AFD OCTOBER 2025

WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER 2025: MONTH ENTITLED – “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“. . . [2] And do not be CONFORMED to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be TRANSFORMED and PROGRESSIVELY CHANGED [as you mature spiritually] by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may PROVE [for yourselves] what the WILL of God is, that which is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT [in His plan and purpose for you]” Romans 12:1-2/Amplified. 

I specifically and specially welcome you to Month OCTOBER. This is a month that’s entitled and otherwise themed: “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!  

The month October thus indicates BLESSEDNESS – which speaks of the Blessedness of God by faith, which thus means you ARE being EMPOWERED to succeed, achieve, become and thrive in all that God has done in you in Christ Jesus. It’s your month to authenticate [enact] to ensure while being assured, of God’s enabling in the Month OCTOBER – that by “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead, that blessedness will become your reality. 

This month October thus means, it’s your month to be EFFECTUAL [productive and result oriented], in your redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For it’s as you are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace in Christ Jesus, that your essence in the Kingdom plan, purpose and pursuit of God will then become tangible, reachable, liveable, lovable and of course, your reality. 

And by the knowledge and understanding of the entitled month context, it’s my earnest PRAYERS that you resolve to take a step of faith in the grace to ENACT the Month October theme – “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND”, for this is in order to live meaningfully and fulfilling in the commission mandate that’s about you and to us all – of being Earthly useful and Heavenly minded, in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen. 

Let me just refresh your mind in knowing something’s about Month OCTOBER; month October, is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars – and it’s the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days. In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of AUTUMN and is commonly associated with the season of SPRING in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and AUTUMN in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. 

The Month October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. And the name October, comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of NEW BEGINNING signifying BLESSEDNESS which encompasses – WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY and more of such like. And month October is normally the time of the year when farmers harvest their crops – indicating productivity and abundance. That to me it’s important, such that, as we are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND”, we can then ensure the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead in our redemption. 

Therefore, as we take on a daily step of Faith through this month in an onward and upward trajectory, I want you to know that as you are “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead, you will see yourself thrive, not just survive, in His grace.  

And through the Month, as you follow along the teaching to explore on the theme by God’s enabling grace, you will come to know what and why the theme is so relevant for you in the now and all about God’s FULNESS in the theme; and in the cause of the expository teaching and preaching on the theme as entitled – “BEING TRANSFORMED [TRANSFIGURED] BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” – may you find the enabling of God’s grace in our redemption, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

I PRAY you have an awesome blessedness in Christ Jesus stead, through the Month October. Amen. 

Blessed regards. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [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” Romans 12:1-2. 

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the same image from GLORY TO GLORY, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:18. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT, BEHAVIOUR] the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] and BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND; [24] and that ye PUT ON the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

“And have PUT ON the NEW MAN, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that CREATED him: [11] where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all” Colossians 3:10-11. 

“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER SELF is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER SELF is being [progressively] RENEWED DAY BY DAY. [17] For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! [18] So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18/Amplified. 

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of REGENERATION, and RENEWING of the Holy Ghost” Titus 3:4-5. 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. [18] Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. [21] For He MADE Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.
