The Transformation
If anyone would have asked me what I would be doing at the age of 52, I am sure my answer would not have been pursuing a master's degree in ministry leadership with a concentration in church planting. We must stop and ask ourselves: "is what we live for worth Jesus' death?" When I answered this question five years ago, I fell far short of honoring the reason for Jesus' death. I was a Jack! I thought I didn't need His Word, and I could do it on my own. I was wrong; through Jesus, I realized I needed to change. As a new husband and father, I needed more than me. I had to remove myself from the equation; let Jesus into my heart, give Him the room to work, and that is when life changed.
Transformation happens within us when we act and believe differently than before. We become Uncommen through our actions, our words, and our expressions of love. We are ultimately influenced by what we think, and the mind is a very powerful influencer. When we use God's truth to replace our old ways of thinking and identify with His Word, we become transformed, we become Uncommen, and we become unique to those around us.
The book of Acts is compelling and transformative in many ways. Forty miracles are recorded of which thirty-nine happen entirely outside of the walls of the church. One place you will not find the Apostles much is inside the church. We, Uncommen men, are no different and can develop relationships anywhere we may be. The church goes far beyond the walls to seek the lost. When examining Acts 9, the most significant transformation of Saul exemplifies how God uses everyone in and through His design.
How do you think Saul may have felt at that moment in Acts 9? Jesus knew who was to be His messenger despite the uneasiness of the other apostles. Paul suffered and suffered; however, he proved to be exponentially influential in the multiplication of the church, discipleship making, and leadership training. Paul is an example of God using anyone and everything to advance the Kingdom.
The faith life does not guarantee a comfortable experience, but it will create a transformed life in ourselves and others.
Uncommen Questions:
Ask yourself, what would you do in Paul's position when surrounded by the light of heaven?
Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance in your life for promises to believe.
Uncommen Challenge:
I challenge you to go into the city, go into the world, and be UNCOMMEN. Suffer for Him, create new relationships, and believe what you confess.
Scripture Reference:
Acts 9: 1-19
