THE MIND OF CHRIST, OUR MIND

KEY SCRIPTURE:1Co 2:16 KJV” For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

Our key scripture asks, who has the mind of Christ? He answers his question by saying we have the mind of Christ. We have considered a number of thoughts concerning the mind of Christ. Jesus is filled with thoughts of pleasing the father. This is exactly what should occupy our minds. We must be consumed with thoughts of honouring and pleasing the Father. This should culminate in actions that would bring satisfaction to the heart of the master.

The son said I always do that which please the fathers. Our minds ought to be filled with ways that we could be of useful service unto Him. We could serve Him by winning souls unto Him as He has commissioned in the great commission. We could also serve Him by serving in the body of Christ in various capacities. Example is serving in the choir, serving in protocol teams, serving in the intercessors group, or individually cleaning up the church.

We bear the mind of our master by maintaining a Christ consciousness. A Christ consciousness is to acknowledge that it is no longer us that live, but Christ who lives in us. Gal 2:20a”. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” In this mental state we see ourselves as Jesus Himself who has taken over our bodies. We talk as He would talk. We love as He loved. We forgive as He would forgive. We heal the sick as He would heal. We maintain that sense of Him living through us and doing things through us.

With this way of thinking sin is not a factor. Fear of various forms is non existent. We see Satan as fully defeated who cannot stop us from doing whatsoever the Lord asks us to do for Him. He is at home in us and we face all challenges with the mind of a master. We do not consider failure as an option. It is Christ in us, not us and so, we can’t be victims, but will always be victors.

CONFESSION

Christ in me, the hope of glory, an end to shame, failure, disease, hatred, anger, but now I am filled with peace, power, and prosperity. I am the light of my world.

THOUGHT:  MAINTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST AND WALK IN THE VICTORIES OF CHRIST.
