Have you ever considered that the parts of your body—your eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet—can be weapons either for righteousness or sin? This profound reality sits at the heart of Brother Matthews' message on "The Secret of Renewal."
Drawing from Romans 12:2 and Romans 6:13, Brother Matthews reveals that spiritual transformation doesn't come through self-improvement but through yielding ourselves completely to God. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind," the scripture commands, but how? The answer lies in understanding what it means to "yield yourselves unto God."
Brother Matthews breaks down this yielding process with practical clarity. Make a covenant with your eyes like Job did (Job 31:1), guarding what you allow yourself to see. Train your ears to discern truth from falsehood. Use your mouth to speak words that edify rather than destroy. Present your mind to be shaped by God's word rather than worldly philosophies. Even your face should reflect Christ's light to others.
The sermon cuts through religious pretense with refreshing honesty. "The world doesn't have any love," Brother Matthews declares, reminding us that true love comes only through God's Spirit working in yielded vessels. He contrasts the world's "that's just the way things are" resignation with the transformative power available to believers who decisively surrender their members to God.
What makes this message particularly powerful is its all-or-nothing approach. The Greek aorist tense used in Romans 6:13 indicates not a partial or repeated yielding but a once-for-all decision. "Not once, start out, go back, start out again, go back. No, that's not the Christian life," Brother Matthews explains. This complete surrender leads to the freedom and peace that only Christ can give.
Whether you're struggling with worldly habits, feeling spiritually stagnant, or simply seeking deeper transformation, this message offers the biblical path forward. As Brother Matthews testifies from personal experience: "I've never been so free in all my life until I became a Christian and doing His will."
