  • TRANSFORMATION IN CHRIST (PART 1)

    by Henry Oriato

    Transformation in a Christian context can be defined as the renewal of the inner self -soul and spirit -in Christ and being transformed into the image and likeness of God. God is a Spirit and it makes sense that our transformation happens in the spirit and not by the outward appearance only.

    God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
    ~JOHN 4:24

    Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Transformation happens inwards goin outwards and not the other way round

    Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. ~ ROMANS 8:8

    You may think you know yourself until the Lord comes and reveals to you your real self, the person He created in His own Image and likeness and He’ll transform you to His image.

    You can’t talk about the image of God and leave out His Holiness and purity and the abundance of the various forms of His Glory. God is Holy and as His children he has called as to be Holy.

    (2 Cor 6:16-18, Lev 15:31, Lev 20:26, Rom 12:1-2)

    Transformation is thus a result of being born of the Spirit of Christ and becoming one with God just like Jesus was in God and God in Him

    You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
    ~ Rom 8:9
    (JOHN 14:11, 1 JOHN 4:13, JOHN 14:23)

    No Human is perfectly perfect but we have the helper, the holy spirit for us who are born again, to lead and teach us the ways of God and transform us into the christlike nature and passion of pleasing God.

    JESUS LOVES YOU.

  • Devotion: Transformation Through The Power In Christ

    by Henry Oriato

    ‘But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. ‘

    ~ Romans 8:9

    Until You accept Christ and receive the baptism of the Holy spirit, which is a free gift to all. (Acts 2:38), Which is a free gift to all, you wont understand the things of God. You’ll be hostile to him and his precepts.

    Precepts are rules or principles, especially those governing personal conduct. God is a spirit and you can’t satisfy him in flesh.(Romans 8:7-8) You must be born of the spirit.

    Most people are afraid to get born again because they don’t know how they’ll resist the desires and temptations of the flesh to sin

    Well, after your baptism into Christ you’ll no longer live but it will be Christ living in you (Gal 2:20) and he’ll guide you through the paths of righteousness for his name sake by the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. You’ll have the passion of Christ in you, that is hating evil and pleasing God the Father by doing his will.

    ‘I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. ‘

    ~ Galatians 2:20
