TOPIC: NEW CREATION TOOL: Our Thought (1)

One Year Bible Reading: 
Psalms 19 - 20, Acts 26:19 - 32.

MEMORY VERSE:
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

BIBLE READING:
Ephesians 4:23
23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. (NLT)

Thinking Point:
The first difference between being a believer and an unbeliever is our thought.

As believers, what makes the difference is what goes on in our heart spontaneously and consistency. How we act on what we think goes a long way to prove if we are believers or living as unbelievers. Apostle Paul was so interested in our thoughts to the extent of appealing to us in Romans 12: 2 say,
"2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Let's get this straight, he wasn't speaking to the unbelievers but believers, who have accepted Christ as their Lord and saviour, so we can't say it does not matter because, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: .. Proverbs 23:7. Your thoughts govern your actions which judge your ways before the Lord. What will allow in our heart is a pointer to who we will become. What do you think concerning others, is it godly? Apostle Paul said, "let the spirit renew your thoughts and attitude". To live as a new creation our thought must align with that of the spirit. Our thought must be what glorifies God daily. The thoughts will come but how do we respond to it? Do we reject it or give it a thought?

It was the thought in the heart of the devil that sent him out of the presence of God. 
"12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:" Isaiah 14:12-13.

Until our thoughts align with that of the spirit we are not believers yet. We need to fight our thoughts daily. Selfish thought, self-centred thought, wishing others evil or bad luck, thinking of cheating others and many more need to be dealt with within us. We must avoid it in order to prove that we are genuine believers. Let the spirit of God guides our thought and we will live as believers.

Good morning, and God bless you.

" Why Are You Afraid?" Bible Passage: Mark 4:36-40. "36. they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed)." "37. But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water." "38. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” "39. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm." "40. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Opposition After Victory  When Jesus was resting in the boat comfortably after His crusade with different signs and wonders.

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PEOPLE?  Who are My people? My people start with my immediate Family, my extended family, my relatives, the folds of believers, my tribe, friends, colleagues and then my Nation. How far can you go to protect your people; Your family, relatives, home and your nation? How committed are you to your people? Hope you are not selfish about your people for greed of money, position, title and wealth? Using Esther As Our Case Study For This Article "6. For how can I endure to see MY PEOPLE AND MY FAMILY slaughtered and destroyed?” Who was Esther? She was a slave and an orphan brought up by Mordecai in Babylon. She was pretty, well trained and loyal to her uncle. Her humble and trained life helped her take over the throne of Vashti. Pride caused the dethroning of the Queen before Esther. Queen Esther was living in immunity as a Queen but used her position to help her people by saving them from nationwide destruction. Esther was a woman who made history til...
