But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18

Be Changed By Beholding Christ

If you go to any good bookstore, you will find a section called “Self-Improvement”. Here, you’ll find all kinds of books describing various principles and methods you can follow to improve yourself. In all these books, the focus is on you using your willpower and self-discipline to apply the principles to improve yourself.

But God does not want you focusing on yourself. That’s self-occupation, which can only take you so far, with results that last only as long as your willpower lasts. God has a higher way. He wants you to be Christ-occupied. When you look to yourself to improve yourself, you are putting confidence in your flesh. But the Bible tells us that in our flesh dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18), and that we should put no confidence in our flesh (Philippians 3:3).

My friend, the best way to change yourself is to forget self and be occupied with Christ. When you read the Bible, see His beauty, His majesty, His compassion and His grace. As you keep beholding and meditating on His glory, the Holy Spirit inside you goes to work in you. He will transform you into the very same image of Christ. You will be changed from glory to glory, experiencing true and lasting inward transformation!

Awesome, thanks

Forget yourself and focus on Christ? In a church like Christ Embassy, try that you'd be completely milked and destroyed. Following God doesn't mean you have to lose your sense of self and what's best for you.

How can one forget SELF? SELF- that evil nature present in every man. Makes you feel happy when people applaud you, and sad when people criticize you that makes you look at someone and say 'how can he talk to me like that, how can he ask me to do that etc'. SELF indeed is the greatest enemy a man can have.
If you know you know.

a man filled with the holy spirit. God continually bless you Pastor Prince.

No man can do it himself, but if we present ourselves to God, He will do it. It doesn't happen automatically, there has to be a burning desire and prayer for it.
He circumcises our hearts as He says in Deuteronomy 30:6 - And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. The same way one submits himself for circumcision in the flesh, so also one must submit for circumcision Of The heart.

God bless.
