Written by REVELATIONS FOR TODAY by Pastor Michael Obata
Romans 12:2 – New King James Version (NKJV)
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Many people identify as Christians without understanding its true meaning. Christianity is not just about rituals; it is about God expressing His divine nature through humanity (2 Peter 1:4). Recognising your identity in Christ and sharing in God’s nature comes through His word, enabling you to reflect His glory, power, and love.
The information a man receives or imbibes affects his thought life, which in turn affects his words and actions. This is what impacts a man’s lifestyle and destiny. GOD’s word impacts your destiny which is GOD’s plan for you, which HE prepared beforehand. The beauty of GOD’s word: it is Spirit and Life (John 6:63). It conveys the life of GOD; which transform, reconstructs, and recreates your life and your world. Through dedicated study, reflection, and engagement with scriptures, Christians gain profound insights into aspects of their lives that previously lacked clarity—whether related to health, career, business, relationships, or finances— that cause them to experience the promises of GOD. This occurs when one’s spirit is enlightened and informed. CHRIST JESUS in John 8:32 (NKJV) says “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The word of GOD gives insight and foresight into GOD’s plan for you as an individual. The word of GOD is the power of GOD unto salvation. This is the power that causes you to have good success and make your way prosperous. Psalms 67:2 (TLB) says “Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind.” Accordingly, it is incumbent upon us to communicate the message of Christ, which improves the mind and in turn lives. The teachings of God provide clear guidance for our path, helping us avoid uncertainty and confusion. Just like CHRIST JESUS you always know what to do; when to do it; and the right time to do things.
The Christian is an epistle of CHRIST; but how can you be a message of CHRIST JESUS? This you become through CHRIST dwelling richly in you. For the word of GOD is powerful and when you give yourself fully to it, it transforms you into the mature son of GOD and the messianic anointing begins to manifest in you. This way you will save yourself and those around you. This way you are blessed to be a blessing. The world begins to see the glory of GOD in your life. Then your progress, uplift, successes, great victories, influence and affluence becomes evident to all mankind.
