BUT YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ (1Cor.2:16)

As the husbandman, God wants you to have the mind of Christ, because He wants you to be the good and godly man, husband and father. You cannot be more useful to your wife and to your children than the quality and quantity of God’s word in your mind that you have put to work. But what is it about having the mind of Christ, and how does having the mind of Christ influence your life?

To have the mind of Christ begins with you having a healthy relationship with God through Jesus Christ by accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour (Jn.3:3-5). It is when you are born again that a new you is recreated and the life of Christ finds expression in your life (2Cor.5:17).

To have the mind of Christ means that your thought life, that is what you think and mediate upon, are what the Word of God commands (Jos.1:6-8, Ps.1:1-3, Ps.119:11). Jesus spoke about the Word of God as seed, so that if you allow the Word of God to gain root in your heart, it will influence how and what you think about (Lk.8:11).

How does having the mind of Christ influence your life to become like the good and godly husbandman, Jesus Christ?

Jesus says that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Lk.6:45). Jesus also says that it is from your heart all kinds of outward actions are born (Matt.15:18-19). This is why God’s word advises you to guard your heart with all diligence because out of it are the issues of life. As the husbandman, you cannot act better than what is in your mind. You cannot be the good and godly man, husband, and father to your wife and your children if your heart is filled with bitterness, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, bad will, revenge, laziness, selfishness, and the like (Gal.5:19-21).

You can be like Jesus Christ at home, to your wife and your children. All you must do and continue to do is to engage with the Word of God by studying it, believing all it says, meditating upon all its directions, instructions, and precepts, and committing to doing all that it says (Deut.28:1-2).

Hallelujah!
