RENEWING YOUR MIND

Text :Romans 12:2

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.

*Your mind is the battle field where you win or lose the battles of life.* Unless you are intentional, and you do something about your mind, it automatically conforms to this world.

Therefore, in order not to conform to this world, you must constantly be renewing your mind. God will not do this for you. You must take the personal responsibility for your own mind renewal. 

Take for example, to wash your hands, you need cleansing agents like soap and water. But the soap and water cannot do thorough  washing without you applying the soap to your hands, placing your hands under running water and rubbing them together for thorough washing.(Ephesians 5:26).

In the same manner, you need God's word, and the blood of Jesus for your mind renewal.Though these two cleansing agents have been freely given unto you, but you must graciously receive them, and apply on your mind and heart.
 Hebrews 10:22 says _Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water._  and Revelation  1:5 says,
 _"...Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood"_ 

You must keep applying God's word and the blood of Jesus constantly for the renewal of your mind and cleansing of your heart.

Whenever you noticed any contrary thoughts weighing down on your mind and heart, quickly address such with the word of God and Jesus' blood. 

The scripture says in 1John 1:7 that the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sins. Jesus's blood is the most potent cleansing agent on earth. It's usage is not limited to mere "pleading of the blood of Jesus". It majorly includes your faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Jesus has shed His blood on the cross, and it has the power to do all that He did while on earth, and what He wants to do now, while sitting on the throne by the right hand side of the Father in heaven.

Bible reading:

Psalms 51:1-19.

PRAYER FOCUS

1. Father God, I believe in the  cleansing power of the word and the blood of Jesus.

2. I present my heart and mind continually under the cleaning power of the word and the blood of Jesus.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
