“Let This Mind Be In You”
Friday, November 10, 2023Key Verse
“Let this mind be in you,which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:5
Text — Philippians 2:4-8
Message
To have God’s kind of mind means to look at life the way God sees it. He created everyone and loves all – you must love like Him. The thoughts of your heart, your views and desires must be like God’s own. The world sold to sin through Adam and Eve needs a Saviour. You must preach salvation through Christ. Your heart desires must be to please God in all things – in dressing, friendship/association, worship – all must be done to glorify Him.
You should not live your life to please anyone but God. He bought you, He owns you and He wants to direct and control your life. Yield all to Him, let Him be the Captain of the ship of your life. Love like Him, live like Him, shun pride, selfishness and disobedience. Live a life of humility and value others as God values you. Having the mind of Christ makes you hate the fashions of this world while you live the Christlike life. Anyone who abides in Christ and loves what He loves will be highly favoured by God. God is calling you to a life of Christlikeness. Your prompt response will bring abundant blessings to your life.
