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.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
