  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

MENTAL STRENGTH

MENTAL STRENGTH

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16
Devotional:- “For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ” (v. 16) NKJV

    Our mind is the processor for our strength. Our mind is the place where the strength of life is directed before it manifests physically. That is why it is the state of the mind of a man that determines the strength of his life. No matter how strong spiritually a man could be, if the mind is not cooperating, the man will still be weak. It is the mind that is the battle ground of life. That is why you must avoid sin to avoid condemnation. The act of condemnation will always break down the strength of the mind. If anyone is walking after the flesh or worldly way the devil will always push such to condemnation (Romans 8:1). 

By your mind I am referring to your soul. Your soul is having three compartments: the intellect, the will and the emotion. The intellect think, the will decide and the emotion drives your actions. For a soul to be strong, you must mind what you are thinking, this will determine your decision and action (Proverbs 4:23). A strong mind will do everything to retain positive and possible thought always. This is not always easy except by the help of the Hoy Spirit.

To keep a strong mind, then labor to store the word of God in your mind (Colossians 3:16). The word of God is always positive. When it constitutes your thinking, it will strengthen your mind for right action and for right result. The word of God will give you value in life. That is why it will produce in you good success (Joshua 1:8). Peace.

 PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to build a strong mind.

“YOUR MIND IS THE SIT OF YOUR STRENGTH OR WEAKNESSES”
