BE RENEWED IN YOUR SPIRIT

Bible Texts: Eph.4:22-29, Matt.12:34, Rom.5:5, Jn.14:26, Philp.4:8, Philp.2:5, Rom.12:2, Ps.1:1, Acts 2:1-4, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:23, Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13

Yesterday, we began to look at the instructions of God to the husbandman. We understood from Scriptures that the husbandman is a servant, commanded by God to serve his wife and children. We learnt that when the husbandman serves the best interest of his wife and children, he is doing the perfect will of God as the man, husband and father.

However, until the mind of the husbandman is renewed by the word of God, he will not be able to serve in truth and in spirit.

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind (Eph.4:23)

The word of God says “be renewed in the spirit of your mind”. This implies that you must continually feed your mind with the word of God so that it can grow in the knowledge of the truth of God. This is because what you feed grows, and what you starve dies. You must renew the spirit of your mind by the word of God because your mind is the seat of your decision, will, emotions and thought. Until you accept into the spirit of your mind the instructions of God that you are a servant, you cannot manifest the virtues of service (Matt.12:34, Rom.12:2).

How do I then renew the spirit of my mind in order for me to be the good and godly servant?

You must feed your spirit man, which is your mind, with the truth from the word of God because the word of God is spirit (Ezk.2:2). The more your spirit man is empowered by the word of God, the more you receive the enablement to obey all of God’s instructions for your life as the man, husband and father.

You must always engage with the Person of the Holy Ghost to empower the word of God in your mind so that the word you have received is firmly rooted in your spirit man (Mk.9:29, Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13). Praying the word of God into your life connects you to the power that makes all things possible (Jn.14:26, Matt.11:2).

Your service as the good and godly man, husband and father to your wife and children will bring you peace, joy and progress.

Again, you are not less serving but more serving.
