In Pursuit For Change
Contributed by Rolando, Jr Pama on Mar 18, 2023 (message contributor)
Summary: • INSANITY – Is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Albert Einstein. • To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. Winston Churchill
STEPS TO CHANGES:
1. BE COMMITTED.
Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.
c. Romans 6:13
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
2. BE WISE.
a. Hosea 4:6a
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge...
b. Proverbs 24:5 (English standard version)
A wise man is full of strength,
and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
c. James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
d. Proverbs 1:5
Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
and the one who understands obtain guidance,
3. LIVE A BALANCED LIFE.
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.
It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.
4. BE CONSISTENT.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
c. Luke 9:62
Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
