YOU ARE A BIG PROJECT

Yeah, you saw it right! You are a project. An important one at that.

The question then is, how are you a project? And who is working on this project? 

Scripture says something interesting about this.

"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the spirit of God". [2 Corinthians 3:18]

It's as simple and as clear as the scripture said it. You are a project of the Holy Spirit. He is the one that does the work; putting you together, unraveling, teaching, pruning, making adjustments, fixing and repairing, all for one purpose...to be transformed into the same image from glory to glory.  What image?

The image of Christ.

That's the project the Holy spirit is on in your life... To bring you into the conformity of Jesus. To look like Him, speak like Him, talk like Him, think like Him, possess same mind with Him.

The above scripture says, "...just as by the spirit of God". It's obviously not by your might you can be like Jesus.

"I want to live right."
"I want to live a holy life."
"I want to change my habits and lifestyles that isn't glorifying God."
"I want to stop this addiction."
"I don't want to leave this immoral life anymore."
"I want to be pure."

I know you may have desires and heart cries in similitude to those confessions but you just can't do it by yourself. That's where you miss it. It will all end in futility.

It's not by power, it's not by might but by the spirit says the Lord. The work is His not yours. You aren't your project in this case, the Holy spirit is, so let Him.

And while you go through this process you should understand that the transformation is gradual. Any project that is worth while and highly valuable takes time. Building projects, infrastructural projects, even school projects. Any project at all, needs enough time. 

So don't expect your transformation process to be quick. It will take time before perfection.

You just have to yield yourself to the Holy Spirit to make out of you the already planned work on you (your utmost transformation).

I shared my experience last week on how Jesus changed me. Yeah, I was His project and still is.

There were lots of things I never liked in my life. Some habits, lifestyles, anger issues I needed to change.

Whenever I prayed to God to help me, I did it with the expectation that it will be immediate. And that led to frustration for me. I thought to myself, "is it that God isn't interested in helping me change?"

But unknown to me, the changed happened unnoticed. He was working on me from the inside out. I could no longer find those traits I repelled in me. I realized that He actually was taking it off from me little by little.

That's why whenever I ask the Holy Spirit to help me with a personal issue, I don't bother myself too much cause I'll one day realize that it's no longer there.

He doesn't fail at this work at all.

He prunes you of the ones you know and ones you don't know.

I've seen again and again that our transformation is very important to God. Yes!!!

Just give Him your life and He'll so structure it in a way that reveals beauty, glory, and His very life.

Recieve Jesus today. Only He can turn a messed life to a beautiful life. Only He can make a glorious person from a nobody.

Your past doesn't matter. What matters is what He wants to make out of you.

Give it all to Jesus.

Just thought this brief piece may encourage you.

God loves you .

MY LITTLE THOUGHTS!!!

I read something that kept me in thoughts for some time now and I saw a new light in it. "Therefore i say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat and what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on..." (Matthew 6:25) These are the questions i asked myself after reading it: • "Is the above scripture saying i should not bother about my life or ensure i make something out of my life?" • "Does it mean i should just allow life happen to me and accept whatever it brings to my table (my life)"? I thought it that way because that verse is literally saying,  "you know what, just relax. God got you. You don't have to work or stress yourself. He'll take care of you as He does to the birds of the air and lilies of the field. (Vs 26 & 28)." But same Bible says we should work. The word of God critically downplays laziness and idleness. "For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: T...

A GEN Z PROBLEM

You don't have to be surprised by today's blog title. I can assure you that there are challenges this generation are faced with that the previous generations didn't experience.  Just stay with me on this ride. In case you don't know what Gen Z is, GEN Z (Generation Z) is a term refered to individuals born between 1997 and 2012. It isn't really a professional term used to identify those born in those years but it was coined by few individuals. However, it's use gained wide spread around 2010 to 2015 particularly amongst marketers/advertizers, media outlets, researchers and youngsters especially in social media world. I said something about the previous generation known as the millennials (those born between 1981 to 1996) who didn't really face the problems of the 'Gen Z's. "What could it be? "  Simple, SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSURE. Prior to the 21st century (2000's), it is recorded that the world was already digitalized but the soci...

NOT JUST THE REGULAR CHRISTIAN

"I'm a very good Christian...a born again Christian at that." "I'm not just a regular Christian because I always go to church and partake in Christian activities." ...and you think that's enough reason to tag you a Christian beyond the ordinary? Please, before thinking you don't fall under the category of a regular Christian, I'd love you to read this article to the end with understanding. In many nations of the world, especially my resident country, Nigeria, many families and individuals acknowledge and believes in Christ which makes them Christians in a literal sense. It may be because it's a "religion" passed down as a family heritage or an influence from family members.  It may be because of christain social influences and networks. It can be exposure to christianity through education or basically for selfish motives (what they can benefit from God). Not all Christians are TRULY Christians in its true context. We ind...
