THE MIND OF CHRIST

Text:Philippians 2:5 

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:_ 

There is a kind of mind and Spirit which Christ  possesses that distinguishes Him  from every other man on the face of the earth. We were encouraged to allow same kind of mind in us.

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:6-8.

From the above, we can see the mind of Christ as:

 *1. Mind that does not cling to one's rights and privileges* .  Christ had completely the same nature as God. He was as important as God. But Christ did not demand that he should continue to be important like that. Philippians 2:6 (Easyenglish)

For you to have the mind of Christ, you must become a person who never claims rights. You must not be legalistic. You must learn to let go of your rights. If you continually hold onto your rights,you will not be able to enter into your next level of GLORY. 

Jesus lost his rights, He came to the earth, accepting lowest position. As a result, God raised Him far above all powers, principalities, dominion and might. He received a name above every name in heaven, on earth and beneath the earth. Philippians 2:9-10

 *2.Mind that made himself of no reputation.* Christ's mind is such that made himself of no reputation.

Today, people seek to make reputation for themselves, but in Jesus's case, it was  contrary.

 *Wait on God and let him make you a lasting REPUTATION, don't make one for yourself.* 

Bible reading: Philippians  2:1-11

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
