Episode 10: TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV)

We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison, 18. because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17 (TPT)

It is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of godliness.

God has a purpose behind every problem.

The truth transforms us. Spiritual growth is the process of replacing lies with truth. Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth

Sanctification requires revelation. The Spirit of God uses the

Word of God to make us like the Son of God. To become like

Jesus, we must fill our lives with his Word. The Bible says,

“Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks

God has for us.”

God’s Word is unlike any other word. It is alive.

The Spirit of God uses the Word of God to make us

like the Son of God.

We cannot live without the Word of God! Never take it for granted.

You should consider it as essential to your life as food. Job said,

“I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily

bread.”

God’s Word is the spiritual nourishment you must have to fulfil

your purpose.

Abiding in God’s Word includes three activities:

1. I must accept its authority. The Bible must become the

authoritative standard for my life. The Bible must

always have the first and last word in my life.

2. I must assimilate its truth. It is not enough just to believe the

Bible; I must fill my mind with it so that the Holy Spirit can transform me with the truth. There are five ways to do this: You

can receive it, read it, research it, remember it, and reflect on it.

3. I must apply its principles. I must become “doers of the word.

Episode 8

God wants you to grow up. Your heavenly Father’s goal is for you to mature and develop the characteristics of Jesus Christ.

Spiritual growth is not automatic. It takes an intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort to grow, and persist in growing. Discipleship—the process of becoming like Christ—always begins with a decision.

Nothing shapes your life more than the commitments you

choose to make. Your commitments can develop you or they can

destroy you, but either way, they will define you.

God has given you a new life; now you are responsible to develop it “with fear and trembling.” That means to take your spiritual

growth seriously!
