Title: A Renewed Mind

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

(Romans 12:2 NKJV)

Every human being is made up of three parts: Spirit, Soul and Body (1 Thess 5:23). It is therefore believed that man is a Spirit, he has a Soul and lives in a Body. The Soul is made up of the Mind, Will and Emotions. The word of God tells us that after we give our lives to Christ, the Mind must be renewed. What does it mean to have a renewed mind. A renewed mind is a mind that forsakes its own Thoughts and methodology (way of doing things) and submits to the ways of Christ.

Maybe before you came to Christ, you were making money through Fraud, Corruption, Prostitution, and other illegitimate means. However, when we come to Christ, we must forsake those fraudulent ways and follow legitimate ways which the word of God approves. We should know that the ways and Thoughts of the Lord are not like that of humans and His Thoughts surpass every human understanding (Is 55:7-8).

One may ask, why is it even necessary to have a renewed mind? This is because God has great, mighty, wonderful, and glorious plans for all His Children. However, we can only experience these plans when we have a renewed mind (Rom 12:2). You may be a Christian but if don’t have a renewed mind, you cannot experience these glorious plans the word of God is talking about. If you look at the story of the Prodigal son, the younger Son who forsook the ways of His father to follow his own ways lost everything while the elder Son who followed His father’s ways gained everything (Luke 15).

Beloved in the Lord, the reason why the Lord wants you to have a renewed mind is not for you to live a boring life. Sometimes the Lord wants to make choices for us, but we reject them and follow our own ways. The choices of God for us may not always be the most pleasant, easiest, and quickest in the sight of man. However, we have to trust Him and accept His choices knowing that He knows the end from the beginning, and He will definitely lead us to a perfect end.

Sadly, most Christians usually reject the ways of God and rather follow the quickest and easiest ways in the sight of man and suffer loss as a result. Some people even blame God for their loss. This is because there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death (Prov 14:12). Sometimes the life of sin may lead us into serious diseases and consequences. That’s why the Lord wants us to have a renewed Mind.

Beloved in the Lord, God wants us to have a renewed Mind so we can discover and experience the good, acceptable, and perfect Will of God. He wants to lead us into a glorious plan which He prepared even before the foundation of this world.

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His Word today. Let’s ask God to help every Believer around the world to have a renewed mind. Let’s ask Him to help us to obey His word and follow His ways irrespective how they look in the sight of men.

 God bless you all.
