BE LIKE-MINDED WITH CHRIST

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: BE LIKE-MINDED WITH CHRIST August Friday 28th

TEXT: Colossians 1:9-10

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


My prayer for you is that you will be able to judge what is right and easily perceive the glory of God around and you. That you will have spiritual understanding and that you will understand things in the way of God. You will see things as God sees them, whether good or evil things. Job told his wife, “Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all these, Job did not sin because he had spiritual understanding. He understood in the evil things happening to him that, “He knoweth the way that I take, after he has tried me he shall bring me forth as gold.” 


This is great spiritual understanding. In this way, he was not offended against God. He was not also offended against man. Even when his wife told him, “curse God and die” he didn’t mix things up because he understood the wife in a spiritual way saying, “Oh, some foolish women who don’t have the wisdom of God speak like this.” Don’t we have bitter things on earth, don’t we eat bitter leaf? Does it kill us? With this spiritual understanding Job was excellent in his life. That was why God boasted about him. 


When king David was fleeing Jerusalem after his son Absalom conspired against him, Shimei of the household of Saul accosted him on the way, cursing and casting stones at him. David’s bodyguard Abishai, wanted to cut off his head but David restrained him. David said, “It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.” It takes a man with the mind of God to exercise such restraint under great provocation and anticipate that it will turn out for his own good in the future. 


You too need to come to this level so that you will begin to see things in a spiritual way. If you see it so, then you will actually agree that God doesn’t make mistake. You will read the handwriting of God and praise him. Even when people curse or abuse you, you will be seeing good in it. That is a spiritual man with the mind of Christ. 


Thought for the day: To the spiritual man, every situation is under control.

Song for the day: He is able, abundantly able, to deliver……

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 136-138; 1 Corinthians 9

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
