SCRIPTURE: 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.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Renew your mind continually with the Word of God because it is what you hear that feeds your faith.
We have seen the power of the mind and how it affects life and destiny.
Now, what do you do to maximize the full potentials of your mind? What do you do with your mind to triumph in hard times?
- Avoid sin.
Iniquity corrupts mentality. Iniquity destroys destiny. We are called to glory and virtue. Sin makes us fall short of glory.
Romans 6:23 says:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, avoid sin.
- Avoid both wrong associations and wrong communications.
Proverbs 13:20 says:
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Both the wrong association and the wrong communication affect the mind and consequently, they affect life. For example, ten spies destroyed the destiny of millions of Israelites on their way to the Promised Land, by what they said (Numbers 13:31-33).
If anyone is not talking your talk, give them space. If anyone is not talking revelation, give them space. If anyone around you is not talking faith, give them space.
Are they your friends? No!
Are they your enemies? No!
Who are they? You know them.
- Renew your mind continually with the Word.
Romans 12:1-2 says:
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.
Renew your mind continually with the Word of God because it is what you hear that feeds your faith. Remember, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
Beloved, what you hear also affects what you fear (Deuteronomy 13:11). So, instead of hearing things that make you afraid, hear the Word of God that makes you have faith.
REMEMBER THIS: Renew your mind continually with the Word of God because it is what you hear that feeds your faith.
