SCRIPTURE: For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:16.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To live victoriously on earth, you must not only leave Egypt; you must also allow your “Egypt” to leave you.

It has been confirmed that the state of your mind affects the physical state of your life. Battles are lost or won in the mind. You cannot lose in life with a winning mentality.

In Scriptures, there are examples of people who lost the battles of their lives because of the state of their minds. The story of the children of Israel in the wilderness is one example.

The children of Israel were in bondage in the land Egypt for four hundred and thirty years. They stayed in Egypt for a very long time until Egypt entered into them. They stayed in Egypt until the bondage and affliction of Egypt was reconfigured in their minds. And when they left Egypt physically, Egypt could not leave them.

I will explain this with an illustration. If you fill an empty bottle with river water and put the filled bottle in a river, you will realize that the bottle is in the river and the river is also in the bottle. This is a pictorial illustration of what happened to the children of Israel in Egypt. They were not only in Egypt; Egypt was also in them.

So, Moses’ greatest challenge was not bringing them out of Egypt, but bringing “Egypt” out of them.

This is a major challenge of many believers. Many have repented and left their “Egypt” but their “Egypt” is still in them. They have repented from the things of the world, but the system of the world is still in them. They have renounced sin and the unfruitful works of darkness, but they have not renewed their minds to remove sin from their lives. As a result, even though, they have repented, they keep falling into sin.

You see, the renewal of the mind is critical to the transformation of life. To live victoriously on earth, you must not only leave Egypt; you must also allow your “Egypt” to leave you.

REMEMBER THIS: To live victoriously on earth, you must not only leave Egypt; you must also allow your “Egypt” to leave you.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Refuse to be entangled with the sinful activities of the world.

AMAZING FACT: Bees communicate by dancing. They have two different dance moves that allow them to show other bees where flowers are located. One bee will dance while the others watch to learn which direction they can find the flower patch in.

PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): May the Spirit of the LORD circumcise your heart to make you live completely and wholly for God in Jesus’ Name.
