Text: Philippians 2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: The mind in Christ was the mind of servanthood and humility. Be equipped with this mind. There is no greater humility than for God's Son, the very Word of God to humble Himself to the point of becoming a man. Jesus' incarnation (God becoming man) is a great display of  humility and servanthood. "......and (He) took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" Philippians 2:7-8 From the  above, you can see that Jesus Christ took up: 1. Servanthood Position: Jesus took upon Himself the form of a servant. He was not compelled to become one, but He chose this servanthood position willingly. Jesus came to the earth to serve humanity. He came to serve and not to be served. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one an...

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 are 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...

Text : Mark  8:36   For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Every single person on  earth has been given a life time opportunity to invest his or her life. You must therefore have it at the back of your mind that, your life is an investment. The question now is:  1. How do I invest my life? 2. In what do I invest my life? Having asked yourself these critical questions, it is important to know that every investment could either result in a profit or loss. Our Lord Jesus Christ, having this investment sense asked the question: What will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and lose his own soul?  Jesus was simply asking his followers about the profit they would make if they gain the whole world.  For your your soul to be compared to the whole world, it means that it must be an inestimable and priceless _"possession "_   To lose your soul, is to gain the world; and to gain your soul is to...

Text : 1Sam 9:3. The donkeys belonging to Kish, Saul’s father, were lost, and Kish told his son Saul, “Take one of the young men with you, get up, and go look for the donkeys.” When Kish sent his son,  Saul on an errand, little did he (Saul) know that that was an errand that will crown him the very first king in Isreal. When Jesse sent his son David, on an errand to his brothers on the battle front, little  did he (David) know that that was an errand that will launch him into his destiny. 1 Sam.17:12-40. While Rebecca was helping an aged servant feed his camels, little did she know that she was preparing her marriage bed. Gen.24:12-28. While James and John were fishing with their father, little did they know that going out that day with their father will bring them into a lasting encounter with our  Lord Jesus Christ. Matt. 4:21-22. We could go on and on. Whenever God decides to take you to a next level,  a higher ground, He doesn't always announce it on the radio, t...

Text : Psal ms 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. You can only see light in His light if you are so interested in seeing yourself as you truly are. Until you see yourself as you really are in His light, you are probably in the dark still. As I was brushing my teeth one evening, my eyes fell on dark stains behind the basin, this really got me irritated to the point that my whole body started itching. I had tried to take off my mind but my eyes keep catching up on the stain. I thereafter decided to switch off  the bathroom light so as to keep my eyes in the dark in order not to continue to see the stains.  While I was still brushing, the Holy Spirit brought an understanding to my heart on how many folks intentionally avoid the light of God that is beaming on their hearts. They deliberately embrace darkness in order not to see the stains(sins) in their lives. You must know that, it is only when you accept God's light that will  you w...

Text : Proverbs  19:14   House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. Dear Brother, if you are married, we thank God for your life and we pray for wisdom to lead a fruitful life. Your marriage will not be a  barrier to fulfilling God's mandate for your life rather, it will give you a better platform to fulfilling it in Jesus name.  Also, you need to take heed to God's word coming to you today so you could give qualitative advice to your sons and the younger generations.  If you are not married, I say congratulations! This is because you still have the chance to retrace your steps and get it right maritally. Dear brother, you must know and note that the wife you married can to a very large extent determine your success here on earth as far as God's mandate is concerned, and can invariably determine where you will spend your eternity. Why should you because of a fleeting pleasure jeopardise the eternal purpose of God f...

  Text : James 1:21 So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls So many like to live in self deceit than to face the reality of God's word in order to pursue the standard it demands. Yes, the truth is that Christ has finished the work of our salvation on the Cross, He paid it all. He has redeemed us as well. We have been raised together with him and seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:6. But you still have the responsibility to cooperate with the Holy Spirit(by carrying your cross) in order to experience what happened in your spirit in your soul.  The very plan of God for every child(born again) of His, is that such one will be another Jesus on earth. God wants us to be another Jesus living in the body on earth today. Are you living like Jesus? It is good to know that your spirit has been saved, but this is the beginning of the journey into a great experienc...
