“He is the God who transforms”

Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

It was on 31/1/20 Dr. Darell Whiteman, share the word of God in mission emphasis on day one. This sentence from him struck my heart “God send Jesus to incarnate in Jewish family under Romans rule in the same way Jesus send us to incarnate in every day of our lives, to whom we meet with.”

This bible verse comes so alive speaking to me… let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. As long as we are not transformed by God, by changing the way we think how much ever we try to do what is good, we cannot. Because the transformation in us will help us to think, see and understand as Jesus did, which will, in turn, help us to do the will of God in our lives to everyone we meet in our lives.

Without this transformation all our efforts to do good will be in vain…this transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, which is the work of God alone, we cannot do it ourselves in spite of how much we try to do good in our own effort. Dear today take your time in your busy schedule and invite the Holy Spirit to transform you so that you will get rid of your ego, pride, stubbornness, jealousy, hate, etc. And make room for the Holy Spirit to take control of you and be transformed.

“Trying our best to do good will not work, but being transformed by Holy Spirit will only help in the long run.”- Nei

“The God Who Speaks”

John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

People sometimes ask me. How did you know when God speaks to you? I just know it, you will know when you experience it. Indeed it is true God speaks, there are no specific ways He speaks, because He is God and He can speak to us in different ways, we saw in the Bible He speak to His people through prophets, vision, dreams, natures, etc. Moreover in today’s world when we have Bible the word of God in our Hands we can just read it, what He has for us.

One incident I was so sure of God spoken to me was, back in 2020 before Covid hit India and I was in the college campus, for days I had noticed a very good friend being disturbed and was so sad, I want to encourage Him but never had an opportunity, so I had a Prayer for him at night asking God, please help Him he is so much in pain, and there is nothing I can do for him, Lord if it is your will please give me an opportunity to speak to him.

To my surprise! The next day, after breakfast, as I walk out from the dining hall, from nowhere he just came out in front of me, we meet and there was nobody there just the two of us, he said you had breakfast? I said yes, and suddenly I remembered the prayer I had prayed for him last night, so I realized it is God’s answer to my prayer, and it is He who gave me this opportunity, so I ask him how are you? He answer I am fine, I said don’t lie it is good to tell I am not okay when you are not… He said I am trying to be okay… I told Him it’s okay it happens sometimes, even I was going through a hard time last month, but I am fine now, don’t worry all these things will pass, you will be okay. We had small talk, but later I can see Him smiling once again, and recovered slowly.

There are many more incidents, where God spoke to me… my dear, try listening to Him today what he wants to say to you using not only your ears but your eyes, ears, heart everything in you,  I bet you will know, it is Him speaking to you, but it should be according to the word of God. Don’t believe every word you hear Satan do speak.
