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).
Our
theme verse reveals the required supernatural exercise that causes you to
develop in the God-life, and grow from glory to glory; it’s by the renewing of
your mind through the Word. When your mind is renewed with the Word of God
you’ll walk in the perfect will of God; the reason you must be renewed in the
spirit of your mind (Ephesians 4:23).
Your
mind is the agency through which your spirit is trained and developed to be a
sure-guide. If it’s blocked, the Word of God can neither access nor get into
your spirit. If the Word doesn’t get into your spirit, you can’t have faith,
for faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. Therefore,
every time you study or hear God’s Word, you consciously have to position your
mind rightly for the Word to be effective in you. You have to synchronize your
thoughts with the Word.
The
more time you spend meditating on the Word, the more your mind will yield to
the Word and be imparted by it’s power, resulting in a transformation in your
life. Hebrews 3:8 warned us not to harden our hearts against the Word as the
Israelites did during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Many of
them couldn’t enter the Promised Land because they didn’t mix the Word with
faith. Many in the Church are suffering today for the same reason; the Word of
God isn’t producing results in their lives because it’s not mixed with faith
(Hebrews 4:2).
Your
prosperity and greatness is dependent on the state of your mind. Therefore,
position your mind rightly by renewing it with the Word, so you can think God’s
thoughts.
Prayer
Thank you Father, for my mind is attentive to your Word at all times. Therefore, my spirit is aglow with the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ; the light of the knowledge of your glory shines perpetually in my heart, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
