SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION: Let your Life be transformed in the Spirit of God- Being born again is not enough to please God, WALK FURTHER in the character of Christ Jesus to please God and be allowed to join God's children in all the glorious freedom they enjoy.

Praise God Church!!

Glory to God if you have given your life to Christ Jesus of Nazareth, for the Bible (Romans 3:22 NLT) puts it as the way you become right with the LORD God. Besides the many miraculous signs performed by Christ Jesus in the old times, the miraculous signs documented in the Bible to date were particularly intended for you as a Christian to raise your faith and believe with no doubt that Christ Jesus is the only true Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing in Christ Jesus as a christian you have life through Christ Jesus' name (John 20:31 NLT). This means that without Christ Jesus, you live a life of death, decay, trouble, suffering, evil thoughts and wickedness with all its desires for sin. The reason you are conformed to sin is because as a christian, you allow to be controlled by other powers that control you to sin, yet you are meant to surrender yourself to Christ Jesus so as to be full of the ability to walk in righteousness, salvation and the true hope.   

As such in all worship of the LORD our God who is no God of the dead but of the living (Matthew 22:32 KJV), as a Christian with life, you are always in pursuit of spiritual transformation because the control of sin forces you to sin even when you surely would not want or intend to sin. The question is, why are you a Christian and yet still conformed to sin?

Why you are a Christian and yet still conformed to sin, groaning and struggling with sin? 

Still conformed to sin:

Most of us when we give our lives to Christ and become born again, we forget that we previously were born of the bound womb and born to a bound world (Galatians 4:22-26 KJV). You are either born to a sinful woman in bondage or a free woman who has given her life to Christ Jesus and has been made right with God before you make the personal decision to give your own life to Christ. But the conviction goes even beyond your parents, the conviction is also found in the world in which you are born- you have to mind that this world is full of evil and you have to always walk by the control of the Holy Spirit so as not to be tempted by the wrong customs and desires this world would want to make you believe to be right. 

So why you are troubled and keep suffering when you are a Christian is because much as in your mind, you confess to be born again, in your body- your practices and all you speak are of the desires of this world. Besides confessing all you care about (speak and do) is not pleasing God, instead you prefer to please the people of this world (your practice of church going is in pleasing your local church pastor- instead of attending church to worship, praise and give thanks to God you go to church to look out for pastor so and so- this is idolatry yet as a born again christian your faith must be based on you being made right with God by trusting in only Christ Jesus and not your pastor to take away your sinful ways. To others your practice of church going is based on the church gatherings (numbers, peers and colleagues that attend church)- you pray because my friend so and so has gone to church and not because you go to praise and worship God). By this as Christians we confess with our own tongues to be followers of Christ Jesus yet we contradict our own selves by not obeying the customs of being born again Christians. The Bible emphasizes this by saying, "... not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves..." (Romans 2:13-14 KJV). The LORD does not give you a free pass of enjoying the freedom of life and peace because the people you call non Christians are practicing the good deeds the LORD expects you to practice yet you who has even confessed to be a born again Christian instead of practicing them even better you are mocking your God- the non born again Christians appear to do more good deeds and you appear to do more evil yet born again or not we are obliged to do good and follow the will of God not the sinful desires that we practice and continue to do even after confessing to be born again.   

As such we say we are born again and Christians yet we continue to walk in our old sinful ways, thinking of sinful things, abusing people, cheating colleagues, pretending, telling lies, worshiping idols. Your lives are still full of wickedness and sin (Romans 1:28-32 NLT) yet you claim you are born again and deserve the glorious freedom enjoyed by the true children of God. As a born again Christian, you are fully aware of the consequences of not doing God's will, yet you remain disobedient, with the hope that you will repent and you intentionally continue to speak and practice wickedness and sin, the worst offense being that as a Christian you are well aware of the wrong deeds yet you encourage others to do the same for they use you as reference to justify their own deeds. You have been living a transaction life- you have been living for yourself in the selfish you; and now you have to start living a transformed life as a christian- live for the glory of God through Christ, stop doing things for yourself and do for God so that you live in life and peace and all promised freedom of the children of God that you have to share in Christ Jesus.  

Groaning and struggling with sin:

You continue to groan and struggle with sin because of your attitude. When you confess to be born again you forget to shift your attitude and believe that much as you are human by confessing and surrendering yourself to Christ Jesus you are transformed with Christ into the Spirit and are dead to the desires of the flesh. Galatians 2:20-21 NLT says, " I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not one of those who treats the grace of God as meaningless. For if we could be saved by keeping the law, then there was no need for Christ to die." Do not think that you are in your struggles alone, God is with you in all struggles. Through the Holy Spirit, Christ works with and in you for He is aware you are weak by yourself, all He expects of you is to trust in Him so that you allow Him work in you- failure to do that and you think you are still alone is what causes you to stumble and you start to groan and struggle yet with Christ in you there should have been rest. Allowing Christ work in you allows Him help you want to obey God's will, giving you the ability to do what is right. Now whenever you feel alone know that Christ lives in you, so instead of panicking to allow sin take advantage of you and put you through groaning, start talking to Christ Jesus who lives in you, talk about your constraints, your sins, your temptations, your groans, your troubles and sufferings as you ask for Christ's guidance and You will surely stop groaning and struggling with sin.

You need to know that in your sinful nature, sin will make you get comfortable that you start believing that the sin is a fact of life that even when you want to do what is right you inevitably do what is wrong. Romans 7:23 NLT, shows that much as you try to get out of the trap by yourself, there seems to be another law at work within you that is winning over the war with your mind and makes you a slave to the sin within you. By the groans and strains from the struggles, you then be a miserable person yet you continue to claim that you are a Christian. You start to wonder- I became a born again Christian to be free from sin now what is wrong with me that I am not free. The problem has been with your attitude, now refocus. All along you have been a Christian but your problem was in failing to fully trust in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you thought you could spiritually transform yourself- something which was impossible. Now that you know the truth, know that your answer to being free from the sin, the struggles, the groaning, the suffering in in Christ Jesus our Lord. Start refusing to be controlled by your sinful nature and allow Christ Jesus' Spirit to control you. 

So now how do you make amends? How do you allow your life that is now full of desires of the flesh BE SPIRITUALLY TRANSFORMED to the life in the spirit of God.

How can you be transformed from a life of the flesh to life in the Spirit of the LORD?

For you to live in the life of the Spirit of the LORD, you now have to belong to Christ Jesus. The Bible (Romans 8:3-4 NLT) says that the law of Moses could not transform you to understand that you could not save yourself from your sinful nature and this prompted God to send us His only Son in a human body like yours to save you. In your human sinful nature God saw that you could not fulfill what he intended of the law since your sinful nature was instead using the same law to take advantage of the goodness intended and was instead tempting you. To put a stop to this was only by the coming of Christ Jesus and even today, you can only avoid being tempted and defiled by your sinful nature through Christ Jesus. The destruction of sin is only through Christ Jesus being the only accepted sacrifice for our sins and by this sacrifice, only you who refuse to follow your sinful nature but follow the Spirit of the LORD, the requirement of sin that would have defiled you, the Lord has already stood in the gap for you so fear not and follow God boldly even though you may be seeing yourself as weak and in flesh.

The Bible (Romans 6:4 NLT) says that, "...just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father..." in the same way you "also may live new lives." Therefore you have to re-confess, forgive all those you had a grudge on and accept Christ Jesus as your Lord and savior afresh. The Bible (Romans 6:6-7 NLT) says that by re-accepting Christ even when we previously did, we renew our relationship with God and in so doing our old sinful selves are crucified with Christ and in that way the power of sin that controlled you looses control over you and you seize to be a slave to sin- that way you be free from the power of sin, and the consequences of wickedness can not be implied upon you.    

The fact is that no matter whether christian or not. When God sets you free from sin, it does not give you liberty to go on sinning because when you go on sinning you choose sin, wickedness, death, decay, and that becomes your master. However when you choose God, you obey him, follow His will and in that way you receive His approval. Following God and obeying his will is you accepting to be controlled by righteousness, for you become holy and sin can no longer take control of you. The Bible (Romans 6:20-23 NLT) reveals that, by following righteousness and being holy, the LORD fills you with the ability and character of discipleship that you start to be ashamed of the things you used to do, all those things that ended you into doom. God now expects you to do deeds that are of holiness and approved by Him for you to have eternal life.    

Now that you are freed from your old sinful nature God expects you to truly serve him with no excuses. The Bible (Romans 7:6 NLT) says that the way you have to serve God now is, "...not in the old way by obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way, by the Spirit." God is concerned of you as a Christian to always pursue to doing good and avoid sin at all costs because the old sinful nature from which he frees you only uses God's good will shown to you in the ten commandments for its own evil purposes. The Bible (Romans 8:14 NLT) says that, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." So stop doing things and saying things to please the world. Be bold, believe and fully trust in the Spirit and He shall lead you to the true freedom of God's Children, giving you the right to share in the treasures and everything God gives to Christ Jesus. 

So now the question is; is being born again enough for you to join God's Children in the glorious freedom of the life and peace that they enjoy as they are excluded from death and decay suffered by those that are not revealed as God's Children? 

Is being born again enough for you to be revealed as God's Child, worthy of sharing in the glorious freedom of His children and the treasures God gives to his Son Christ Jesus- the full rights as children of God, and the new bodies God has promised?

Just saying you are born again is not enough to be called a child of God. one has to do more than just confessing to be born again. The Bible (Romans 8:17-18 NLT) says that if you are to share in the glory, you have to as well share in the suffering of Christ Jesus. Once you fail the test of enduring the simple suffering that never compares to the glory you enjoy later, then you are not worthy of being called a child of God and as such you can not be full and led by the Holy Spirit who bares witness to the true children of God. 

Besides the groaning suffered by Christians for not living for the glory of God, there is groaning you must suffer as a Christian to qualify you as a true child of God who has accepted to walk in the discipleship of Christ. Therefore much as you may as well be a born again Christian and you have the Holy Spirit within you as a guarantee of the future glory promised by God, the Bible (Romans 8:23 NLT) says you too also groan to be released from pain and suffering. You too must continue to please God as you patiently wait to be given the full rights that qualify you to be God's revealed children, the rights include attaining the new bodies the LORD has promised for his children. So until you are revealed by the witness of the Holy Spirit that you are a Child of God, keep on waiting patiently, confidently and with love for God. 

As you wait to be led by the Holy Spirit in whatever you do do it because you love, trust and believe in only God. Once you pass the test of such endurance, God will surely develop in you a character or discipleship and you will have salvation for the Bible (Romans 8:28-30 NLT) says, " ...that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."If you are God's child, Gd knew you in advance, therefore all you need is to endure by serving Him with love, because surely you never choose yourself, it is God himself that chose you in advance only you do not know it until you ask him to tell you your purpose for the  glory of God's Kingdom. Therefore present yourself to the LORD God always and eagerly while you worship Him in truth and with sincerity and joy. With such posture of the character and the discipleship of being a true Christian, God will surely give you the right standing with himself, including the glory that allows you to rest in Him with life and peace instead of decay and suffering.        

It is therefore important to note that, according to the Bible (Romans 9: 4-5 NLT), when God reveals his glory to you it means you are one of his chosen Children. As his child walk in God's covenants, follow his commands by the lead of the Holy Spirit and as such you will be qualified as God's child revealed to have the privilege of worshiping God and receiving God's wonderful promises as you eternally praise God. So until you walk an extra mile from just saying you are born again, because the Bible (Romans 9:6-7 NLT) puts it that, "....not everyone born into a ...family is truly a member of that family. That just because you are a descendant of Abraham doesn't make you his true child. Just as it is not mandatory that every physical descendant of Abraham is necessarily a child of God (Romans 9:8 NLT), the same applies to you born again Christian. everyone who confesses to be born again has to speak and do and be let by the Holy Spirit to be called a Child of God. Romans 9:15-17 NLT reveals that God said to Moses, "I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose." So receiving God's promise is not up to you, you can not get it by choosing it or working hard for it. God will surely show mercy to anyone he chooses, just as he told Pharaoh that, "I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you, and so that my fame might spread throughout the earth. So therefore Keep praying so that you please God so as to be chosen as his child.  

Child of God, refuse to conform sin through Christ Jesus, be transformed to life by the Spirit and join God's Children in the glorious freedom they enjoy of life and peace.

They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents. 31_ They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. 32_ They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

Romans 2:13-15  Holy Bible, King James Version

13_ (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before the God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14_ For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15_ which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

We are no longer slaves to sin. 7_ For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 10_ He died once to defeat sin, and now he lives for the glory of God. 11_ So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus. 20_ In those days, when you were slaves of sin, you weren't concerned with doing what was right. 21_ And what was the result? It was not good, since now you are ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in eternal doom. 22_ But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God.

Romans 8:3-4, 14, 17-18, 23, 28-30  Holy Bible, New Living Translation

3_ The law of Moses could not save us, because of our sinful nature. But God put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human body like ours, except that ours are sinful. God destroyed sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. 4_ He did this so that the requirement of the law would be fully accomplished for us who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit. 14_ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 17_ And since we are his children, we will share his treasures-for everything God gives to his Son , Christ, is ours, too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. 18_ Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. 23_ And even we Christians, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new bodies he has promised us. 28_ And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29_ For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn, with many brothers and sisters. 30_ and having chosen them, he called them to come to him. and he gave them right standing with himself, and he promised them his glory.

Romans 9:4-8, 15-17  Holy Bible, New Living Translation

4_ They are the people of Israel, chosen to be God's special children. God revealed his glory to them. He made covenants with them and gave his law to them. They have the privilege of worshiping him and receiving his wonderful promises. 5_ Their ancestors were great people of God, and Christ himself was a Jew as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, who rules over everything an is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 6_ Well then has God failed to fulfill his promise to the Jews? No, for not everyone born into a Jewish family is truly a Jew! 7_ just the fact that they are descendants of Abraham doesn't make them truly Abraham's children. For the scriptures say, "Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted," though Abraham had other children, too. 8_ This means that Abraham's physical descendants are not necessarily children of God. It is the children of the promise who are considered to be Abraham's children. 15_ For God said to Moses, "I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose." 16_ So receiving God's promise is not up to us. We can't get it by choosing it or working hard for it. god will show mercy to anyone he chooses. 17_ for the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, "I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you, and so that my fame might spread throughout the earth."
