says man´s heart is tricky and completely defiled. Only You know what is inside my heart, I do not. Therefore, I am asking You, Lord, remove it all and cleanse my heart. I thank You, Lord, for helping me with this through my relationships I have or I have to have. Also, thank You, Lord, for Your mercy that leads me to repentance every day. Thank You, Jesus, for every circumstances You permit in my life in order to transform me into the likeness of Christ!I lean on You, Lord, because changes can be achieved by the Holy Spirit alone, not by human power nor by armed forces. Help me to get transformed into Your likeness! Thank You, Lord, for letting me know Your truth and Your power that transforms me and my character! All glory and gratitude are Yours, my Lord!» See you tomorrow!God bless you abundantly!Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

    “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:5-6). This Scripture confirms that the one who sows and labours – even if it takes tears – will doubtlessly reap with joy. If we use our God given seed correctly, which means if we sow the seed even with tears then God promises us abundant harvest and lots of joy. All these parables of Jesus tell us of the kingdom of God.

    What does it mean to be stirred? When such things happen due to the changes taking place in people and through people the latter can´t remain indifferent to God any more. Nowadays people live wrapped in their problems, immersed in their own world, as though there is no God at all. They use some duty phrases in their speech like “For God´s sake”, “Thanks God”, but there is no God in their hearts at all. It happens to them just because they have never experienced the real God in their lives. God is a care taking father. Such people have not felt how real the God is, how powerful and Almighty Creator He is.

    «There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death» (Proverbs, 16:25). A wise man learns from the mistakes of others. I believe that this message will help us stop and not take the wrong path, since it won’t give us any fulfilment.Yesterday we discussed the fact that Solomon tried to find happiness and satisfaction in pleasures of life. He realized that all these things are vanity and „grasping for the wind”. We saw the things Solomon sought as the source of enjoyment. First, he tried different delicacies. They brought satisfaction to Solomon’s body, but he soul remained empty and hungry.

  • The fruitfulness of a Christian starts with the discovery of God’s will in all areas of his life and the readiness to fulfills it

    «And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God» (Romans, 12: 2).We are filled with the knowledge of God’s will through renewing our minds by the Word of God. Through the renewal of our minds we learn to think as God thinks and look at our lives through His eyes. You won’t be able to please God if you are not doing His will for your life. In order to do His will you first need to discover it. That is why wise people who want to bring real fruit for God through their lives devote themselves to discovering and comprehending what God wants to do in their lives and through their lives. We have pointed out many times that a person can become fruitful by renewing of his or her mind through personal fellowship with God, prayer and intensive study of God’s Word.

  • The counselling II

    A good counsellor should help a person to perceive his problem from God’s viewpoint. People must first notice the problem, and only then they will have any interest in solving it. Very often we do something wrong simply because we do not believe our actions to be erroneous. So, one of the tasks of any counsellor is to open person’s eyes so that he or she can discover what actually is going on in his or her life, how God sees the situation, realize that his or her lifestyle is causing problems. It is a very important quality that we must develop in ourselves so that we can be effective in helping others.

    We concluded that we are hands, feet, mouth and heart of our God. If we refuse to collaborate with God, He will not be able to act or fulfil His plan in our cities and our countries. We stopped at what do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities? To make it happen we must become obedient disciples of Jesus Christ. God uses this kind of people to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth.Obedient disciple is one who moves and works for God, not sitting and doing nothing, so God can move through such person.
