Activate Sound Mind

Text:  2 Timothy 1:7(KJV)

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Friends, we need to start dealing with our minds as to clear off negative thought as it requires both spiritual and practical measures. Although our environment is filled with several ills, we should allow our minds to be governed by God’s word. So, we must consciously discipline our minds to align and be guarded with His thought. 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.  It requires self-control that makes for clear way of thinking. Yes, in the world of mind pressure, we have been give the gift of sound mind. It is a treasure we must activate as to keep focus and anchor on the truth. 1 Cori.2:16 But we have the mind of Christ. So, the mind of Christ is a sound mind as our role model that helps us to live fearless with the truth as we reject lies and evil suggestions.

Unfortunately, many are busy with environmental news which lives us with fear. But the scriptures in our text today declares that God has not given the spirit of fear rather three basic nuggets for living - power, love and sound mind. So, we must guide our minds from emotional instability as it has left many with a life of uncertainty and tension. We have the prescriptions in Phil.4:8 Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.  Therefore, let’s be guided through the Holy Ghost as we have access to mental strength to think right, where we choose faith over fear, clarity against confusion and peace instead of panic. Hence, the source of sound mind is the word of God which is accessible to us today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Heavenly father, help me to reshape our toxic thought, refuse fear and worry as we embrace a renewed mind for a transformed life of peace in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember a sound mind is wise and takes godly decisions.
