LET THE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST BE IN YOU

Spread the love

Bible Texts: Philp.2:5, Jn.14:26, Mk.9:29, Gal.4:19, Rev.12:11, Lk.6:45, Pro.4:23, Lk.18:1, Matt.26:41-42, 2Cor.5:17, Jn.3:4-8, 1Cor.15:33

Apostle Paul speaking made this profound statement. He said, “let this mind be in you even the mind of Christ (Philp.2:5)”. Why the mind and how powerful is the mind?

As the husbandman, your mind is the seat of your decisions whether good or evil. Your mind is the gateway to your life because whatever you allow into your mind will influence your action, either positively or negatively. Those actions you took against your wife and children did not start by chance. They are influenced by what is in your mind.

Now consider these instructions from the Word of God for your mind. Guard your heart (mind) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life (Pro.4:23). And Jesus Christ, who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman says, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Lk.6:45).

The will of God for you as the husbandman is to be good and godly to Him, your wife, children, and in the market place of life. God wants you to represent Him truthfully. God wants your wife, children and the world to see Him through your words, action, conduct and responses to issues of life. And God commands you to have the mind of Christ because that is the only way you can transform your life to become a functional and profitable husbandman to yourself and to your wife and children.

But how do I have the mind of Christ?

The first step for you is to be born again by repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour, and continue to grow the relationship with Jesus (Jn.3:4-8, 2Cor.5:17). Secondly, you must guard the company you allow into your mind by controlling what you watch, read, and who you listen to. You must be intentional about the kind of relationships and environment you want to have. The Scripture says, bad company corrupt good manners (1Cor.15:33). Thirdly, you must watch and pray as a lifestyle so that you will not fall into temptation (Mk.14:38). As you pray and watch, the Person of the Holy Spirit helps you to make the right choices of what to read, watch and who to listen to and be friends with. The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, he will teach all things and guide you into all truth (Jn.14:26).

As the husbandman, you cannot and will not grow to become good and godly if you do not take steps in that direction. And the journey to becoming all that God wants you to be as the good and godly man, husband and father starts with the state of your mind. Therefore, let the mind of Christ be in you and your life will reflect His personality and you will be a blessing to your wife, children and the market place of life.

    Good word for the battleground of the man. The outputs is a product of the inputs. The enemy is hard at work attacking the minds of couples. I see it in my own marriage of almost 40 yrs.
    Thank you
