 Relational Transformation

When we talk of a transformation, we talk of a fullness that affects heart, soul, mind, body

Verse: ‭Matthew 22:37-38

[37] Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 

[38] This is the first and greatest commandment. 

Hence the transformation on the inside will show on the outside. And our relationship with God will reflect with relationship with people.

The garden of eden was a place where God and man hung out. It was a place of conversation. It was a place of relationship. And we are also called to have godly relationships in the world. What does it mean to have godley relaionship

  1. Walking with Jesus
  2. Knowing Jesus Intimatly
  3. Living with Jesus

Walking with Jesus

We have the capacity to change our environment because of relationship with Jesus. The walk with Jesus as we walk into our world will create the garden of Eden

There was sevaral people who walked with God.... Enoch walked with God and he was not because God took him.

What is our duty to the Lord? Walk with the Lord

Verse: ‭Deuteronomy 10:12

[12] “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. 

The were two people who walked with Jesus after his resurrection. What they had to say about this walk was "Did not our heart burn with ourselvs?"

Knowing Jesus Intimately

John 17:3

[3] And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. 

Living with Jesus

‭Revelation 21:3

[3] I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. 

Walking with people

When we walk with the Lord, this affects our relationshp with people. 

Verse: ‭Ephesians 5:2

[2] Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

Financial Awareness Day 2025

Financial Awareness Day 2025 Financial Awareness Day, observed annually on August 14th. Financial awareness is important because we navigate through life using money/finance as one of the tools. As part of the awareness, there is one practice, we all need to stay clear off - Financial Impropriety. The term Financial Impropriety encompasses a range of unethical behaviour related to handling money. And this was the first sin of the church and is something that is most overlooked. We see this story in Acts 5  Ananias and Sapphira The story of Ananias and Sapphira is told and interpreted where the couple paid for their lies (related to money). While this is true, most people don't investigate why this came about. This didn't originate with this couple. The church violated a principle, which is the root of this problem But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3) The church decided acknowledge Barnabas' contribution ...

Happy Men's Day!

Happy Men's Day! Celebrating people is important because it builds community, strengthens relationships, and creates a culture of gratitude and appreciation. We all celebrate Women's Day. However, men often are not excited about any kind of celebration meant for them. That is because we are already having such a good time.... and every day!!! We don't need a special day. Here are some examples Men can call upon higher powers to validate their claims.  With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it."  (Romans 9:1) This is very helpful in situations where our plans fail. So we compare our word, to unwavering Word of Jesus himself 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” 19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says.  (1 Corin...

Kill the Babies!!!

Morality Standards A picture is painted of a potter fashioning clay to his liking. And this animated picture brings life to the clay, with the clay protesting the Potters's design. This surprised Potter asks "Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?" Jeremiah 18:5 NIV It seems completely reasonable and moral that the Potter is allowed to shape the clay to his design and liking. Conversely it is unreasonable and immoral for the clay to protest the Potter's design.   "You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!" Isaiah 29:16 NIV And yet, we continue in our unreasonability and turn things upside down. Why does mere clay (or humankind), protest the Potter (or God) on morality. There is no rational position we can take, that justifies our objections. And it is funny that our objections always start with  "If there were a God, He would not have ordered.... Destruction of all living things in the land of Cannan ...
