How does one do the selection process in which particular transformation church to go to on Sundays that embodies the will of the LORD? What do we need to look for in a transformation church?
Individuals may stray away from the presence of the Mighty God, but emptiness sets in when your Abba father is not around. Henceforth, he runs back to the loving arms of God the Father just as a prodigal son returns to his father. This reunion with his children makes the LORD so happy.
The human race will always come and seek the face of the LORD. mankind will always draw near to the side of God Adonai. People will always let the LORDS power of love surround them. Only then God changes your heart and soul. We rejoice and finds solace in the loving arms of our Sovereign God.
Just as parents’ strengths pours on their own children with all their hearts as a bonded family in the LORD, so does the steadfast strength of the LORD surrounds his children. Thus, they would find ultimate joy in being with the LORD.
How does one return his love for the LORD? This is via attending regular Sunday services, group bible study and prayer meetings with fellow Christian believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our hope is only with the LORD Jesus– there is nothing we can do without him.
No one else who brings salvation but Christ alone, the Name above all Name. People would naturally connect with the LORD thru prayers, reading the bible and Sunday service worship Sunday transformation church.
Lord Jesus dont belong only to you— henceforth share Jesus.

What do we need to look for in a transformation church
1. Teachings about Jesus
The teachings in a transformation church must always point to LORD Jesus and the teachings must always come from the Holy Book of God. You ought to know what are the things that your church you are attending are spiritually feeding its people, not just you are there merely to hear and listen, you ought to also know how to discern every time you go to church.
Henceforth, how do we know if they are teaching the right way and that they are basing in solely from the Holy Bible and points to Jesus? We will know they are teaching the correct way and the will of God once they are teaching the Holy God the father and God the Son Jesus Christ.
It should be centered on JESUS– and not on people and its leaders. It should be centered on the Rock and the Redeemer– and not on making excessive profits from the church goers. It should be centered on reaching out to the lost souls and the sick in spirit.
It should be centered on the Sovereign Holy God, not on a mere false man-made god curved out from woods or figurines that cannot hear nor answer you at all because that is a great abomination to the LORD. The preaching must be exactly the same with what God is teaching in the Bible, no revisions nor omissions.
Once you see there are added or omitted or changed the content of the Bible to make a new different one from a standpoint of an atheist or a communist nation to deceive people from what the LORD is teaching just like what China is trying to do recently, that is delicately dangerous, that will destroy you and brings you to the abyss of fire in hell. Be careful and trust in Jesus alone because he is everything.
~1 Timothy 2:5~Jesus Mediator,Savior
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
~Exodus 20:3-4~ Warning against idolatry
“Worship no other god but me. ” Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment to those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and the fourth generation.
~Deuteronomy 4:15-18~False man-made gods
“When the LORD spoke to you from the fire on Mount Sinai, you did not see any form. For your own good, then, make certain that you do not sin by making for yourselves an idol in any form at all– whether man or woman, animal or bird, reptile or fish.
~Jeremiah 10:2-5~ Idolatry false gods
He says, “Do not follow the ways of other nations; do not be disturbed by unusual sights in the sky, even though other nations are terrified. The religion of these people is worthless. A tree is cut down in the forest; it is carved by the tools of the woodworker and decorated with silver and gold. It is fastened down with nails to keep it from falling over. Such idols are like scarecrows in a field of melons; they cannot speak; they have to be carried because they cannot walk. do not be afraid of them: they can cause you no harm, and they can do you no good.”
~1 Corinthians 10:20-22~ Pagans false gods
No! What I am saying is that what is sacrificed on pagan altars is offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink from the Lord’s cup and also from the cup of demons; you cannot eat at the Lord’s table and also at the table of demons. Or do we want to make the Lord jealous? Do we think we are stronger than he?
~Galatians 1:7-8~ One Gospel
Actually, there is no “other gospel,” but I say this because there are some people who are upsetting you and trying to change the gospel of Christ (just like China is doing now). But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that is different from the one we preached to you, may he be condemned to hell!
It says in Timothy that there is only LORD JESUS as our mediator and Savior. Further it says in Galatians there is only one Gospel of Christ, and those who preached another gospel should be accursed by the LORD. IN Galatians chapter 1 Paul was disappointed with how some false preachers were able to easily lure the people away from the Scripture, away from the truth– they were to be punished by God.
Thats why we need to read our Holy BIBLE every day. We ought to have our personal devotional a Christian believer ought to have in the glory of the one true GOD. In that way we will know the teachings of our God and His will for us and the Good News.
Now if we dont know anything about the Holy Bible and dont read it how can we know and differentiate between what is right from wrong. If your dont read your bible what happens is you will just receive all the teachings of the church, but what’s dangerous is if they teach the wrong teachings, you will absorb it and you will believe it.
You will be misguided away from the LORD, be at lost and suffer from damnification due to the false teachings that you’re feed on Sunday worship. He should not only teach always about himself rather he should always teach about the LORD Jesus.
He should always introduce Jesus on the congregation. He should teach about sin, the hell as the consequence of sin– and the liberation of sin found alone in the LORD Jesus Christ. That yes, we are sinners but are saved thru the blood of Jesus, that our belief in Jesus paved way for our salvation. That He will give us a life that is everlasting.
2. Teachings of Jesus coming soon
And most of all the transformation church must always teach about the 2nd coming of Jesus our hope as believers of Christ. If they dont teach about the 2nd coming of Jesus that implies they dont believe in our LORD Jesus coming soon for the 2nd time for your salvation on the rapture day.
~Revelation 22:12~ Jesus coming soon
“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.
~Matthew 24:30~
Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The bible clearly states that the LORD Jesus will return in all his glory to save his chosen children. You should always hear at your church the hope that Jesus Christ is saying and when the right time comes for his will. And we will be with him in the new heaven and land for eternity. Forgiveness still flourishes at the forefront.
3. Tree of Love
There should be a flourishing tree of love– one filled with love and hope in the transformation church. It is normal and part and parcel of any church to have misunderstanding and concerns as there is no perfect church in this temporal world.
Even in the New Testament church they suffer misunderstandings amongst themselves and to the people and the pharisees. Despite the misunderstanding of the transformation church– the love and forgiveness still spring up and sprout as is the case with families. Simply because LORD Jesus is present.
Our temporal world has skewed the meaning of true love, but God’s Word remains the steadfast source of divine knowledge and wisdom. But greater is the love of God for mankind.
~John 3:16~ The Tree of Love
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
4. Fellowship
There is always a unified fellowship with the pastors’ leaders and members that dont just end with Sunday service worship. Yet there should be still other ways of fellowship like the prayer meeting and praise and worship, group bible study the church practice so as to strengthen the church and the believers of Christ Jesus.
Fellowship plays a vital role in the life of a Christian believer in Christ. Thru this round up fellowship there is more love, concern, connection in each member for the believers in Christ Jesus. This is what God wants from us. If we see this in a church that means that transformation church belongs to the will of God.
The church should always have the sincere desire to put our lives in harmony with the will of the Lord— therefore they are following God’s commands.
~Acts 2:46-47~ Fellowship, Prayer Meetings
Day after day they met as a group in the Temple, and they had their meals together in their homes, eating with glad and humble hearts, praising God, and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the LORD added to their group those who were being saved.
5. No discrimination
Discrimination is harmful and perpetuates inequality. The transformation church should welcome anyone who wants to attend at the Sunday service. Others discriminate people, they only select who they will let inside their church or temple of praise– that is wrong.
Our LORD Jeus is totally full of compassion– whoever it is the LORD always accepts who wants to draw near him. The transformation church should be like that too to welcome anyone anybody who wants to enter the church of God even if he is a sinner like you were once before you became Christ follower yourself because God will use that church to make that person draw near to Jesus and grow in him more.
~Acts 10:34~
Opening his mouth, Peter said: “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality.
6. Focus on evangelism
The transformation churches should have focus on evangelism, discipleship, sharing the Good News and salvation of Jesus Christ. Hence if you are looking for a church, you ought to see this transpiring on the church and its people sharing the words of our Sovereign God.
That means evangelizing and discipleship too. They should go out of the temple and evangelize. The leader and members alike must have a heart for souls, a heart and compassion for the mission just like our Lord Jesus Christ did.
You should see in the church that there are a lot of people and members there used by God, they dont just stay there at the church but goes out of the church to evangelize. That is to go out into the world and share their beliefs with non-believers.
They are doing something for the LORD Jesus Christ. They are sharing the good news as that is what Jesus commands his children. If the believers didn’t follow that, we ourselves will not be reach out by the good news by our LORD.
We will not be saved, we will be harmed and doomed to the enemy of God in hell, but good thing they follow Jesus teachings and reach out to us and to others. The church belief should be that they alone should not be saved, rather they are commanded by God to share the salvation also to other people around.
~Romans 10:12-15~Salvation is for All
This includes everyone, because there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles” God is the same Lord of all and richly blesses all who call to him. As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.” But how can they call to him for help if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message? And how can they hear if the message is not proclaimed? And how can the message be proclaimed if the messengers are not sent out? As the scripture says, “How wonderful is the coming of messengers who bring good news!”
7. Helping the community
The transformation church should be serving the LORD and helping in the community or to the ones who needs more help. This is how Jesus’ heart is– he has a big heart for his people. The church must be doing significant things to help others as well spiritually and in kinds.
