THE SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION WE ALL NEED

Loving God is easy when life is good. The harder question is whether we’re willing to be changed from the inside out, all the way down to our desires, our obedience, and our purpose. We open with Romans 12:2 and the call to stop conforming to the world and instead experience real renewal of the mind, the kind of change that proves God’s will in everyday life. 

From there, we lean into Ezekiel 36:26–27 and God’s promise of a new heart and a new spirit. We talk about what “spiritual transformation” actually means in practical terms, using a simple picture: raw yam has value, but it cannot feed anyone until it’s processed. In the same way, a life can be full of potential yet remain spiritually unproductive until God replaces hardness with a heart that can respond to His Spirit. We lay out clear signs of spiritual growth and Christian maturity: new awareness and clarity, less ego and more empathy, and an inner peace that comes from Spirit-led trust rather than flesh-driven anxiety. 

We also challenge the deeper shifts that must follow if transformation is real: spiritual surgery that produces obedience, a life of purpose instead of confusion, and an ultimate focus on making heaven no matter your role on earth. Along the way we connect key scriptures like 2 Corinthians 5:17, Philippians 2:3, Matthew 25:31–46, and Mark 8:37–38 to one central takeaway: nothing on earth is worth compromising your salvation.

Welcome And Scripture Reading

SPEAKER_00 0:01

Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. We welcome you to the hour of the word of our living God in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Bible with the book of Romans, chapter 12, verse 2. Romans 12, 2 says, And be not conformed to this word, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and the perfect will of God. It is my prayers that we will all be endowed to live a life that is transformed to fulfill the divine mandate of our God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Opening Prayer For Renewal

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Let us pray. Our wonderful Father and our God, we adore your name. Thank you for creating us in your image. This is a ready form for transformation always, once we are willing. In your words today, Lord, through this ministration, please open our hearts towards your divine guide and perfect the renewal of our hearts. Please release your spirit into us to ensure that walking in your status we become our nature. Let it be so, Lord, for we have prayed in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Defining Spiritual Transformation

SPEAKER_00 2:57

The topic of our message is the spiritual transformation that we all need. The spiritual transformation that we all need. We read verses 26 to 27. Ezekiel 36, verses 26 and 27. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh. And I will give you a heart of flesh, and I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my status, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them. Brethren, spiritual transformation is a deep inner change in how a person views life, purpose, and sacred. It involves shifting from self-centered habits to a life guided by love, peace, and higher awareness. A raw yam is a good ingredient for a good food. But yam in its raw form cannot be used as food for man until it is processed either by cooking, roasting, or frying. This is the type of transformation that our heart needs to move from the heart of stone to that of flesh, which God's spirit can inhabit.

Signs Of A Transformed Life

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Now, what are the key signs of spiritual transformation? What are the key signs of spiritual transformation? Number one, there will be an experience of new awareness. An experience of new awareness. When you are transformed, you will start seeing yourself and the world with more clarity and less judgment. In 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 17. 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. The Bible says, Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. All things are passed away. Behold, all things become new. Number two, as a sign of spiritual transformation, you'll be having less ego, you'll be moving away from selfish desires and focusing more on kindness and empathy for others. The Bible views empathy and selflessness as a deep inner change. God gives people a new heart. Yes, this change shifts a person's focus from themselves to the need of others. It mirrors the love and grace of Jesus Christ. In the book of Philippians, chapter 2, verse 3. Philippians 2, verse 3, the Bible says, Let nothing be done through the strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem each other better than themselves. And finally, you will be having an inner peace, a perfect inner peace. The Bible illustrates spiritual transformation through inner joy and calm as a natural result of moving from flesh-driven anxiety to spirit-led peace. This shift proves a person is growing closer to God and trusting his control over their life. In the book of Galatians, chapter 5, the Bible illustrates joy and peace as part of the fruit of the spirit.

Necessary Heart And Purpose Shifts

SPEAKER_00 7:40

Now, what are the key transformations that are necessary? What are the key transformations that are necessary for spiritual transformations? Number one, there should be a replacement of the heart of stone. This is called spiritual surgery. In Matthew chapter 25, verses 31 to 46. Matthew 25, verses 31 to 46. Jesus used the imagery of sheep and goat to depict the final separation of the righteous, which is depicted as a sheep, from the unrighteous that are depicted as goats, based on their active compassion for the vulnerable. The major differences between these two animals is obedience and submission. Obedience and submission. King David described God as his shepherd in Psalm 23. That means he has put himself in the position of a sheep. Are you at the level where you now see God as your commander and shepherd? Have you moved from the level of loving God to fearing God? Many people love God, yes, because he is a provider. He is good all the time, but only a few fear him. And so those who fear him are the ones that we hate what God hates, which is sin. Number two, you need to be living a life of purpose. Living a life of purpose. It may surprise you that if we ask many people to describe in one sentence what is your purpose in life, many will tell you accurately, oh, I have no idea. That's what is called ignorance. Some will tell you, maybe this or maybe that and that. That is what is called confusion. These two situations is what the devil wants because they provide the devil the basis for manipulating lives. If you don't know or you are not sure of what your purpose of life is, then anything can go. Anyone living a life different from serving God and fulfilling his divine mandate has missed it. I repeat, anyone living a life different from serving God and fulfilling his divine mandate has missed it in life. Are you in alignment with these objectives? And finally, your ultimate goal becomes making heaven. Your ultimate goal becomes to make heaven. No matter what. Yes. It's like a football team where you have different departments. Oh, the goalkeeper, the defender, the midfielder, the strikers. Eventually, your contribution from your department is to make your team to win the tournament. Making heaven should be your goal no matter where you operate here or not. No matter what you are doing here or not, no matter what your position is, near or not. The Bible in 1 Peter chapter 1, verses 8 and 9. 1 Peter chapter 1, verses 8 and 9 says, Though you have not seen him, you love him. And even though you do not see him now, you believe in him, and you are filled with unexpressible and glorious joy. For you are receiving the end result of your faith, which is the salvation of your souls. The essence of having a transformed life is to have the capacity by grace to keep God's statutes and ordinances. This is the only way that you can have the grace of salvation. That is why Jesus Christ asked us in the book of Mark, chapter 8, verses 37 and 38. Mark 8, verses 37 and 38 says, What shall it profit

Salvation Over Success

SPEAKER_00 12:55

a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? No matter how rich or poor you are on earth, please make sure nothing compromises your salvation. If being the owner of everything on earth does not compare with salvation, then the poor and the rich must make a decision today not to lose their salvation.

Closing Prayer And Share Request

SPEAKER_00 13:35

Brethren, let's close together this podcast with this singular prayer point. You say, My Father, my God, please help me in the transformation of my life. Grant me, Lord, the heart of obedience. Grant me the heart that fears you. Grant me the grace that ultimately will make me succeed in my divine assignment here on earth and reign with you in glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we have prayed. Amen. Want to thank you for your interest and patience in listening to this podcast. We believe that you have been greatly blessed. Please help share with as many people as possible. This will help many people who are stranded in finding their purpose in life. God is waiting for us all to ask for his help in prayers. You can also listen to this message and several other previous ones on diverse topics on our podcast streaming, codenamed Voice of Trinity. God bless you richly as you do so. Amen. My name is Benjamin Ola Sukami Olavi Julon.

Final Prayer And Blessing

SPEAKER_00 16:28

Let us pray. Father, we want to thank you for your inspiration always in ministering to us. Thank you for the privilege of choosing us and guiding us in our journey with you, Lord.

Grant us the capacity to walk in your ordinances and for the salvation of our soul. Let it be so, Lord, for we pray it in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
