THE BEAUTY OF A TRANSFORMED LIFE( By MINISTER SUSAN)

John 4:1-15- this is the story of the Samaritan woman who had an encounter with the Lord, the one whose life was completely changed with that one encounter.
This shows that whoever meets with the Lord remains not the same, but transformation takes place. Her life was completely changed and her purpose was realized, for she brought many more to the Lord. 
1 Corinthians 5:17- all who are in Christ Jesus are a new creation, the old is gone and the new is here.

Therefore if we are in Christ Jesus there should be a visible change. How then can we know that there has been transformation in anyone's life? Here's how:  
  • Christ in you - Galatians 2:20 it is no longer us who live  but Christ who lives in us therefore our lives should reflect the life and character of Christ in us.
  • Forgiveness and love - that we will love and forgive others just as God did in Christ. Psalms 103:3;10
  • Leading a fruitful life - all those that are in Christ shall be known by their fruits, what you say, do and think should reflect Christ. Matthew 7:20.
  • Speaking the language of the Lord - your speech should be as oracles from God. Our words are life and healing. 1Peter 4:11.
Brethren there are things that hinder transformation, things that pull us away from the shaping and chastening of the Lord. What then are some of these things?
  • Pride of life - pride makes us think we know everything, it separates us from the love of God. James 4:6; 2 Chronicles 23:26.
  • Lack of spiritual and self discipline.
  • Doubt and sin.
 The beauty of a transformed life is seen not only in grand moments, but in the small, daily choices—to love when it’s hard, to forgive when it hurts, to stand firm when it’s uncomfortable, and to trust even when we do not understand. Transformation is evidence that grace is at work, that no one is beyond change, and that every life surrendered to God becomes a testimony of His power.

    Nëse keni tentuar të mbeteni shtatzënë pa sukses, mos e humbni shpresën - ka zgjidhje që funksionojnë vërtet.
    Unë personalisht e rekomandoj Dr. Dawn. Ai kryen rituale të fuqishme të fertilitetit që kanë ndihmuar shumë gra të mbeten shtatzënë brenda vetëm 4 deri në 6 javë - madje edhe ato që përballeshin me sfida serioze të fertilitetit.
    Nuk po e them vetëm këtë - unë jam një dëshmi e gjallë. Pasi luftova për një kohë të gjatë, më në fund mora rezultatin tim pozitiv dhe kjo ma ndryshoi jetën plotësisht.
    Ai gjithashtu ka ndihmuar shumë gra në të gjithë Rumaninë, përfshirë Bukureshtin, të cilat tani janë shtatzëna ose tashmë nëna.

Giving: First Fruits

Last week we started to talk about giving, and looked extensively at tithing. I believe we now have more knowledge on this topic, and we will enjoy tithing and the benefits of the same. Today I want us to look at first fruits as a type of giving, and then later look at giving as a whole and learning about how to give cheerfully. If you missed on the teaching on tithing, I would urge to go back to the blog and read it, as most of the principles we will be talking about today will be a build-up to what we shared on regarding tithing. 2.      First fruits This is simply the first increase of produce. Despite being extremely important to us and to God, it is also one of the most ignored areas of giving. For many, it is the same as tithing, and for others it is optional. Though it shares some similarities with tithing, it is not the same as tithing.  Let us learn more about first fruits from the scriptures. Genesis 4:3-4 And in the process of time ...

Serving God Has Never Been in Vain

Image
Sometimes in serving God we may feel like it's all in vain, like there is no benefit to what we are doing. Time and time again God reminds us in His Word that serving Him has never been in vain. Let us look at a few stories from the Bible that demonstrate this, so that you and I can be encouraged to keep serving God, and serve Him with all we have.  2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”  2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”  3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour ...

Overcoming the Enemies of Our Destinies

There are enemies ready and armed to prevent us from getting to our destinies. Wherever there is a vision, there is opposition.  Elisha was given by God to Elijah as a servant, and as a result he received a double portion of the anointing on Elijah's life, when Elijah left (2 Kings 2:15). God in turn gave Gehazi to Elijah as a servant, who sadly could not get to his destiny because he was overcome by the enemies of destiny (2 Kings 5:20-27).  As a Christian, be alert as there are enemies out to hinder you from getting to your destiny, and walking in it.  In John's open letter to the churches in Asia, John addresses these enemies: 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;...
