YOUR RIGHT IMAGE IS IN GOD’S WORD

“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 KJV)
Beloved, these are not the days to play church; the devil is out of the closet and on a rampage because he knows the end is near. The Word of God is not a literary material, filled with poetry and prose. Jesus speaking in John 6:63 (MSG); “…Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making.” The Word of God is Spirit and Life, and it is your reality. You are who the Word of God says you are, and you have what the Word of God says you have. That is your reality and nothing else. You are not defined by the opinions of men, irrespective of how influential the person is. What God’s Word says about you is final.
Unfortunately, we see how the media are using their platforms to pervert the order that God established in the world, which began at creation. Today, all kinds of people and agencies are promoting things that are at variance with God’s Word, and consequently destroying innocent lives. Issues such as promoting homosexuality and LGBTQIA+ rights are mainstream now, and have become normalized in developed nations, and even developing nations are not left out. Sadly, little children, who by the constitution are not categorized as adults and should be under the care and guidance of parents and guardians, are manipulated to receive hormone therapy and undergo sex-transition surgeries, simply because somewhere through the influence of cartoons, movies and television shows, they have been told that they have the power to choose their gender. Hence the rise of labels such as “gender nonconformists” and the like.
This is a fallout of the devil’s strategy to destroy mankind because he hates that man bears God’s image and likeness. All over the world, we see these sponsored attacks from the pit of hell against God’s sovereignty, and as believers, we must discern the times we are in and live circumspectly.
The Bible says, like in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the last days. We are inching very close to the return of the Son of Man. What was it like in the days of Noah? Immorality and demonic activities were the order of the day Child of God, you cannot afford to allow the world to form your opinions direct the course of your life. The Word of God is your mirror; see yourself in it. It does not matter what your lecturer told you or what you read in a book or on the internet.
The last time I checked, the scripture says to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Beloved, Jesus is your perfect example; He is your life.
