CHANGE (EPISODE 2)

Lately I have been going through deep self reflection and re-evaluation. Whoever tells you personal growth is a small feat is certainly deceiving you. I had been battling with some habits and attitudes, like worrying myself sick over things I can't change, resentment and bitterness over people who hurt me, and being unable to forgive myself for settling for less. I knew it was time to let go and let God because the longer I stayed there, the more I was dragged into destruction. I tried so hard to be happy, but happiness was Farfetched from me. I turned to God for help. During one of my quiet times, I came across a piece written by Helen Keller she said and I quote Character isn't achieved by ease and quiet. it develops by trials and suffering. My question for you and I today is this: how are the challenges you are facing building your character? Change isn't something that happens over night. I'm talking about positive change here When you are trying to change for the best but you keep seeing yourself go back to the old you, don't give up on yourself just yet. You have practically lived like that for God knows how many years of your life, so don't be frustrated when you try to evacuate such habits/attitudes/addictions and all what not and you find it difficult. You have been an abode for them for so long, so they will definitely put up a resistance, its left for you to keep being conscious, aware intentional and serious about getting result. This is where it gets interesting. Avail yourself to the Gospel of Grace because the Gospel knows what to do. Please keep asking the Holy spirit for help and guidance. Ever since I let God into my affairs; life has been sweeter and easier. Deliverance isn't God taking away your problems: it is you not conforming to the ways of the world, but being transformed from the inside out by the renewal of your mind. When your mind is renewed, your perception about challenges and tough times changes. Deliverance is you knowing that you are already victorious despite whatever it is that comes your way, no matter how insurmountable that mountain might seem, You handle whatever it that comes to you with a certain boldness, power and authority. My deliverance began when I came into the realisation of my identity in Christ. I realised that he died for me, took away my Sins, not just the sins, he also took away infirmities, reproach, afflictions sickness etc. in exchange he gave me his righteousness. This means that I'm saved from sins, addictions, sickeness and all what not.I began to walk in this consciousness by constantly reminding myself of who I'm in Christ and what he has done for me. This journey began last December; and all I can say is thank u Jesus. It's being 9months of bliss and peace. Just like people who had suffered perhaps substance abuse addiction and are on a journey to break free from addiction would always say I've been clean from drugs for a yr or so, I too have borrowed that phrase from them, by constantly saying to myself I've been clean for 9 months, clean from worry, clean from fear, clean from bitterness yans resentment. My joy isn't found in a thing or a place. It is a person and that person is Jesus. You can be a better version of yourself, don't go paying the prize that Jesus already has paid for. Avail yourself to the Gospel of Grace and watch Jesus transform your life. It's well with you, I pray that God opens the eyes of your understanding, and your mind. #grace #believe #totaltransformation #motivation #inspiration #change #educating #inspirational #love #worship
