*THE POWER OF THE RENEWED MIND*
_Key Bible Text:_
*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 12:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The tragedy of modern Christianity is that people are born again but are not transformed; convicted but not converted; church members but not disciples.
What does _renew_ mean? To renew means to bring new life into something; renew means to start over again. To renew means to bring up to date. To renew your mind, means to overhaul, recondition, regenerate, rejuvenate, remodel, restore your mind.
This mind renewal is the missing factor and the reason many so called believers are still lacking behind in being like Christ.
There are many evidences of unrenewed minds today in the body of Christ. This is exemplified in many ways today. Including but not limited to accounts such as so called christian brothers will defrauding one another; so called christian marriages being reported as having over 80% of them contributing to divorce cases in Nigeria; and many other unpleasant accounts.
Ephesians 4:20-21 (KJV), states *"But ye HAVE NOT SO LEARNED CHRIST;If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:"* Learning Christ means to unlearn the old man or nature and put on the new man through mind renewal.
_MEDITATION:_
*"That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;"* (Ephesians 4:22-23 (KJV))

*KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED* (The End)
_Key Bible Text:_
*And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.* (1 John 4:16-17 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The fear of God ultimately leads to the love of God.
The love of God comes on the heels of the fear of God because that respect and devotion to His word is what God regards as love. A man's perspective of love is respect. For God, his perspective of love is obedience to His word. To love God, is to obey His commands. This is the love that 1John 4:16 speaks of. -- He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God!
It is important to understand 1 John 4 verse 17 flowing from verse 16. Verse 17 speaks of a destination, a place we must all aspire to get to. It speaks to the ultimate goal of loving God-- to have boldness in the face of judgment because we have come to the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ. See, loving God, obeying His word fills us with boldness. That's why the righteous are as bold as lion. Amen.
You can't be saying you are like Jesus in this world, while you are grossly underperforming or disobeying the word of God. This is why we have boldness-- because we are obedient to His Word. And we are obedient because we are in love with Jesus. And we love Jesus, because Jesus loved us first.
What does the Bible teach about loving God? (See John 14:15. Loving God is not merely making faith declarations or singing "I love you Lord" or "Jesus, lover of my soul". Loving God is in obedience to His Word)
This then brings us to verse 18 flowing directly from verse 17. The one who has actually matured in loving God, which means to be as Jesus is, to walk in obedience to His word, has nothing to fear. Please ponder these words. Jesus said the prince of this world is coming and He has nothing against Him. That's fearlessness as a result of perfect obedience. Perfect love here stands for perfect obedience. Hence, verse 20 & 21 explains that if we can't show love to men, we are jokers to think that we love God. #Selah
_MEDITATION:_
*Before you scream perfect love casts out fear, do you live in obedience to His Word? Where is your love without your life of obedience? The one who knows he is still struggling with obedience must reverently ask God for help. Even when we rest on the finished works of Christ, we must understand that we have nothing to boast except for God's mercy*

*STARTING UP*
_Key Bible Text:_
*For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.* (1 John 5:4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The most difficult stage of any new life, career, business, invention and growth generally, is starting up.
When you enter an airplane, before it takes off, you'll be asked to fasten your seatbelt because of an altitude the airplane will attain. But after that turbulent period, everything will come back to normal. And this is what happens when you set off to achieve great heights, you'll need hold on through some hurdles, rejections, disappointments, failures etc till after sometime when things will start to work out well. That's life!
Unfortunately, in reality, most people are not willing to hold on: they seek for instant results. Some don't have the courage to pull through the start up stage and they just settle for less. Some start and stop, some blame the government, family and friends for not giving them enough support. Most are afraid of failing even before getting started.
Overcoming the difficulties associated with the start up stage requires us to have faith, hardwork, confidence and patience. You have to believe in your ideas, goals, plans, career etc. Know that your ideas can change the world.
You have to have the faith that things will work out well. If not instantly but soon. You have to also assure yourself everyday of the possibility of what you've hoped for.
*MEDITATION*
*But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.* (Hebrews 11:6 (KJV))

*A GAMBLER OR AN INVESTOR*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.* (Galatians 6:7 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
We fail to do a lot of things but we still expect things to work out well, claiming that God will just have mercy on or favour us, that's a gambling spirit.
When we ought to pray or read our bible daily, but let other things take that time, and still assume that all will be well, with our spiritual growth, that's a gambling spirit.
When we ought to go out and do evangelism with the rest of the church, or even alone, but we allow other activities to take that place, and we just assume that God will understand, that's a gambling spirit.
When we ought to save for the rainy day, or read well and prepare hard to pass an exam or test, but we do otherwise, and hope that somehow God will take control, that's a gambling spirit at work.
The will of God for you as a son, is that you are wise enough to do all things decently and in order, putting priority in the right things, and taking no responsibility for granted.
Are you a gambler or an investor? An investor does what he or she needs to do because of a certain outcome they are expecting. You can't plant laziness and reap prosperity.
MEDITATION:
*For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.* (Galatians 6:8 (KJV))

*FIGHT*
_Key Bible Text:_
*For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do.*
(Galatians 5:17 (AMP))
_Bible Insight:_
The toughest battles I have ever fought were battles between what I knew and what I felt.
I see divine truth as stated in God's word, but sometimes my feelings say something else.
I see God's word says that if I believe in Jesus who died for my sin and was raised for my justification, then I have salvation by faith, without works. But I don't always feel saved. I have to learn to ignore my feelings and focus on Jesus.
I see God's high standard of walking in holiness and consecration, yet I find that sometimes I have to fight my feeling so it can conform to God's standard.
I see God's word tells me of my permanent victory in Christ, of my greatness in Him, but I have to force my feelings to agree in the face of staggering oppositions.
I see God's word tells me the gifts of the Spirit are mine, that the sick will be healed through my hands, but I have to bring my mind into subjection to it and insist until it complies to the truth of God's word.
I think this is a fight I must keep fighting and keep winning as I walk on in my Christian faith.
When the feeling of sickness attacks me, the feeling of sorrow, the feeling of pain, the sense of loss or lack, and all the challenges of this life, I have to insist on God's word, inspite of how I feel.
God's word alone is truth. Anything contrary is a lie.
I have come to realize that my circumstances and feelings will not always automatically agree with or reflect what God's word says, so I fight to ensure it aligns to God's word.
I believe this is an honourable fight for the sons of God on earth. I think we will keep engaging in this fight until we put off this body of flesh. I believe this will be the basis of our eternal reward on that day.
So dear believer, fight!
*MEDITATION*
*Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.* 1 Timothy 6:12
