Key Text: Philippians 2:5 KJV - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
At salvation, every believer is given the mind of Christ which should make him think and walk like Christ. However, the mind must be constantly renewed for the believer to exercise the mind of Christ. The believer must not be conformed to worldly standards. He must seek to always know the acceptable and perfect will of God through the transforming power of God's word and regular fervent prayers.
The mind of Christ reflects love, selflessness and humility. As believers we must always examine our lives to ensure that we exhibit these Christian virtues in our lives. To be like Christ, we must love God above all, and love our neighbours as ourselves; we must deny ourselves, preferring one another in honour; and humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord.
Beloved, the mind of Christ goes after the lost whom He came to seek and to save. If we lack compassion for sinners, it is a strong indication that we need to be transformed through repentance, mind renewal and prayer. My dear friend, if you have not known the Lord, your mind is blind, carnal, corrupt and reprobate: call upon the name of the Lord today, confessing and forsaking your sins for the salvation of your soul.
Prayer: O Lord, let my affection be on heavenly things and not on things of this world, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Reflection: For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ - 1 Corinthians 2:16.
