Are you Willing to Change?

Will you choose to remain the same or make a change?

26 “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) (NIV).

Change is about making choices. Thinking of change or desiring to change will not generate change into your life. You have to choose to change. 


It requires a choice. Ask yourself where do I see myself in 2, 3, 4 years time? Will I be better than I am a year from now? Am I going to be more mature, healthier, or happier? Am I going to be like God wants me to be? These will only happen if you choose to make that change.

Do you want to change your situation, your life or are you content with the way things are?

Why do we think that God is instantly going to change us, we must have faith in him? He is waiting on you, for you to say that 'Yes, I am willing to make changes in my life Lord'.

You may have tried to deal with a problem or situation and have failed. This isn't about trying, it's about seeing a transformation in your life by asking God to give you strength. You cannot expect growth without change because growth without change is like expecting snow to fall on a hot summers day.

Jesus said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) (NIV).

This statement announces that it is impossible to do things alone, you may think and try to, but it is Only with God that all things are possible. You have to let go of your old ways, be renewed and leave old habits behind, old patterns, old ways of thinking, and old hurts in your life. Don't go downhill because you haven't let go of these things. If you trust God then stand aside. God is faithful, there is nothing he can't do.

Prayer:
Dear God, help me to grow in faith; trusting you so that I can make the necessary changes in my life. Lord, I pray that these changes will remain, and I will not relapse and go back to the old me, those old habits and ways of thinking. Help me to not give up, to keep going. Although I know I can't control what is happening on the outside; things which are entirely out of my control, Lord, help me to control what is happening on the inside. God, help me to maintain so that any changes I make will be for the better, creating a better me. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Having a Better relationship with God

"They were to look for God... and find Him because He is not far from each one of us. It is in Him that we live and move and keep on living". Acts 17:27 (NLV).

Bad Company Corrupts Good Character!

Yes, there is a need to avoid Bad Company. 1 Corinthians 15: 33 says this " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.” (NIV). Do your friends corrupt your morals? Do you allow your friends to corrupt your morals?  It is important to choose wisely who you allow to influence you. We are humans and are easily corrupted by the company we keep. We need to prevent others bad influences from causing us to become a bad influence on ourselves and others.  Friends can either help us or harm us. Only You can choose the company you keep! God made the statement in His Word, the Bible, which proclaims " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.”  (NIV). This statement reminds us that we are a building board for Jesus and we must not Waiver and stumble off the path that God has set for us. Bad company can have a great influence on our walk with God. It can trick us into thinking that we can keep the wrong type of company and continue o...

God's Love!

God's love is Deep, High, Wide and Long! It holds such greatness that it cannot be fully understood! Ephesians 3: 18-19 says, 18   " And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.   19  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God". (NLT) Think about the way you love others. Do you love some and not love others? Is your love selective? Is it wide? Does it stretch out to those you do not know? Do you love those who have done you wrong? Read  Matthew 5: 44   God's love is one that extends, stretches and spreads across the whole world. It includes everyone and everything that He created. God created the world; He made us in His own image (Genesis 1: 27) and He loves us. God's  love for you is unconditional! Whether you like it or not, or want to...
