āFor as he thinks within himself, so is he.
āāProverbs⬠ā23ā¬:ā7⬠āTPTā¬ā¬
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. Thereās no guava seed that produces apples unless itās either a miracle or demonic . A mango seed produces mangoes. Thereās no way my parents could produce a white daughter because theyāre both black! Iām 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 devilās playground.
Your mind must be renewed by the Word of God. Thereās no transformation for a person who rejects the Word. The difference between you and the next ādeepā person is the mind. You cannot become like someone whose mindset you donāt have and thatās why many canāt handle the mantles they pray for. You canāt become like Christ if you donāt have the mind of Christ. You canāt become like your spiritual father if you donāt think like he does because you only become what you think. Youāre a product of your thoughts.Ā
The mind of Christ is the Word of God. I donāt 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? Itās not in cramming scripture, itās in living scripture. It is foolish to think youāll pass History if you donāt read History books, because the equipping of your mind depends on what it is fed.
Do you know whatās 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 ! Letās 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, āMy mind is yielded to Christ!ā . Youāre loved by God and myself! ā¤ļø
