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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
