Text: 2 Timothy
1:7 (KJV)
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power; and love,
and of a sound mind
Friends, as a believer we must
cultivate and discipline our minds as it is the seat of wisdom and faith. This is a mind that is God-centered. Yes, you
are not swayed by every storm of life because your anchor is rooted in Him. Hence,
it is a gift from God as He takes away the reprobate and fleshly mind and gives
us the mind of Christ which is sound in all ramifications including humility
with peace. Philippians 4:7 And the peace
of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus. Sound mind is a mind that helps us to live in
confidence with clarity as to navigate life challenges. Therefore, it is the
word of God that renews our mind to a level relationship with Jesus as He takes
away the carnal mind that does not please God.
Interestingly, Jesus transfuses
His divine nature to us as we yield our hearts to Him in faith. He transforms our mind as we daily read, study
and meditate on the word of hope. Romans 12: 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. So, we can strengthen our thoughts by filling
our minds with the truth of the scriptures. Henceforth, there is no more
confusion and mental chaos as fear cannot overtake us because the mind we now
carry is flooded with love and courage that makes us to do exploit with Christ
in the world of sin in Jesus name.
PRAYER
POINT:
1. Oh Lord, remove
the mind of fear and anxiety that has kept us bound out of Gods agenda as you
give us the mind of Christ today in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Remember, as we get focused with His covenant, He
creates in us a new heart.
