Rather Than Living A Fake Life, it is Better You Do This – Apostle Selman Advises

RATHER THAN LIVING A FAKE LIFE, IT IS BETTER TO STAY WITH GOD AND STAY WITH MEN WHO HAVE MADE IT AND BEGIN TO TRANSFORM YOUR MIND.

WHEN YOU ARE LAZY, BOTH GOD AND THE devil CANNOT USE YOU BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM REQUIRE A LEVEL OF DILIGENCE.

THE DECISION TO KNOW GOD IS A NOBLE DECISION. YOU MUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT YOU WILL MAKE MAXIMUM SPIRITUAL PROGRESS.

WHEN THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST SWALLOWS YOU UP, IT LIFTS YOU BEYOND THE LIMITATIONS THAT COME WITH YOUR REGION.

AFRICA IS THE WAY IT IS, SADLY AND UNFORTUNATELY, LARGELY BECAUSE OF OUR BELIEF SYSTEMS.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE INTO NOTHING. YOU MUST HAVE A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE THAT YOU WANT TO BECOME.

Apostle Joshua Selman on “SHINE FORTH” || RCCG INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CONVENTION 2022

DAY 3 Morning (Plenary Session 4)

Jeremiah 9:13-16. Matthew 22:37. The decisions you must make if you want to shine forth, have a life of grace, destiny, beauty, colour, and impact:

1. The decision to make exceptional spiritual progress: Not just spiritual progress, exceptional spiritual progress. Matthew 22:37. There are consequences to making this investment of knowing God. Daniel 11:32. 

The decision to know God is a noble decision. You must make up your mind that you will make maximum spiritual progress. There are a number of indices in the Bible that measures a man’s spiritual progress: 

a) The health of your prayer life

b) The strength of your word study life

c) The strength of your character: the degree of your conformity to the image and the character of the Christ in experience.

d) The out workings of the grace and the power of God in and through your life

Don’t tell me, “I am Yoruba, I am Igbo, or Hausa.” No! When the character of Christ swallows you up, it lifts you beyond the limitations that come with your region. The life of God is able to swallow up these limitations. 

Don’t tell me you have known God and you are working with the Word of God, the Spirit of God and we do not see the manifestation of the grace and the power of God in and though your life. It is impossible. 

Ephesians 5:14. There are many of you who are lukewarm spiritually. Church Gist. God is giving a chance to realize that the decisions you are making to ignore God will have a consequence in your life tomorrow.  

2. The decision to contend for superior belief systems: in other words, a transformed mind. A transformed mind is not just an European mind, a Western mind; it is a mind that has been so cultured by the Word of God. Philippians 2:5. 

Jesus had a mindset; he had a philosophy, a set of beliefs that sponsored His excelling when He was on Earth. Proverbs 23:7. Africa is the way it is, sadly and unfortunately, largely because of our belief systems. The West in terms of technological advancement and development is the way it is largely because of a philosophy and a belief system they decided to embrace.

Until your belief system changes, your life will not change. Proverbs 23:7. You are already equal to your thought life. There are many tongue talking believers who have not settled to obtain a superior belief system. And sadly, we continue to recycle pain and mediocrity in our lives. 

TWO WAYS TO CONTEND FOR TRANSFORMATION

a) You must have a reference that looks like what you want to become. You cannot change into nothing. 2 Corinthians 3:18. You must have a picture of the future that you want to become. Church Gist. Transformation is difficult without a reference. Isaiah 51:2. The Bible is not ashamed to tell us to look unto people. 

b. Access to superior information: Information that is word compliant and can transform your understanding. This is where the place of books, teachings, useful resources in helping your mindset comes in to play. Most of us are lazy. 

You may have heard me say it: that when you are lazy, both God and the devil cannot use you because both of them require a level of diligence. Even if it is the devil you want to serve you must still be diligent. Laziness is one area, whether from God’s side or from satan’s side you are still a disadvantage to them both.

When a young man is sleeping for 12 hours, 10 hours every day not doing anything, he is programming pain in the later years of your life. Lamentations 3:27. You must obtain grace; go for knowledge. Rather than living a fake life, wearing what is not your own, eating what is not your level, snapping behind people’s vehicles and homes and putting it online, it is better to stay with God and stay with men who have made it and begin to transform your mind. Anywhere your mind goes to, your body must eventually follow. 

If your mind has gone to Canaan, even if your body is in Egypt, your mind will force your body to follow it to Canaan. The future that your body cannot enter now, send your mind there. Anything your mind has caught, your body must express it. It is impossible for your body to not follow. 

Go and buy books; technology and the internet have made it very easy now. With the cheapest data available, you can have access to an array of resources that can build your mind. So, you do not have an excuse.
