Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! I feel the urge to preach the Gospel of Christ Jesus everyday. Allow me to share a message entitled: " TRANSFORMED FOR VICTORY!"
My scripture reference is 2 Corinthians 4:1-13. In these scripture verses, drawing from Exodus 32-34, Paul uses Moses as a model of one who has been transformed by God's glory, but in a limited way.
Moses encountered God ( Lord) through the Spirit on that mountain, but the Spirit now - as a fulfilment of the new covenant - dwells in the hearts of believers and continually transforms them. This transformation is based on a new way of understanding God's revelation: Jesus Himself, the one who reveals God's glory, is the very image of God. (Exodus 33:14-20, Collosians 1:13-27).
Through this Spirit- enabled encounter, believers experience a new way of living and therefore come to resemble the Anointed One as they reflect His glory. ( 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Galatians 2:20). With this new transformation, we can now boldly say, it is no longer I living, but Christ in me is the one living for me.
We are transformed for victory by the blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit inside us.
The Bible says, 1. " Since we are joined together in this ministry as a result of the mercy shown to all of us by God, we do not become discouraged. ...............
2.Instead, we aim to tell the truth plainly, appealing to the conscience of every person under God's watchful eye. ....................
7. But this beautiful treasure is contained in us - cracked pots made of earth and clay - so that the transcendent character of this power will be clearly seen as coming from God and not from us.
8. We are cracked and chipped from our afflictions on all sides, but we are not crushed by them. We are bewildered at times, but we do not give in to despair.
9. We are persecuted, but we have not been abandoned.
We have been knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
10. We always carry around in our bodies the reality of the brutal death and suffering of Jesus. As a result, His resurrection life rises and reveals its wondrous power in our bodies as well.
11. For while we live, we are constantly handed over to death on account of Jesus so that His life may be revealed even in our mortal bodies of flesh.
12. So death is constantly at work in us, but life is working in you..........."
Jesus' death is the means to new life for others. Similarly when believers suffer for others as Jesus did, their suffering is an avenue for God's life to transform situations. ( 1 Peter 5:9-10, James 1:2-6).
Our suffering and challenges are a ladder to divine elevation and promotion. We are transformed for victory through perseverance and patience in our Christian faith.
The situation you are facing now, will soon come to pass in the name of Jesus. ( Hebrews 10:35-39).
Don't give up, Don't quit, Don't surrender, just be patient as you wait for your deserved promises. ( 2 Corinthians 1:20).
Just say, I am transformed for victory.
I am not a victim, but a victor, in Christ Jesus- Amen! ( Romans 5:3-5).
Be blessed and victorious in the name of Jesus!.
God bless you for taking time to read this message.
