All of God's best be yours

One reason the Apostle Paul admonished us to renew our minds is to bring them to begin to think at the frequency of God's word. Not until that happens and continues to happen, we will not be able to walk in all of God's best for our lives.

The word of God contains all the promises of God for our lives, it contains all of God's best for us. And if we do not know what the word says, we cannot think of it or in it. Our mind is one of God's greatest gifts to us. How we use it will either be a  gift to us or otherwise. It is with the mind that we serve God (see Rom:7:25) so we must learn to use our mind in such a way that it serves God's purpose for our lives. Some people have used their minds and think themselves into depression. They focus only on the negatives. Little wonder they are the way they are. 

"I'm writing this to you, Timothy, my son in the faith. All the best from our God and Christ be yours!" (1Tim.1.2) 

The Apostle Paul says all the best from God and Christ are ours to enjoy. But if we do not keep these best in our minds in constant reminders, and consistently think about them we may not be able to walk in them. We must always think of God's best for our lives. Like the Prodigal son, he could have continued to wallow in self-pity but he used his mind and reasoned himself back into the center of God's will for himself. He kept it positive. Use your mind to your advantage. Keep God's word in your mind and use it to activate all of God's best for your life. 

Good day, 
Have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
