hey people. im here to update the sermon again.
do read it.!


Pastor Daniel
19th August
Do not conformed, be original.
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your body as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual acts of worship. Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will. [NIV]

you are not what you think you are, neither are you what i think you are.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK I THINK YOU ARE.

what does it mean.?
it means that how we see ourselves is what others see us as.
we become what people think we should be.

we are created clever.
but because people often say you stupid stupid.
and we believe we are in our mind.
and then we ourselves become STUPID.!

we often shape our self-image to what others think we are because we live in a world where we need to conform.
but that's not the truth.
GOD WANTS YOU TRANSFORMED.

but how do we live the true dignity of God.?
by knowing who we really are, then we will not conform to the world.

we do not live up to the world's expectations, we live up to God's expectations.!
God only settles for the best.
we need to be ORIGINAL.

an average person in the world would compare himself to others.
but YOU should compare yourself according to God's standars.

there will always be someone who is better, or worse than we are,
BUT we should not let them influence us.

God is not going to look at whether if you are rich or poor, short or fat.
He's gonna look at whether if you did what He had asked you to do.!



Transformation comes with a renewal of mind.
our behaviour changes when our thinking changes.
Often, we only believe parts of the bible we obey.
IS THIS THE RIGHT WAY.?

5 key things needed for transformation.
1.All behaviour is based on a belief.
what you believe is how you behave like.

2.Behind every sin is a lie you choose to believe
when you sin, you're doing what you think is best for you.
we choose to live in deception.
we have to start confronting this lies, then can we change.

3.Change always starts in the mind.
the way you think determines the way you feel which in turn determines the way you act.
it all starts with the mind.!
it's only when you know the truth then you'll be set free.
idle brains are the devil's workshop.!
you need to meditate.
you need to saturate your minds with God's words to break strongholds in your life.
the only difference between worldliness and godliness is a RENEWED MIND.

4.trying to change your behaviour without a change in your belief is a WASTE OF TIME.
if you want to change your behaviour, but that mindsetis still not there, it won't happen.!
you need to occupy your minds with the truth.
the devil tempts all other man, but the idle man tempts the devil.!
mindset is something that you inculcate inside your head.
a change of mindset would induce a change in behaviour.!

there are 2 roads.
the high road.
you have faith in God, you trust Him and you know that HIs way is always better than our way.
the low road.
you think and reason without God.
you allow the devil to put negative thoughts in your minds to pull you away from the high road.
which road are you on now.?

you need to choose to take the high road.


5.The bible calls this change of mind repentance.
Repentance is a change of mind. not a change in behaviour.!
we need to start changing the way we think.
some things may seem good to us, but in fact, it's not good in God's sight.
we need to get rid of it.

Matthew 3:8
Matthew 32
Mark 1:15


its only when you have a change of mind, then you will have a change in behaviour.
dont hesitate anymore.
start to change your mindset in things that you believe is good but in fact its not.
check your hearts and minds, is it in tune with God.?

i do hope that this is beneficial.
anyway, exams period coming.
please keep one another in prayer.


with love. MEL =]
