HAPPY NEW DAY, KEYS TO TRANSFORMATION FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, CELEBRATE U CELEBRATE LIFE

Today was B. Joshua's birthday. Earlier as i was awaking i heard music blaring, children's voice ringing, halleluyah. While coming back from the church, i saw the poster made for him he just turned 10. Before leaving the compound for evening fellowship, Daddy and Mommy hollad i should come and jubilate, said was in a hurry to get to church. I was supposed to meet Pastor quarter to 6pm so we conclude on our website project. After i got to church, barely a few minutes after 6pm heavy rain started falling i wonder how they coped.
In church, Pastor taught us keys to transformation, like if we want to see positive changes around us:
1. Burden - carrying a burden on behalf of a party like Jesus did for the whole world when he came to die for humanity so we could overcome sins. We need to allow a certain challenge to motivate us to find a cure.
2. Sacrifice - the sacrifice of Jesus is yet another good example. Pastor shared how some presidents in asian countries ride on bicycle like commoners just to achieve their goals. In Nigeria, that is almost inconceivable because Nigerians love big manism. God will aid us to mimick Jesus in every aspect as necessary like the way he meekly rode on a colt to fulfil destiny.
3. Astounding workmanship - A man in Exodus had outstanding skill and cun in working metals into elaborate patterns. He was a hot cake. We should shine in our areas of work. Pastor Niyi shared that when he got into a certain organization in which he worked, they were using an archaic approach to solve a problem. It got into his soul, was burdened thought how can i help this people to use 21st century approach to tackle this issue. As God would have it, he gave them a solution that replaced what they might have paid for with a budget of $500,000. We shall bring astounding change in all areas we find ourselves in Jesus name. The bible says that those who do not work should not eat. Work is the capacity to use energy to do something useful for your self or others. Some go to office, just watch videos. Politicians in National Assembly, end up throwing chairs at themselves. Some spend working time just chatting. We should realise that work and working time is meant to be used to add value to our places of work and those we work with. God will help us apply this virtues in Jesus name. Additonally, just like Joseph and Daniel that had outstanding personalities and approaches to their work, such shall be revealed in us in Jesus name.
I got back home party was still on, just about to end. I went round shared shalom with almost everybody, wished long life and propserity to the celebrant. Got my birthday food and mirinda which i shared with relish with my younger brother who was resting regaining his strength with additional this guy is going to be a young holy Samson.
The spirit of God shall rest upon us and we shall see vision, prophesy like King David and be of mighty strength to God's glory.
Love shall gravitate our life style. Kingdom love amen.
We gathered to pray, focus was on the sheep and goat. Which are you? Goats are stubborn and usually highly disobedient. Sheeps are meek, humble and submissive. Goats characterise the evil one while sheeps characterise those who follow Jesus.
Jesus is the perfect sample of the sheep in the fullness of it's like-able character. Though he was God, he emptied himself of all reputation, out of love for mankind and took upon himself the form of a servant. Being found in the fashion of a man, he humbled himself in obedience to God even to the point of death on the cross. He became the 'lamb' of God; via his sufferings, this man learnt obedience. Because of the love and sacrifice he exhibited and the depth of it, God has raised his name higher than every other name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow on heaven, earth, beneath and everywhere confessing that Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah!
I call upon us all to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, thanking him for dying for our sins and resurrecting to help us, begging God to have our names written in the book of life so we serve him for the rest of our days inching towards the kingdom where the floor is made of gold, God is the the light, and we shall live forever more sharing deep love with one another in new divine unimaginable bodies that shall never rot or be plagued with death, sadness or infirmity...in Jesus name we make heaven. AMEN.
