DEFINED MOMENTS OF CHANGE

...........Any thing done out of love is beyond good and evil.
          

        The agenda of the world have made it clear that people, who succeed over their trembling problems in life, are seldom people who have made a redeemable change in their lives. People are often faced with a lot of challenges in life just because they refuse or do not realize the mandate of change. Stressing a need for change could be in our society, in our homes, in our work environment. But I want to limit it to individual change.
The individual is a person who is prompt to actions and reactions which may lead to a positive or negative effect. Each individual experience a natural phenomena of growth. 

       In our society today people tend to give to believes to the fact that their can be no change. Although I can say this fact “the world it self cannot change, for what has been written in the Bible must surely come to past” but this I always say “if the individual can change, then he is prompt to change the people around his jurisdiction”.
Further, when Jesus met Nicodemus in the Bible (John 3:3), he told him this “unless a man is born again (factor of change) he shall not see the kingdom of God”. This shows us that a change must occur before true and everlasting things are revealed. We can also see 4-7, Nicodemus thought in the flesh but Jesus is talking about a spirit or an inward change. I want to tell you that unless you defined your self:  then you will know the true purpose of life success. Rick Warren wrote in his book ‘the purpose driven life – “while there are illegitimate parents, there are no illegitimate children. Many children are unplanned by their parents, but they are not unplanned by God. God’s purpose took int account human error, and even sin.” God never makes mistakes.  “Some people have heaven in their tongue but the world in their hearts” You must discover Christ before your purpose will be true. You can not make any progress be it in life, in institutions, organizations, and so on, if you do not change from the perspective of your old way of life. We must understand that our lives are predesigned by God. All we need is to make the relevant choices of change necessary, following the biblical revelation of a righteous living.
In every day life we meet many different set of people and character. “Your association determines your assimilation”. What you see (the eye gate), what you hear (the ear gate) and what you say (mouth gate), can influence your destiny. It is said in economics “the higher you earn the higher your propensity to consume”. I can also say “the higher you change for good the higher your will to succeed”.
“It is not enough to steer at the stairs rather step the stairs”.
Change is that force that directs you to the fulfillment of your destiny. A change in a life Honors God. Change brings peace because of the progress your life is making.
Take for example a man who drives a car on gear one to lagos, from lagos back to plateau. Now can you imagine how many hours it took him to have left Jos to lagos and then with the same gear come back. That is how a life if not changed will move at the lowest pace of success. 

In history today changes have made magnificent things even till this present day. There came a time were people have to trek to far distances on foot,

a change came with the use of animal (more comfortable) another  change came with the use of wooden bicycles, another with the use of motor bikes, another faster means, with the use of four wheels, another with the use of modern trains,

wooden bicycle age

and another with the use of air planes. All of the above began with a change which led to what we enjoy today. Change is necessary and vital in the life of each individual especially as it concern a godly change of understanding your purpose in life.

“Change today and the speed of your output will increase”.

          Environmental change - This aspect of change has to do with your environment. Some of us today are living in one place enjoying and seeing the same situations and we think we are ok. No, going out and changing your environment makes you learn new things; have new view on life issues and struggles, makes you appreciated who you are, make you change completely. The kind of life we see around us can influence if we do not confront them with boldness and commitment. “CITY TAKERS”. The Bible says the spirit is willing but the flesh is not. Until we change through the spirit we can never overcome the flesh so also unless we strengthen our spiritual life we can not take a city. A change provides one with new opportunities in life success. Some one gave a story ones. “A man decided to take his son for a trip in a village. His son was much exited. After they had finished their little trip, On their way back in the car the father told his son “can you see how people in the village are suffering” Surprisingly the son answered “no the aren’t poor people, they are rich. We have only on pipe of water in our house but they have rivers, we buy our foods, but they plant their food, we have small land for our house, but the have many wild lands.” He than said “thank you dad for showing me how poor we are”. Not withstanding this story is not to make us think they are free from financial problems of some other forms of hardship. Its just to channel our mind towards living our environment and strolling through the crannies of the less privilege and the tendency of us finding our calling in helping out and working as in thoughts of others well being.  

          Crowd change- The chance you have to meet many people in this world dose not mean you should go along “Choose your friends”. The kind of friends you keep can easily have and influence on you if you do not have the influence of the word in you. The Bible says Eph. 6:10-18, “put on the full amour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes”. If you read 17- it describes the word as the sword of the spirit. “The things that matter before do not matter now and the things that do not matter before now matters”. People no are no longer disturbed about the things that can kill, but they adhere and practice them in freedom. Ignorance, for example I ones ask a friend why is it that the films we watch today promote sex so boldly as though it were good. They world has term it as “enjoyment”. I now said if sex is not a sin as they meant in this films, then why cant they promote stealing, murder, Pedosexuality (sexual attraction towards children) covetousness etc. we need to make a stand.

Commitment change- You need to change your commitments. This includes all aspects of your life. If you are a student you need to work harder than before, if you are a worker, you need to be more diligent and hardworking, if you are a teacher you need to teach well enough, if you are a leader any where, you need to lead by example, tolerance and humility of heart. Changing your commitment makes you to achieve a maximum output because it will take you and extra effort to get things well done.

          Discipline change- For an environment to be peaceful there must be a disciplined atmosphere where every one knows his duty and works at maximum in order to produce a quality of success. Successful people are not born they are simply made. “Goal setters are goal getters”.

          Lastly, take a step, cross over to a new turn around for good. Makes things you did not know you can make, achieve the extraordinary things, and create maximum output in your business, school, institutions, organizations, associations and so on. Most especially make the change your life and the world needs. “Your closest family is your neighbor”. Let your light illuminate in the corners of the world around you.

          “Lives are changed when better characters are formed”
