What Makes You Different?

In order to be a world changer you must first be changed by the Word. The world is looking for something different they're looking for what they don't have, they're looking for God. You can't be like the world and expect to make a difference. You can't do things the same way they're doing them and expect to get different results. If you're like the world you'll blend in but you have to be like Christ and show the world the love of Christ. You have to be willing to stand out. You have to let the Word of God transform you before becoming a changer for anyone. As Romans 12:2 says, "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." You must be changed first. You can't be ashamed of who you serve, you can't be ashamed to share the Gospel, you can't be ashamed to show the love of God. We were chosen by God to show the love of God to others. We were chosen by God to do His work not what we want to do but what he wants to do through us, not my will but Your Will be done God. If we live life selfishly we've missed the whole point of life. Life is bigger than just you, it's about someone else. You can't be so caught up in self that you can't see another person hurting. You've been through things in life and learned about things to help others. You'll never get very far in life if all you think about is yourself. I say this often but Jesus himself came for us not to save himself! We needed Him! He was the Word made Flesh! God in earth. He seen the bigger picture that if he gave his life everyone else could have eternal life. He seen the bigger picture. But do you see the bigger picture? Do you see that your helping another person can save their life, it can give them hope, it can show them what God is all about. Helping someone else can give them the desire to help another person. Life is not about how many cars you can get or how many diamonds you can have, it's about what you can give that will make the difference. You can't get caught up on only wanting material things so bad that you forget your purpose in life. You have to understand that as you do the work of the Lord he'll do work on your behalf and you'll have material things. The bible says in Matthew 6:33, seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things shall be added to you. This is bigger than just you. The Kingdom of God is God's way of doing things. The bible says the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost(Romans 14:17). The only way to attain any of those things is through God. You can't have his Spirit if you don't know him. You can't have unshakable peace without God, you can't know what real joy is without God. You are not the righteousness of God without God. It's because of Jesus seeing beyond himself that allows us to have all these things including the Spirit of God which makes all things happen. You have to be willing to see beyond yourself to make a bigger difference. You don't have to go across the world to make a difference you can make a difference in your community. Don't get me wrong, there are people who are called overseas but many are called to their own backyards, own communities. You have to be willing to do God's work where you're at. The only way to do God's work is to know what God's about and be transformed by His word. His word makes you a world changer, not the world. Be willing to let the Word of God change you first before thinking you're going to change another. Being changed by God allows you to lead people in the right direction. It allows people to see the light and life of God. Let's be positive world changers, they're looking for someone like you. So let God transform you so you can help transform the world. Know the truth and stay free. Stay in the race.
