Greetings to you all.

I welcome you to another series of the teaching.
EXCERPT from the previous teaching;
Having Said this, I will share with you few things that can help our conformation processes and in the next series, I will explain them.
1. Identifying the Image
2. The workings of the Spirit of God.
3. The power of Renewal and transformation.
I promised to Explain these processes.
1. Identifying the Image: I have emphasized without number in the previous posts that God will not support acknowledge any labor to make you become alike with an image that is Contrary to that of Jesus christ.
Quick examination: Take a look at your life,begin to compare and contrast, am I looking like Him?
You need to start Checking your passions,ambitions,Desires, your thoughts. Are they like that of Jesus?
This help you know how far you still need to Go.
You need to ask your self,this pride ,this anger,this lust for Money and For ladies,this lust for s*x ,can they be found in Jesus?
If you sincerely answer that question Correctly, then it means you truly desire an upgrade,it means you truly love the promises of God.
Now For the area of purpose: Many times what God wants you to become,some already has become it and they represent that thing to their Generation. In the aspect of following the footsteps of Mentors and wanting to become,in order to fulfill your purpose, it will be wrong and dangerous for you to you to follow the footsteps of men who Jesus is yet formed in them.
As Jesus is the Express image of God,so every man Must be express image of Christ. (Roman 8:29)
In summary, Jesus is the image we are all predestined to be conformed to and nothing else.
2.The workings of the Spirit of God :
Exodus 31:1 -10 reveals to us the story of Bazaleel and aholiab.
This teaches us on how that God gave his spirit to Bazaleel inorder to design in CONFORMATION to the pattern He showed and commanded Moses.
So, God could give a Man His spirit for the sake of constructing an accurate art work? Yes!!! So by the working and operation of that Spirit, He was able to make things as instructed in consonance with the original pattern.
What's this telling you?
The spirit of christ is what can work christ likeness in you.
The same way ,the spirit of God worked wisdom in Bazaleel in all works of craft.
He wasn't an artist,but something DIVINE came upon Him and Changed Him to who God wants him to Be.
The normal Bazaleel was not needed, what was needed was an artist who could work all kinds of Craft,but the spirit of God came upon Bazaleel,made him, changed him from ordinary man to a man who is useful in the agenda of God,under the leadership Moses.
This same thing is what the Spirit of God can do to you reading this Post.
Only if you are willing.
If you are willing, your Journey with God must start with obeying His voice.
Likewise, No Jesus, NO HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN TO ANY MAN.
The secret and open way to lay hold of the promise of the Holyspirit is by Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
We pick it up again from this point tomorrow.
Stay tuned
Stay blessed.
