âFor as he thinks within himself, so is he.
ââProverbs⏠â23âŹ:â7⏠âTPTâŹâŹ
One area of struggle for many believers is the mind. The mind is a seed to our actions and as we know, every seed produces after its kind. Thereâs no guava seed that produces apples unless itâs either a miracle or demonic . A mango seed produces mangoes. Thereâs no way my parents could produce a white daughter because theyâre both black! Iâm their product. Likewise ,your actions are the fruit of your mind. A copy and paste. If your mind is filled with thoughts of revenge you will feel angry, if your mind is filled with pornography , the fruit of that is masturbation, fornication and even demonic dreams of molestation. There should be no unintentional thought, no careless thought. Careless thinking is the reason why many have committed suicide. Thoughts on the loose are the devilâs playground.
Your mind must be renewed by the Word of God. Thereâs no transformation for a person who rejects the Word. The difference between you and the next âdeepâ person is the mind. You cannot become like someone whose mindset you donât have and thatâs why many canât handle the mantles they pray for. You canât become like Christ if you donât have the mind of Christ. You canât become like your spiritual father if you donât think like he does because you only become what you think. Youâre a product of your thoughts.Â
The mind of Christ is the Word of God. I donât understand a believer who does not have a Bible. How do you expect to be transformed, where is the map? Who and what is directing you? Itâs not in cramming scripture, itâs in living scripture. It is foolish to think youâll pass History if you donât read History books, because the equipping of your mind depends on what it is fed.
Do you know whatâs responsible for those actions of yours? The mind. Either careless thinking or unguided thinking which is thinking outside the Word of God. Yes, even thoughts of low self esteem! It is careless thinking or unguided thinking. Yes even depression ! Letâs touch on different kinds of thoughts this week. Our God whose desire is for us to be like Christ, will surely see us through to the point where we can say, âMy mind is yielded to Christ!â . Youâre loved by God and myself! â€ïž
