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 DEADLY FRIEND

I had this friend I never knew was a foe till I understood its deadly traits.   The worst part?? I feed it myself unknowingly. Imagine feeding what kills you slowly. No, it's not an external being or thing but comes from within.  And no, it's not personal to me but a generic problem amongst millions of people out there. Comparison! Yes, comparison! It shows itself through three different forms :  Emotions , c ommunication   and   Identity . You would agree with me that these forms can also be components that constitute friendship. This is to elaborate how comparison poses as a friend while stating its significant harm. THE EMOTIONS INVOLVED  Some people think of comparison as a tool for growth. I mean, if other people's success and progress can keep you awake and thinking all the time, then you would want to do better. That's what you think, right?  Comparison would surely give you a lot of motivational lines like: "If my friend can do this, i can do i...

WHEN PURPOSE DOESN'T LOOK POPULAR

One of the basic need of humans is to be seen. The need to be wanted, accepted and approved by others. And in our world today, where visibility and popularity often connotes value, walking in the light of purpose can feel lonely and somewhat insignificant. It seems like everyone is moving faster, shining brighter, and getting noticed.  On the other hand, you who seek to live in obedience to God's instruction per time  don't draw attention. Your purpose looks slow, hidden, or even strange to others. What happens then? The truth is, God’s purpose for your life won’t always look popular. Sometimes, He calls you to build when no one else understands what you’re building. He calls you to walk a path that doesn’t make sense to the crowd. That's not really comforting, right? But understand that there's a difference between living for purpose and living for popularity. Purpose is about fulfilling God’s assignment for your life. It’s about obedience, faith, and surrender. Wheth...

HOW TO BUILD CONFIDENCE WITHOUT LOSING HUMILITY

You know, I truly love the virtue called humility and sincerely admire humble people. But you see folks that are extremely humble yet unapologetically confident — this, I can never resist. I could't help but wonder how they strike the balance until recently. You can see humility yet confidence is an aura they exude. I had to research on it and I discovered the "how-to" behind this amazing twist which I'll be unfolding here.  First off, let's understand this: T here is a thin line between confidence and pride. It takes some level of mastery to avoid breaking that line.  Have you ever tried to be confident but felt like you were being “too much”? Maybe you spoke up during a meeting, posted your small win online, or walked into a room with your head held high, then immediately wondered if you came off as proud. It’s something many struggle with: wanting to believe in themselves without seeming arrogant. Society often makes it worse by mixing up humility with self-dou...

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...

SHUT THAT WINDOW

There are reasons the windows of your house is meant to be shut, even if not completely. There should be limited access into the house. It helps prevent unwanted things from creeping into the house. In as much as the window was created to allow the reflection of the brightness of the day into the house and for ventilation, it must be closed to an extent, to avoid insects and unwanted substances intruding the house. In this context however, the windows that needs to be shut are the windows that leads to your heart. Your heart (physically and spiritually) are as important as the air you breathe, because the heart is the seat of core activities that keeps you alive and also moulds your life. Physically, your heart is the muscle at the centre of your circulation system. It pumps blood around your body as your heart beats. This blood sends oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body, and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and waste products. Literally speaking, you can'...

KEPT AWAY FROM GOD, YET UNNOTICED

If the devil wants to pull you away from God, he wouldn't need to show up with horns and fire neither would he come to you with outright denial. No, that's too obvious.  He’d be subtle, clever, and quiet. He’d use everyday life. He’d twist the good into distractions, and sin into freedom. He wouldn’t scare you — he’d SOOTHE YOU into separation from God in a way that seems harmless on the outside but destroying you from inside out. And you know what subtle individuals do: they cook up a well planned scheme, waits for your weakest moments and strike! We have to be conscious of the devil's devices and how he'll use it to slowly but effectively take us away from God. (2 Corinthians 2:11) 1. Comfort Over Conviction You are kept satisfied and comfortable so that you think you don't need God.  You get the job, the contract deals, the house, the relationship — life feels stable. Suddenly, prayer becomes optional. Church becomes your rarest go-to. You’re not against God, qui...

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...
