TOPIC:- Use Your Mind
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).
The focus of Romans chapter 12 is
the subject of thoughts— the use
of your mind. Your mind is an
instrument given to you by God to
improve your life from glory to
glory. You have to see first in your
mind the things you desire for
your life, and create them.
Thoughts are pictures of the mind
that have power and create
realities.
The quickest way to affect your
thoughts is through mental
pictures. Every man is the
character of his thoughts. Your
mind can make you poor or make
you rich; it can put you in the
place of glory or in a place of
dishonour. The Bible tells us
about Lazarus, a righteous man
who was a beggar (Luke 16:20-21).
When he died, he was carried by
the angels to Abraham's bosom,
but he lived and died a beggar,
not because that was his destiny,
but because that was his mind-
set.
Romans 12:3 says God has given
to everyone the measure of faith;
so it’s about what you do with
your faith. If Lazarus had
projected himself in faith,
envisioning his rich heritage as
the seed of Abraham, he wouldn't
have remained poor.
Use your mind to focus, and
project yourself to your next
greater level. However, don't
disdain or berate others who're
yet to attain your level of
reasoning. Don’t compare yourself
with them; rather, understand
that each of us is at a different
level of faith, and gifted
differently.
How do you think? Jesus often
challenged the Jews to think
right. Use your mind correctly, to
picture your glorious and
victorious life in Christ.

CONFESSION:
My mind is anointed to think
right, being the mind of Christ. I
think excellent thoughts, and I
only see pictures of excellence,
success, victory, and abundance. I
focus my mind on things that are
true, honest, just, pure,lovely, of
good report,virtuousand praise
worthy. Halleluiah!
