SUMMARY OF WHAT I LEARNT
It is the work and doing of God when a person has the desire to do God's work, to change and obey God. Coming back to God is a God given desire

PHILIPPIANS 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Man's Good pleasure starts with God. So doing Good started with God

Commonly the desires of men are things of the world, Common men do not desire God. People who desire the word of God are rare because normally people dersire normal things. What is natural for men is to desire normal things like having a dream of getting a big house, getting married, finishing school, having good grades. E.t.c

COLOSIANS 3:1-2
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

ACTS 17:27-28
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

ROMANS 2:4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

ACTS 18:2
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

EPHESIANS 2:11-12
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

No matters the race we come from ,God have a commandment that we must seek Him.

The two things that exist in the world are good and evil . But we must learn to let the good should prevail over the evil. Whene devil sees us doing good we will try as much as he can to tempt us.
The devil will always try to use someone or something to prevent us when we sees we are trying to obey God and do his will.

MATTHEW 13:3-7
The parable of the sower

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

The meaning of this parable is found in LUKE 8:11-15

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

1 PETER 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Satan is always on the road If we are by way side he the devil can easily access you.

There are four types of hearts according to Matthew 13:3-7 Among the four types of heart three are evil while the one is good. But there is hope.

Bro Eli asked us to used to scripture to examine and access ourselves to know what kind of hearts we have.

EZEKIEL 36:26-28
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 an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

God will make Righteous people even out of those that have evil hearts.

If science can replace a persons heart Then, there's evrty possibility that God can change our hearts. God can renovate a person.

1 TIMOTHY 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

God want all of us to changed and Therefore GOD can change us ,He can change our beings. He can transform us.
No matter what and how a person's heart is If he believes, God is powerful to change his heart. Even the most evil person on earth can be changed.

Bro Eli himself had a lot of ambitions and asperirations in life when he was much younger but his desires and asperirations changed when he encountered God's word.

I TIMOTHY 1:13-15
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

ACTS 22:4
And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

Paul was the president of sinners during his time but he was changed by the Lord when he believed and accepted God words into his heart.
God can change anyone.

Thank you and God bless.
