Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭ “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

DAILY READING; Hebrews 1; Genesis 45:1-46:27; Psalm 36

A Nigerian-American preacher, John K. Amanchukwu Sr became famous after taking a stand during a school board meeting at the Indian River County (Florida) in August 2023. During that meeting, there was an uproar when he attempted to read out aloud the inappropriate contents of some books that were allowed to be in their children’s school library.
One of the videos which became viral was when Pastor John K. Amanchukwu read from the children’s book “13 Reasons Why” by Jay Asher.
As he quoted explicit and graphic passages from this book, he was constantly interrupted and asked to stop by the board members. When Amanchukwu continued reading from the book, security were called in and swiftly escorted him away from the microphone.
Another parent was cut off while attempting to read a passage from the book “Living Dead Girl” by Elizabeth Scott, describing an incident where an adolescent is exposed to pornography.
When pastor Amanchukwu’s video was made public, it went viral with millions of views. Many people were outraged that such obscene and sexually explicit contents could be available to young children in their school library.
Consequent to the public objections, the Florida school board voted unanimously to remove several of such inappropriate books from the school.

Because pastor Amanchukwu refused to confirm, he was able to positively transform the school’s policies
While many people applauded his courage to stand up and make a difference, he only saw himself as obeying the call to serve.
The truth is that as the gross darkness greatly increases in the world, sometimes it becomes necessary for us to go beyond the walls of the Church and do something practical, even radical to positively impact lives.
Jesus has made a difference in our hearts so that we can make a difference in our families, communities and nations.
God doesn’t just want to work in you, He wants to work through you to positively affect the world. We have been called as watchmen on the wall in these last days to stand in the gap and stop the encroachment of evil in our environment.
But we cannot give what we don’t have. We need a change of mindset. As we diligently study the Word, we will receive the mind of Christ and develop the deep convictions that will propel us into positive actions . The interesting thing is that while pastor Amanchukwu was trying to stand up to the school’s wrong policies, it became an incident that made him famous and opened up massive doors of opportunities. Indeed when our desire is to make positive changes, God can use it to open up greater doors in our lives.
On this first day of October, let us receive the grace and courage to begin to stand up for the truth wherever we go. It is time to be less complacent and more proactive in expressing our faith. As we step into this last quarter of the year, let our hearts burn with passion to do outstanding things for Christ.
Certainly, as we passionately seek to make a difference in the world, our lives will supernaturally overflow with divine rewards and abundant blessings..

PRAYER: Lord, today, I receive the grace to open up my heart to think in line with Your Word so that I can make a difference in the lives of others and positively impact my generation in Jesus Name.
