*FROM FORMATION TO CONFORMATION*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  30 April 2024*


SCRIPTURE: For whom he did foreknow, he also did Predestinate to be conformed to the Image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many Brethren - *Romans 8:29*


God formed man out of the dust of the Ground in His Own Image and after His Own Likeness - *Genesis 2:7; Genesis 1:26*


The devil came and deformed man - *Genesis 3:1-7*


Jesus came to reform Man - *2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 5:17*


The Knowledge of Christ takes a man from reformation to transformation - *Romans 12:1-2; John 15:19*


The Continuous Knowledge of Christ Changes a man from the Stage of Transformation to Conforming Him into the Image of Christ - *2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:29*


When a man is conformed to the Image of Christ, Christ is not only formed in him but also visible through him - *Galatians 4:19; 1 John 4:4; Galatians 2:20; Acts 11:26; Acts 4:13*


Since Christ is formed and visible through him, he can work the works of God - *John 14:12*


*The Continuous Knowledge of Christ empowers man to work for God.*


Hence, the Apostles said we will give ourselves continually to Prayer and to the Ministry of the Word - *Acts 6:4*


*Prayer:*

Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ, Please give me the Grace to know You more.
