Today, we bring you a message from Pastor Steven Furtick titled, “ The Hidden Side Of Comparison.”
Pastor Furtick tells us that the challenge for a lot of people I’m preaching to is that sometimes we have to be something we’ve never seen before. You have to understand that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you; God’s hand is on you; there’s nothing more important than God, and you are who God says you are.
Many people don’t know who they are, so they went with what the world told them because they didn’t know what the Word of God said about them. We should not go through life copying what other people are doing because that which you copy is that which you become, and that which you believe is that which you become. We are saved by grace, and we are justified by faith, not works.
Is the way of life I am choosing producing the outcome I desire? We need more leaders in the world today and fewer influencers. A lot of the people we are emulating and imitating are not that way. In Romans 12:2, Paul says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” “Conformity” is something you can change. It’s like an attitude or a posture, and transforming is something that has to happen because of what’s on the inside.
Since you have Christ inside of you now, remember, you’re not serving at a tabernacle built with human hands. You have a risen Savior, Jesus, who has set an example for you to follow. The Spirit of God is in you, not the spirit of the world or the spirit of worry. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So, what’s in you has to come out, which is the spirit of God. The writer of Hebrews says, “Remember the word of God that was spoken to you, and copy that in your heart and in your life.”
