BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND

BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND: IT HELPS TO ENACT THE GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“. . . 2] And do not be CONFORMED to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be TRANSFORMED and PROGRESSIVELY CHANGED [as you mature spiritually] by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may PROVE [for yourselves] what the WILL of God is, that which is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT [in His PLAN and PURPOSE for you]” Romans 12:1-2/Amplified. 

In Christ Jesus, being TRANSFORMED — otherwise being TRANSFIGURED — is about making what you ARE of God that’s POTENTIALLY in state [potential energy], to become KINETICALLY in state. 

It thus means ensuring that the change in our spiritual state of possession becomes tangible in our physical state of possession; for the physical state indicates that the essence is tangible and real, so that it can be — liveable, reachable, lovable, touchable and more of such like state. 

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the same image from GLORY TO GLORY, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:18. 

In Christ Jesus, by virtue of our redemption, we ARE BLESSED, empowered as a possession to succeed, triumph, overcome, and to be more than a conqueror. 

And we ARE given possession in the grace, which is firstly SPIRITUAL — otherwise located in the HEAVENLY treasure places; and the blessedness IS embedded and synchronised in our spirit-being of articulations, as per our being seated in the HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit that indwells in us. 

And by the Holy Spirit that SEALS us, APPROPRIATES us, ESTABLISHES us, CERTIFIES us, GUARANTEES us and such like more, we can be ASSURED to become and be becoming as written: 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED [EMPOWERED] us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . [20] which he wrought in Christ, when He RAISED Him from the dead, and SET Him at his own RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES ” Ephesians 1:3, 20. 

“And hath RAISED us up together, and MADE us sit together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6. 

“Now it is God who establishes and confirms us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [EMPOWERING us with the gifts of the Spirit]; [22] it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has given us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22/Amplified. 

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] but lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 5:19-22. 

Our being transformed, otherwise transfigured, [but not refurbished or reformed], enables the Heavenly places possession to become tangible for our earthly sphere possession — which as such, becomes our reality to reach, live, touch, feel and become it, in total, complete, whole, and in maturity, in our doing life and living godly in the grace. 

And in our REDEMPTION, we ARE: 

  • Redeemed 
  • Being Redeemed 
  • Shall Be Redeemed 

And in the same scenario, on matters of transformation: 

  • We ARE Transformed. 
  • We ARE Being Transformed 
  • We SHALL Be Transformed. 

And the act or process of being TRANSFORMED [transformation], it is what makes who you ARE and what you possess in Christ Jesus become a reality — tangible, reachable, loveable, touchable, liveable and more. 

And the act or process of ensuring, enacting and authenticating the assured possession in transformation is by RENEWING YOUR MIND, otherwise being RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND in the context of Romans 12:1-2 and Ephesians 4:22-24 as written: 

“Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. [2] And do not be CONFORMED to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be TRANSFORMED and PROGRESSIVELY CHANGED [as you mature spiritually] by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may PROVE [for yourselves] what the WILL of God is, that which is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT [in His plan and purpose for you]” Romans 12:1-2/Amplified. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT, BEHAVIOUR] the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] and BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND; [24] and that ye PUT ON the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

Herein, but not limited to, the WHAT in Christ Jesus, that POTENTIALLY, we ARE or HAVE or BECOME in the grace. For He has: 

  • REDEEMED us 
  • Washed us 
  • Saved us 
  • Called us 
  • Predestined us 
  • Translated us 
  • Justified us 
  • Glorified us 
  • Blessed us 
  • Loved us 
  • Sanctified us 
  • Converged us 
  • Forgiven us 
  • Delivered us 
  • Transferred us 
  • Qualified us 
    … and such like the more 

And RENEWING our mind, otherwise, being RENEWED in the spirit of our mind, entails: to extend the validity of something, or to make something new, fresh, or strong again, like renewing vigour or to extend validity — to grant or obtain an extension for something, to make it valid for a further period, the end of which is to ensure wholeness. 

The act of Spiritual renewal [renewing the spirit of the mind] means revitalising, refreshing, restoring, rejuvenating one’s spiritual life and relationship with God in Christ Jesus. 
It involves a deeper connection to one’s faith, a transformation of the heart and mind, and a renewed commitment to spiritual practices, leading to a more vibrant and effective spiritual journey. 
This process can be personal [individual], or it can occur at a collective level within a community [Church] of common goals. 

This is not refurbishing or reformation per se, but a complete act of change that’s progressive to become and in becoming and actualising the graciousness and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Some Key Aspects of Spiritual Mind Renewal [Renewing of The Mind] In Terms Of: 

  • Revitalisation and rejuvenation: It is a process of bringing new life, energy, and strength to the SPIRIT-BEING, which may have become weakened or worn down. 
  • Deepened Faith: A spiritual renewal often involves a more profound understanding of spiritual truths and a greater commitment to one’s faith. 
  • Transformation: It can bring about a fundamental change in one’s heart and mind, aligning them with their spiritual beliefs and values in scriptural context. 
  • Active Participation: The concept often includes reviving spiritual practices and engaging in actions that reflect one’s faith within scriptural context. 
  • Connection with God: In many scriptural contexts, it involves a renewed and strengthened relationship with God, experiencing His presence, guidance, and peace. 
  • Community Impact: For some Church communities, spiritual renewal can also refer to a collective spiritual awakening or a return to the true form of their faith in the Lord. 

The whole essence of the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, otherwise BEING RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND, is to help you articulate the GOOD, the ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT will of GOD in our redemption in the grace. 

This act of regeneration and renewing is a consequence of the KNOWLEDGE of God in any CONTEXT that you require to BEING TRANSFORMED to fulfil purpose in the grace. 

And it is also by the Holy Spirit of RENEWING for our progressive Day by Day in our being transformed to become a living Epistle and testament of God’s promises. 

And the outcome of the renewing of our mind [being renewed in the spirit of your mind] changes one from GLORY to GLORY in order to actualise the full meaningful life of God in Christ Jesus in the grace. 

“And have PUT ON the NEW MAN, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that CREATED him: [11] where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all” Colossians 3:10-11. 

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, [3] according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: [4] whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4. 

“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER SELF is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER SELF is being [progressively] RENEWED DAY BY DAY. [17] For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! [18] So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18/Amplified. 

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of REGENERATION, and RENEWING of the Holy Ghost” Titus 3:4-5. 

I hereby compel you by the mercies in the grace of God, to take on a daily step of Faith through this month and moment and beyond, in an onward and upward trajectory, to know that as you are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead, you will ACTUALISE the good, acceptable and perfect [whole, complete, total and matured] will of God, to enable you to thrive and not be in survival anymore through ignorance, as you do life and live godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

And by this Month, as you follow to read and explore the other teaching posts [publications], may our good and faithful, true and sure God, give you the enabling grace and access to know His good, acceptable and perfect will, for you in His eternal purpose on earth. 

And may you come to know what and why the theme is so relevant for you in the now and all about God’s FULNESS in the theme; and in the course of the expository teaching and preaching on the month theme — “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” — to ensure your redemption rights and privileges, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT, BEHAVIOUR] the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] and BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND; [24] and that ye PUT ON the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER SELF is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER SELF is being [progressively] RENEWED DAY BY DAY. [17] For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! [18] So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18/Amplified. 

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of REGENERATION, and RENEWING of the Holy Ghost” Titus 3:4-5. 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. [18] Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. [21] For He MADE Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV. 

 
SUMMARY 
The message is a call to every believer in Christ Jesus to be progressively TRANSFORMED/TRANSFIGURED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, so that the spiritual possessions we have in Him become tangible, lived reality, and we can PROVE and ACTUALISE the GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT will of God in our daily lives.

Key Points: 

  1. THE BIBLICAL MANDATE FOR TRANSFORMATION 
    “Do not be CONFORMED to this world… but be TRANSFORMED and PROGRESSIVELY CHANGED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” Romans 12:1-2. 
    This is so that we may PROVE what the will of God is — that which is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT.
  2. FROM POTENTIAL TO KINETIC IN CHRIST 
    In Christ, being TRANSFORMED means making what you ARE of God POTENTIALLY [potential energy], become KINETICALLY [kinetic energy]. 
    Our spiritual state of possession in the HEAVENLY places must become tangible in our physical state — liveable, reachable, lovable, touchable 2 Corinthians 3:18.
  3. OUR POSSESSION IN REDEMPTION 
    By virtue of redemption we ARE: Redeemed, Washed, Saved, Called, Predestined, Justified, Glorified, Blessed, and more. 
    We have been BLESSED with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES Ephesians 1:3. 
    The Holy Spirit SEALS us, APPROPRIATES us, ESTABLISHES us, CERTIFIES us, and GUARANTEES us 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.
  4. THE PROCESS: RENEWING THE MIND, NOT REFURBISHING 
    Transformation is secured by RENEWING YOUR MIND / BEING RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23. 
    This means: PUT OFF the old man, PUT ON the new man Ephesians 4:22-24. 
    It is revitalising, refreshing, restoring and rejuvenating our spirit-being. It deepens faith, aligns heart and mind with Scripture, and strengthens our connection with God.
  5. THE OUTCOME: GLORY TO GLORY AND FULFILMENT OF PURPOSE 
    Renewing the mind enables us to articulate and ACTUALISE God’s will, and to thrive instead of merely surviving in ignorance. 
    It makes us living Epistles and testaments of God’s promises, changing us from GLORY to GLORY 2 Corinthians 3:18. 
    It happens both personally and corporately [Church community].
  6. STATES OF REDEMPTION AND TRANSFORMATION 
    In REDEMPTION: We ARE Redeemed. We ARE Being Redeemed. We SHALL Be Redeemed. 
    In TRANSFORMATION: We ARE Transformed. We ARE Being Transformed. We SHALL Be Transformed. 
     

Call to Action: 

  1. COMPELLED TO DAILY FAITH: I hereby compel you by the mercies in the grace of God, to take on a daily step of Faith through this month and moment and beyond, in an onward and upward trajectory. 
  2. RENEW YOUR MIND INTENTIONALLY: Present your bodies as a living sacrifice and refuse conformity. Focus on godly values and ethical attitudes so your mind is renewed. 
  3. ENGAGE THE TEACHING: Follow and explore the other teaching posts on the month theme — “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” — to receive enabling grace and access to know God’s will for you in His eternal purpose. 
  4. LIVE GODLY IN THE GRACE: Move from survival to thriving. Do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead, ensuring your redemption rights and privileges are actualised.

BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD! 

“. . . [2] And do not be CONFORMED to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be TRANSFORMED and PROGRESSIVELY CHANGED [as you mature spiritually] by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may PROVE [for yourselves] what the WILL of God is, that which is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT [in His plan and purpose for you]” Romans 12:1-2/Amplified. 

This season is marked by BLESSEDNESS. Our charge and focus remains: “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen!  

This speaks of the Blessedness of God by faith, it means you ARE being EMPOWERED to succeed, achieve, become and thrive in all that God has done in you in Christ Jesus. It is your season to authenticate [enact] and be ensured of God’s enabling – that by “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead, blessedness will become your daily reality. Amen. 

This October is your season to be EFFECTUAL [productive and result oriented], in your redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. For it is as you are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace in Christ Jesus, that your essence in the Kingdom plan, purpose and pursuit of God will become tangible, reachable, liveable, lovable and indeed, your reality. 

By the knowledge and understanding of this October charge, it is my earnest PRAYER that you resolve to take a step of faith in the grace to ENACT – “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” – in order to live meaningfully and fulfil the commission mandate that is upon you and upon us all: to be Earthly useful and Heavenly minded, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

And for your refreshing: OCTOBER is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It is one of the seven months with 31 days. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is commonly associated with AUTUMN, while in parts of the Southern Hemisphere it aligns with SPRING –a reminder that God brings a new season, new fruitfulness and new harvest in the life of His people.  

The Month of October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. And the name October comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of NEW BEGINNING, signifying BLESSEDNESS which encompasses – WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE, FERTILITY and more of such like.  Furthermore, the month of October is normally the time of the year when farmers harvest their crops – an indication of productivity and abundance. To me this is significant, such that as we are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND”, we can then walk into the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus’ stead in our redemption. 

Therefore, as we take daily steps of Faith through this month in an onward and upward trajectory, I want you to know that as you are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead, you will not just survive – you will THRIVE in the grace.  

And through this Month, as we follow along in the teaching to explore more on this by God’s enabling grace, you will come to know what and why this is so relevant for you in the now, and all about God’s FULNESS. And in the cause of the expository teaching and preaching on – “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” – may you find the enabling of God’s grace in our redemption, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

I PRAY you have an awesome experience of BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead, through the Month of October. Amen. 

Blessed regards. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2. 

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the same image from GLORY TO GLORY, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:18. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT, BEHAVIOUR] the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] and BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND; [24] and that ye PUT ON the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

“And have PUT ON the NEW MAN, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that CREATED him: [11] where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all” Colossians 3:10-11. 

“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER SELF is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER SELF is being [progressively] RENEWED DAY BY DAY. [17] For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! [18] So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18/Amplified. 

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of REGENERATION, and RENEWING of the Holy Ghost” Titus 3:4-5. 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. [18] Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. [21] For He MADE Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a prophetic charge and teaching for the month of October titled “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!” 
It calls Believers to embrace a season of BLESSEDNESS by allowing God to renew their minds, so that they can live productively, thrive, and fulfil God’s Kingdom purpose. The message ties the natural significance of October — as a month of harvest, new beginning, and abundance — to the spiritual truth of transformation through Christ. 

This charge is built on Romans 12:1-2 and presents transformation as a progressive, grace-enabled work of God. October is positioned as a strategic season where God’s people are empowered to move from survival to thriving. 

The name October originally meant “eight” — the biblical number for NEW BEGINNING — and it falls at harvest time. This naturally speaks of BLESSEDNESS: WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE, FERTILITY, and PRODUCTIVITY. 

Spiritually, that same principle applies as we renew our minds in Christ, we authenticate God’s enabling power in us. This renewal makes God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for our lives become tangible, reachable, liveable and our reality. The goal is not just success, but FULFILMENT — being earthly useful and heavenly minded. 

Multiple scriptures are used to show that transformation is: 

  1. Not conforming to the world 
  2. Putting off the old man and putting on the new 
  3. An inner renewal that happens day by day 
  4. The evidence of being a new creation in Christ 
  5. The pathway to proving God’s good, acceptable and perfect will 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE CENTRAL THEME: TRANSFORMATION THROUGH RENEWAL
    “Be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” Romans 12:2
    Transformation is progressive. It happens as we focus on godly values and allow the Holy Spirit to renew our thinking so we can prove God’s will. 
  2. THE SEASONAL SIGNIFICANCE: OCTOBER = BLESSEDNESS & NEW BEGINNING
    October = 8th month originally. Number 8 = NEW BEGINNING, BLESSEDNESS.
    October = harvest month = PRODUCTIVITY AND ABUNDANCE. 
    Therefore this is your season to be EFFECTUAL — productive and result-oriented in your redemption rights. 
  3. THE OUTCOME OF RENEWED MIND: THRIVING NOT SURVIVING
    As you are being transformed, your essence in God’s Kingdom plan becomes real.
    You are EMPOWERED to succeed, achieve, become and THRIVE in Christ Jesus’ stead. 2 Corinthians 3:18 
  4. THE BIBLICAL PATTERN OF RENEWAL
  • Put off the old man and conduct Ephesians 4:22 
  • Be renewed in the spirit of your mind Ephesians 4:23 
  • Put on the new man created in righteousness Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10 
  • Inner man renewed day by day even as outer man wastes away 2 Corinthians 4:16 
  • New Creation reality: Old things passed away, all things become new 2 Corinthians 5:17 
  1. THE PURPOSE: FULFIL THE COMMISSION MANDATE
    To be earthly useful and heavenly minded. To walk in God’s good, acceptable and perfect will.
    To live as AMBASSADORS for Christ with the ministry of reconciliation 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. ENACT THE CHARGE DAILY: Take deliberate steps of faith this October to live “BEING TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND”. Don’t just hear it — practice it. 
  2. REJECT CONFORMITY: Refuse the world’s superficial values and customs. Set your mind on godly values and eternal things Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 4:18 
  3. EMBRACE THE SEASON: Walk into the BLESSEDNESS of God for this month. Expect NEW BEGINNINGS, HARVEST, WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY in every area as you align with God. 
  4. LIVE WITH PURPOSE: Be diligent to fulfil the commission mandate. Be earthly useful and heavenly minded. Let your transformed life prove God’s will. 
  5. FOLLOW THE TEACHING: Stay with the expository teaching this month to gain deeper understanding of God’s FULLNESS in this theme by His enabling grace

TO BEING TRANSFORMED: BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND! 

Herein are some Scriptural FOOD worth pondering [meditating] in context: 

“That, regarding your previous way of life, you PUT OFF YOUR OLD SELF [completely discard your former nature], which is being CORRUPTED through deceitful desires, [23] and be continually RENEWED in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude], [24] and PUT ON THE NEW SELF [the regenerated and renewed nature], CREATED in God’s image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the truth [living in a way that expresses to God your gratitude for your salvation]” Ephesians 4:22-24/Amplified. 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2. 

“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER SELF is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER SELF is being [progressively] RENEWED DAY BY DAY. [17] For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! [18] So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18/Amplified. 

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of REGENERATION, and RENEWING of the Holy Ghost” Titus 3:4-5.

And by the knowledge and understanding of the entitled month context, it’s my earnest PRAYERS that you resolve to take a step of faith in the grace to ENACT the Month October theme – “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND”, for this is in order to live meaningfully and fulfilling in the commission mandate that’s about you and to us all – of being Earthly useful and Heavenly minded, in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen. 

Let me just refresh your mind in knowing something’s about Month OCTOBER; month October, is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars – and it’s the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days. In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of AUTUMN and is commonly associated with the season of SPRING in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and AUTUMN in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. 

The Month October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. And the name October, comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of NEW BEGINNING signifying BLESSEDNESS which encompasses – WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY and more of such like. And month October is normally the time of the year when farmers harvest their crops – indicating productivity and abundance. That to me it’s important, such that, as we are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND”, we can then ensure the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead in our redemption. 

Therefore, as we take on a daily step of Faith through this month in an onward and upward trajectory, I want you to know that as you are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead, you will see yourself thrive, not just survive, in His grace.  

And through the Month, as you follow along the teaching to explore on the theme by God’s enabling grace, you will come to know what and why the theme is so relevant for you in the now and all about God’s FULNESS in the theme; and in the cause of the expository teaching and preaching on the theme as entitled – “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” – may you find the enabling of God’s grace in our redemption, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

I PRAY you have an awesome blessedness in Christ Jesus stead, through the Month October. Amen. 

Blessed regards. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2. 

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the same image from GLORY TO GLORY, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:18. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT, BEHAVIOUR] the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] and BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND; [24] and that ye PUT ON the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

“And have PUT ON the NEW MAN, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that CREATED him: [11] where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all” Colossians 3:10-11. 

“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER SELF is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER SELF is being [progressively] RENEWED DAY BY DAY. [17] For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! [18] So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18/Amplified. 

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of REGENERATION, and RENEWING of the Holy Ghost” Titus 3:4-5. 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. [18] Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. [21] For He MADE Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.
