As I write this piece this morning, the butterfly comes to mind. Its progress from egg to larva, larva to pupa and to adult (imago) of what we call metamorphosis reinforces what I’m about to discuss. The progress to a beautiful butterfly isn’t a day journey.
Each stage is true of the butterfly and at each stage the butterfly is complete but with different capacity.
The difference in the changes in butterfly is spontaneous if nothing hampers it BUT man’s metamorphosis to higher form is deliberate and a matter of choice.
As we enter this new week deliberately make up your mind to make a shift in becoming a better you.
The beauty of man’s glorious estate is its infinite capacity for transformation.
1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
By birth man is by design elevated above everything else created on earth. This includes the capacity to be inspired to reach out to outstanding heights.
Job 32:8 KJV
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Every invention and creative ingenuity of man proceed by the capacity God imputed into man. Scientific and technological breakthroughs basically proceed from God not the devil.
Inferentially, you too can be inspired to do amazing thing with your destiny.
From today, make up your mind to set time in meditations to be inspired to reach the stars. Make it an utmost assignment that in 3,4 or ten years time you’ll have been so transformed that those who used to know you will be confused about your new person.
When Jesus healed the man born blind people began to argue whether he is the one or not.
Let your change be so overwhelming that there will be shift in your personality, appearance, status and family.
A family in chaos can change for the good. A poor man can become a millionaire and a back bencher can turn out the much talked about celebrity.
Man is infinite and limitless in what he can become. Like the butterfly, changes in feature can be so great that there wouldn’t be any basis of comparison with the past. So you can make your life positively.
The question is: to what degree do you want to change.
Your most significant transformation should come from your spirit being because the changes that take place in our spirit has the capacity to affect every area of our lives.
*So Jesus told Nicodemus, you must be born again; and to you and me he is saying the same.*
What a new spirit does is a great favour we do to ourselves: it makes it possible to sit with Christ as we take on the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 2:6 KJV
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
When we are born again we are in active form for the Holy Ghost to brood upon. And with the Holy Ghost in and upon us, nothing shall be impossible with us.
Romans 8:11 KJV
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
When you are born again, open up your being, let the Holy Ghost brood upon you and get you elevated by the working of his power.
The Spirit is available to enable you to greater heights.
