jiggaz: 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! Q. E. D |

Emilokoiyawon: See, people should realize one thing. In this life you are not guaranteed success just because you think you are a good person. Nature does not care how good, upright, holy, humble etc. you are. The spoils of nature go to those who do the right thing. You say Ronaldo is wicked but he has won the CL 5 times. So he must be doing something right. You say Ramos is a demon but he won last night and the angel Salah lost - so Ramos did what was required and Salah did not so Ramos won.
Two men have gardens next to each other in a community. One man is a holy, upright, good and humble man. The other is a wicked, heartless, arrogant, selfish and bad man.
The good man did not water and take care of his garden. But the bad man watered his garden. Regularly removed the weeds. And took care of his plants.
Everybody passing by point to the wicked man's garden and said, "What a beautiful, fruitful garden...what a wise gardener."
And when they see the good/holy man's garden said, "What an ugly, barren garden...what a foolish gardener."
This is the nature of life. The earlier you accept this and act accordingly the better for you. Correct. Nature takes its course. |

Lakeside79: Bro the fact you feel bad about this shows your spirit is still alive.. so keep the good fight !
You try you succeed, you try you fail the important thing is to keep knowing you have to bear this and never get comfortable in doing wrong
Never believe it's okay to tell yourself that if on Sunday you cry and accept Jesus you are free from guilt no you keep fighting
You pray for strength each morning and face each day believing that day is the day you win and if at the end of the day you fail don't despair pray that night again for renewed strength to try again the next day , reenforce this with avoid temptations from going to the wrong places, veiwing pornography and information you consume
Watch out for triggers, what makes you always susceptible to this? Is it alcohol, boredom, certain thought processes , particular movie scenes then try hard to manage these as much as you can
There's no such thing as anyone laying hands on you and it disappears or any special.prayers , it's all in you to manage with the good Lord by your side bro
It's a life time struggle and we should continue to fight this till our last days
Sometimes it can take a whole life time to conquer one propensity
Just keep on keeping on and realize there's nothing wrong with you, you aren't some broken being you are just human and will give this your best shot to be the best you can be
Fight the good fight with all the might bro
We all have our battles daily , you are not alone
We are all immensely flawed creatures
All.the best U have spoken |

Yemight474: No one is to be blame for what happened between Salah and Ramos.... because Both of them are just fighting for what they want.... That's what life is.....
I really feel bad for Salah and Liverpool because if Salah was not injured, it would be difficult for Madrid to win. S.Ramos on the other hand was the one that makes Madrid the champion today..... to Madrid fans he is their hero but to some people like Liverpool fan... he is just a despicable person......
This life ehnn always play pranks on us... I just wish Salah come back with greater ability... There is a reason behind everything that happens in this world.... I just wish the reason behind what happened to him (Salah) is for his own better career. U have spoken. |
