Mind Renewal

Buenas Días a todos, 

Welcome to Operation PUSH,   Day 17. 

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 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." (Romans 12:1–2).

The first bit of the first line of this verse reminds me of a day back in my boarding High school. When it's lights out, we are supposed to sleep, that means no conversation between friends. On this night, some seniors have decided to just have the loudest of conversation ever. So our house prefect then, decided to come out and caution these seniors, she started her caution with, "I beseech you with the mercies of God..."
Well the rest of the conversation didn't go too well. Lol

Our mind is one of the most important components of our Christian experience. The Bible says plainly, “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).
I like to rephrase that to, “What you set your mind on, you will ultimately manifest.”
Many believers love God with all their hearts, but they are unable to manifest the abundant life that Christ gave them, because they have not understood the importance and significance of mind renewal.

What does it mean to renew our minds and why is it so important? In Paul’s epistle to the Romans, he instructs us to “be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” The word “transformed” is a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means. In other words, we are changed in our natural expression through the renewing of our mind. Once we become born-again, we become new creations in Christ, but we must appropriate this spiritual reality into every sphere of our lives. In essence, we have to “workout” what God has “worked-in.” The more we meditate on God’s Word, the more we begin to manifest this new life. This is why the things that we meditate on are so vitally important.

Many people have what I call “stinking thinking”; that is to say, they are always focused on negativity, defeat, and despair. I used to be that but I reckon not to be among those who possess a defeated mind-set any longer!
Too many believers are losing the battle in their minds. For example, don’t say to yourself, “I am just a sinner!” because the reality is that you are the righteousness of God in Christ! The more we think on the Word, the more the Word will transform our lives.

Let us pray...

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for Your everlasting goodness toward me. Your Word declares, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). I declare that I am a new creation in Christ; old things have passed away, and I have become brand new. I am no longer controlled or manipulated by my past sins, failures, and iniquities, but I have been made clean by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. By faith I possess the mind of Christ! I submit my thought life to the Word of God and declare that I think and reason like Jesus. I command any and all mind-binding spirits to leave me now in Jesus’ name. My heart is receptive to Your truth, and Your Word renews my mind. The more I think on godly things, the more I am changed into the image and character of Jesus Christ. I declare that the life of almighty God is made manifest in and through me daily. I declare that the peace of God that passes all understanding rules my heart and mind in the name of Jesus.

Amen!

''Give me a man, with whom I will serve You...'' A legendary love story

Bonjour,  I am tearing up listening to Mama Gloria Bamiloye saying something about her husband, Evangelist Mike Bamiloye. They inspired me to write this. Most of my posts so far has been on praying about your marriage and making God the centre of it.  To the singles out there, have you ever thought of communicating with God about your future partner?  Do you have expectations(specs) of whom you would like to share the rest of your life with?  Go to God in prayer and ask Him to give you what you want. The best part of God anwering your prayer is Him giving you what is actually Best for you. He knows what you need but He needs you to ask for it.  Now to today's topic; Marriage can actually take you to hell; either here on earth or after you are dead! That is why I have my slogan of, ''it is not here that matters, but in the end, before my creator" . This phrase (title for today), from Mama Gloria, shook me. It made me think back to what I had prayed ...
