Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things have passed away behold all things are new 2Corinth. 5:17
Yesterday the security guard at the office was smiling and singing while working towards me, he kept singing and smiling at me , while i enquire to know what's going on with him he said to me, man i feel so new, like being born again feels so good, like he has this peace of mind, that everything will be okay, he doesn't have to worry about anything, i felt good too and before you know it we began conversing in scriptures, then he said something profound to me, he said that no matter all the wealth one has in this life they all mean nothing cause at the end none of it will go with them to the grave rather, it will be consumed by others who do not even understand the true value of those wealth, and it all boils down to what king solomon said that all id vanity and grasping for the wind, truth be told we only get to feel sober understanding the actual meaning of these words when standing next to a grave yard....
We further discussed about the new creature's life, he also said to me revealing the truth i have kept to my self all along, that when someone is born again, it doesn't instantly change anything about that person, he or she is still the same person, but that very moment have birthed somethings on their inside that allows the holy spirit to be able to come in an cause the change in them, however theres also an intentional work to be done and that is developing and building on the new conviction, thats why Romans 12:2
DO not be conform to the pattern of these world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may be able to test and know that which is the perfect will of God
So the first point of a transformation begins by renewing your mind, which done by daily intake of God's word by so doing gradual adjustments begins from the former life to the new life.
Secondly always paying attention to God's word, the bible says in Romans 10: 17
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. so seating among brethren who share in the faith is another way to shift your mindset from who you were to who you ought to be...
Thirdly being active in church service, join a department or a service unit in church that acts like a small body of those that shares the same faith, believe, principles and values, that are able to check on you and share words of encouragement is one of the many ways to stay renewed....
It's a personal decision to transform, to be renewed, to have a new mindset, to be fully live the life of a new creature and enjoy all the full benefit that comes with making that decision of a new being...
