\”Do Not Conform Yourself To The World,But Let God Transform You Inwardly By A Complete Change Of Your Mind…\” (Roman 12:2)
\”Conformity Is The Jailer Of Freedom And The Enermity Of Growth\” (J F KENNEDY)
To Conform means following the crowd or thinking and behaving in such a pattern of life of other people rigidly. Conformity is an action or act of conforming to something already established by the world. It is a compliance to a set rules or regulations.
Change they say is the only constant thing. If everyone is happy with you, it means you have probably made a lot of compromises in your life sufficing it to show that you are not a person of principle. Indeed change is painful and very discomforting,in fact today\’s change may bring about tomorrow\’s comfort.
Sometimes, time can determine the level of change a thing can attain for instance when a Bird is alive, it eats ants but when the birds dies ant eats up the bird. One tree can produce millions of match sticks but It takes just one match stick to burn millions of trees.
Life is about moving on and accepting changes. You cannot start the next page of your life if you keep on rereading the last chapter of your life. When you don\’t like something around you, you can effect some changes,change your attitude and the way you think about it, it will change, think outside the box and you will get a different result. Be hungry and thirsty for change. Desire to know more and do more, change your mind set and believe in yourself confidence. Your life is your message to the world make sure it is inspiring enough for others to emulate. Stop copycatting,be original of what you can be.
Apostle Paul in the book of Galatians 1, Paul was trying to narrate his story defending himself about having the same right to be called an apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ. He insisted that his call was from God not from human authority and his mission was meant specifically for the Gentiles not for the Jews. He said \” l did not go to anyone for advice nor did l go to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me instead,l went at once to Arabian and then I returned to Damascus. It was three years later that I went to Jerusalem to obtain information from Peter and I stayed with him for 2 weeks. .\” (Galatians 1:16-19)
In order words Paul actually was called and separated not to conform with the other apostles that were there before him rather he was chosen to spread the good news to the gentiles instead of the Jews.
Learn to be different, have your own swagger and be ready to be diligent and determined you never can imagine that others may que behind you and join your style.
It is wisdom not to compromise in order to please everybody to avoid being hurt by people. Always strive to please God and found out what God wants from you and not what the crowed wants from you
When people hurt you over and over again consider them as a sand paper, they may scratch and hurt you, but later you be shining and will be well polished by their actions. Always be open to change because through that God is opening the door to growth in your life.
Refuses to conform! It has paralyzed great destinies, Separate yourself from them and be special
