Allow yourself to Change
Romans 12:2.
says “Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so
that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable
and perfect”
Many times I've heard people say, "It's easy to Change”,
but actually it’s not! Allow me to begin this way: Sometimes, we don’t want to
change because of fear. Sometimes we fear because we are receiving a whole new
life(Zoe).
And believe me, the devil knows that if you stay in the same
position he will easily control you; so he makes you feel ok with resisting
change. This is actually why most people are fine with doing what they used to
do.
Most people are fine
with going to places they used to go to, hanging out with friends they used to
hang out with and so on. And yes, they are Christians but they didn’t really
change. Therefore, change is good and God wants us to change having become his
sons and daughters through Christ Jesus, we can't remain the same! But this
change comes with a certain knowledge, which is the knowledge of God (Epignosis).
And remember this, that faith is simply believing in the
knowledge of God which comes by the word of God...
This explains why people(Christians) are not actually
changing even after having received this knowledge of God: the reason for this
is simply because they are not investing in knowing God.
As we had said earlier, with knowledge comes change.
They fear changing because they don’t have faith (they don't
believe in the knowledge of God).
And faith comes by
knowledge and that knowledge is by spending time with the word.
This explains why those Christians who don’t spend enough
time with the Word of God eventually stay the same.
So it’s time to change our settings; It’s time to un-learn
what we knew to learn new things.
It’s time to embrace the Word and live by it!
That’s the only way change will come.
So remember this, that change is okay and is worth it!
Change comes by giving yourself to the word, and this change
should be visible. Don’t read the word for yourself only but also read for
others.
Go beyond looking for your change and change the whole world.
Change is Godly.
