THE RENEWED MIND
THERE has never been a great deal of teaching
in regard to the necessity of a renewed mind. We have stressed the need
of being converted, being Born Again,
but we have left the convert hanging in the air, as it were. Great
enthusiasm and joy comes at the New Birth, but unless that is cared for
and fed by the mind being renewed through feeding on the Word and
practicing it, that joy will die out.
When you are Born Again your
spirit is Recreated. It receives the Nature and Life of the Father, but
the mind that has held your spirit in captivity is the same old mind.
It receives a mighty impetus when the spirit receives Eternal Life, but that is all.
You understand that all the knowledge the mind had, comes from the
senses and the senses can never be renewed. They are a part of the
physical body.
They can be brought into subjection; they can be controlled, but they can't be renewed.
The spirit is Recreated, but the mind, this brain of ours that receives
its knowledge from the five senses, can be brought into subjection to
the Word. I have come to believe that it can be purified by meditation
in the Word. I don't mean purified like the blood of Christ has cleansed
us, but I mean that it drops off much that is unnecessary and unwise.
In itself it may not be harmful but it is unnecessary. It takes up
time. The mind slowly but surely as it feeds on the Word, meditates in
the Word, practices and lives the Word, comes into the fellowship of the
Recreated spirit. In Rom. 12:1, 2 we have one of the most important
Scriptures in regard to the physical body and its thinking processes: "I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to God, which is your
spiritual service."
Notice it very carefully now. He is asking you
to present your body which holds the five senses. They are the most
important part of that body, the seeing part, the hearing part, the
feeling part, the tasting and smelling parts. They are the five channels
to the brain over which travel all the impulses that have taught the
brain all that it knows. Now He says, I want you to give this home of
your five senses to the Lord. I want you to lay that body of yours, as
it were, upon the altar.
As the Jew laid a dead offering upon the
altar, you are to lay your living body upon the altar in the sense that
you are dedicating it, giving it over to the Lordship of the Word.
Then He says in the second verse, "And be not fashioned according to
this age, but be ye transformed (or transfigured) by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect
will of God." Your mind has been fashioned after the things of this
world.
The world's ideals probably have been yours. Now your mind
must come under the dominion of your Re¬created spirit through the Word.
Your mind must recognize the three-fold Lordship through your Recreated
spirit, the Lordship of the Word, the Lordship of Jesus and the
Lordship of Love. It may be difficult for your mind to assimilate this ;
to allow Love to become a part of yourself: to allow the Word to
utterly dominate; to recognize the Love Lordship of Jesus.
I know
how hard that is, but that must come or else the believer is going to
live on the borderland between right and wrong, never knowing whether
this is wrong, or that is wrong. He will be asking his friends, "Is it
wrong to do this? Should I do that?" The reason is, his mind has never
been renewed and he is living on the borderland in a sort of
semi-spiritual darkness. But as his mind is renewed he will come to know
the will of the Father. He will walk in the light of the Word.
He
will get to know that three-fold will-the good, and the acceptable, and
the perfect will of the Father. He will be claiming the highest will of
the Father. He will not be satisfied with "the acceptable and the good,"
but will want the perfect and the well-pleasing will of the Father. In
John 8:28 Jesus said, "I always do the things that are pleasing to my
Father."
This New Creation man craves that kind of a life.
His
spirit is reaching out, sometimes really agonizing in him to become
well-pleasing to the Father. In Col. 3:5-10 He is unveiling the inner
workings of the senses and their control of the mind. Read it carefully.
He says, "For which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons
of disobedience."
He shows the uncleanness of the natural mind as it is dominated by the senses.
In the 9th verse He is speaking to you. He said, I don't want you to
lie to one another any more, since you have put off the old man with his
doings. You see, you are a New Creation and you put on the New Man,
that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created
Him.
This is a message to the new convert primarily. Old believers have already done this thing.
He wants that New Man to be brought into perfect harmony with his
thinking faculties, and that can't be until his mind is re¬newed, until
it comes to recognize its position in Christ.
You notice it said, "Put on the new man that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of film."
That will be Revelation Knowledge. You will know your responsibilities
and your ability to meet them. You see, the small faith man is almost
invariably a man whose mind has not yet been renewed. If you find a
believer that doesn't walk in love, it is because his mind has not yet
been renewed. His mind can't be renewed by simply studying the Bible. He
will have to live it. It has to become a part of His mind. Many of our
Bible teachers have never seen this and their senses govern their mind.
That means their senses govern their teaching; that their Re¬created
spirit has a very small place in their lives. 2 Cor. 4:16, "Wherefore we
faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man
is renewed day by day." The inward man is your spirit that is feeding on
the Word, that is being renewed continually. Your mind should feed on
the Word too. There should he meditation in the Word.
You
remember in Joshua 1 :8 Jehovah told him that he was to "meditate in the
word day and night, and that he might observe to do according to all
that there is written therein ; for then thou shalt make they way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
The same rule that God laid down for Joshua should govern the New Creation, this new man who has the mind of Christ.
Another Scripture that might help us a bit is Eph. 2:10, "For we are
his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore
prepared that we should walk in them." He has prepared you to walk in
His will. His ability has been given to you.
His strength is at your
disposal. The good deeds that He would have you perform are within the
range of your ability, that is, the ability that He has given to you.
He expects you to pray for sick folks.
You will teach the Word; witness to the unsaved ; walk in Love, and you
will walk in the light of the Word and be a blessing to those around
you, because your mind now is in perfect harmony with the Recreated
spirit. The New Commandment "that you love one another" has become the
very heart life of your conduct.

GOD OF VENGANCE
OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL...
DATE: SATURDAY 12TH NOVEMBER 2016
THEME: GOD OF VENGEANCE
Memorise:
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
Read: Ezekiel 25:12-17
25:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
25:14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
25:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
25:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
MESSAGE
God is against His children repaying evil to those who have done them evil. It is not in the place of any genuine child of God to seek revenge.
"Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing." 1 Peter 3:9
No one can avenge like God. This is why I don't worry myself about my enemies, I just report them to my Father and I leave the rest to Him. When God fights your enemies, even you who was hurt will begin to pity them. This is because there is no one that can stand the anger of the Almighty God. Anytime you are trying to revenge, you are already playing God and the consequence is unbearable. Society may tell you to do otherwise. Reasoning may tell you to repay evil in return for the wrong done to you, but the scripture demands that you act differently. You are an ambassador of Christ, you are a peace maker, and you must do everything to proof that. In the world, people are taught to seek revenge, but the opposite is expected from the children of God. We should hand over those who have hurt us to God. Moses handed over the rebels to God. Joseph handed over his elder brothers to God. Job forgave his accusers and left them to their conscience.
It is even possible that some people within your team will for no reason antagonise all your actions and intents. They may show you so much hatred and make every move to work against the plan of God for your life. Some will habour hatred just because the Lord is prospering you. Some may wish you bad, and go to the extent of including such wishes in their prayer points. But you must not fight for yourself; just allow them to face the great Avenger. We must be harmless and inoffensive so that we don't give people reasons to quarrel with us. We must labour to preserve peace. The world hated Christ without a cause, yet he died for them. When they brought Him before Pontius Pilate, they could not find any blame against Him, yet they demanded that He must be crucified. This is the same Jesus who chose to love an unloving world. He died for us while we were yet sinners. He is called the judge of Israel (Micah 5:1). If He takes over your case, your enemies are in serious trouble. If He decides to advocate on your behalf, there can never be any appeal against His verdict. When He decides to be your witness, you can be sure that He will put all of them to shame. Is anybody troubling your peace in your home, office, neighborhood, school, the Almighty God will put them where they belong in Jesus' name. No matter what the enemy does, your prosperity, progress, provision and security is guaranteed in Him. The enemy that has lifted himself against you and all the voices that are fighting against your glorious destiny shall be truncated in Jesus' name. The Lord will show up for you and take over all the battles of your life, and you can be sure that victory is yours. The most important thing is to stay on the Lord's side.
Key Point:
When the Lord is on your side, you can sleep with your two eyes closed.

Beyond Healing .
Thursday, November 10th .
Pastor Chris
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2).
Someone asked a question: “Is it possible to be healed by God, and then lose the healing?” In answering, let’s recall the account of the lame man Jesus healed at the pool of Bethesda in John chapter five. Jesus saw the same man in the temple after he had been healed and said to him, “…Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (John 5:14). This statement answers the question in focus: People could lose their healing and even get into a more precarious state than they were before they got healed.
It’s similar to what Jesus said about unclean spirits: “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first…” (Matthew12:43-45).
God wants you to look beyond healing. Healing is temporary; everyone Jesus healed in the Bible lived, and still died eventually. This is why at the Healing School, we teach people not just how to receive healing but how to keep their healing and sustain themselves in the divine life. It’s not enough to be healed. God’s best is that you live in divine health. Someone who’s healed of a certain ailment could get sick again with a different diagnosis.
Thus, the most important thing is your life with God—your spiritual life. What life are you really living with God? It’s not about healing; it’s about the Word of God and your life. Make the Word of God your source and your foundation. Live in, and by the Word of God, and learn to glorify God with your life. Let your life become an instrument of His glory and righteousness, and you’ll live triumphantly over sickness, diseases, sin, Satan, darkness, death and the world. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the working of your Word in my Spirit. Your Word constantly and consistently renews my mind, and I walk in your perfect will, bearing fruits of righteousness. You’re exalted in me today; your glory fills me through and through, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Isaiah 33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity. ||
|| 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. ||

YOU'RE AN OVERCOMER
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **You’re An Overcomer** Tuesday 8th November . Pastor Chris
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).
You’re a victor in Christ Jesus; you were born that way. Refuse to allow the circumstances of life get you to think otherwise. You’re born of God, and have therefore overcome the world and its systems: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4). Through faith you have overcome the world!
What is faith? It’s the evidence of unseen realities. While others may not see you as an overcomer, you know you are, because you’re born of God; your evidence is the infallible Word of God. The Spirit of God also bears you witness that you’re an overcomer! Have, and live with this confidence. Anything that hails, proceeds or originates from God is an overcomer.
The Word of God proceeds and originates from God, which means the Word is an overcomer. So, what are you supposed to do when you face life’s adversities, negative situations such as cancer, infirmities, diseases, death, barrenness, or joblessness? Release the Word; it’ll of a necessity overcome the situation! The Word of God on your lips will destroy diseases, barrenness, and death; it’ll get you a job and change your financial situation.
Get piloted on the Word; begin to fly on the Word; move by the Word. The Word of God can’t be stopped. Remember, they buried Jesus—the Word—in the grave for three days, but He came out of that grave. Hallelujah! The Word is unstoppable. It’ll destroy all barriers. It’ll go anywhere and penetrate any nation, condition or circumstance.
As a new creation, you’re not an ordinary being. You’re born of the Word of God and that makes you the Word of God in flesh. Therefore, keep manifesting the glory of God and expressing His righteousness everywhere. Praise God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I live in, by, and through your Word; your Word pilots me and has lifted me above the confusion and the failure that work in this world. I live a life of success, health, prosperity, victory, and glory. The life of Christ in me makes me triumphant. I’m making progress from glory to glory, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Further Study: || 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ||
|| 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. ||
|| Romans 8:35-36 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. ||

YOUR SEED AND YOUR FUTURE
Everything in life begins with a seed . The most powerful seed on earth is the word of God. The whole earth was created with God's spoken words, Genesis 1:3, 9, 11.
When you plant a seed to God , it becomes a driving force for you to carry out your calling in life. Your seed provides you the ability to reach God-inspired goals which you have set for your yourself and this creates a glorious future for you. You plant a seed of faith in your present condition to secure your future, with the harvest of that seed. Without a seed, there is no future.
" While the earth remains there will be seed time and harvest'' Genesis 8:22
The above verse is the key for aboundance and multiplication which God gave to Noah when he tied man's life to the seed principle .
Your seed ties you to the Lord and links you up to the limitless source of life, which is God Himself. One important point to remember is that, the power of a seed is not in the size of the seed , but in the faith power in that seed. Sowing into God's kingdom includes money seeds, but its far more than money. Every time you show love, give a word of encouragement, or pray for some, you are planting a seed. The important point to bear in mind while sowing any seed is that every seed will produce after its kind, what you sow, is what you will reap. So find out what you require for a more glorious life in Christ and sow a seed of it, to create a harvest for your future.
Sowing into the expansion of the kingdom is an investment, the most secured and profitable investment anyone can get involved with. Lets hear from our Lord Jesus himself.
" Very I say unto you, there is no man that hath left houses or brethren or sister,or father or mother or wife, or children for my sake and the gospel's , But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this life'' Mark 10:29-30. This is an investment into the great commission, its an investment into God's only saving power for mankind. God wants each of us to support the communication of the gospel, because unless the word is preached, there is no faith,( Romans 10:12) and without faith, no one can be saved. Jesus is yet to die, for that man or woman who has never heard the Gospel. This is the very reason why we a preaching on this blog, and other platforms via the internet, to reach the unreached, and tell the untold, in the millions. Jesus is coming back again and we must help the unprepared, to get prepared for his arrival.
If you will love to share in our blessing of a being co- labourer with God, if you will love to partner with us with your seed, to do God's business, CALL Tel +2348182913306, WHATSAPP +2348034967319

The important point to bear in mind while sowing any seed is that every seed will produce after its kind, what you sow, is what you will reap. So find out what you require for a more glorious life in Christ and sow a seed of it, to create a harvest for your future.
Sowing into the expansion of the kingdom is an investment, the most secured and profitable investment anyone can get involved with. Lets hear from our Lord Jesus himself.
" Very I say unto you, there is no man that hath left houses or brethren or sister,or father or mother or wife, or children for my sake and the gospel's , But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this life'' Mark 10:29-30. This is an investment into the great commission, its an investment into God's only saving power for mankind. God wants each of us to support the communication of the gospel, because unless the word is preached, there is no faith,( Romans 10:12) and without faith, no one can be saved. Jesus is yet to die, for that man or woman who has never heard the Gospel. This is the very reason why we a preaching on this blog, and other platforms via the internet, to reach the unreached, and tell the untold, in the millions. Jesus is coming back again and we must help the unprepared, to get prepared for his arrival.

1 JOHN 1 MSG
1 John 1The Message (MSG)
1 1-2 From
the very first day, we were there, taking it all in—we heard it with
our own ears, saw it with our own eyes, verified it with our own hands.
The Word of Life appeared right before our eyes; we saw it happen! And
now we’re telling you in most sober prose that what we witnessed was,
incredibly, this: The infinite Life of God himself took shape before us.
3-4 We
saw it, we heard it, and now we’re telling you so you can experience it
along with us, this experience of communion with the Father and his
Son, Jesus Christ. Our motive for writing is simply this: We want you to
enjoy this, too. Your joy will double our joy!Walk in the Light
5 This,
in essence, is the message we heard from Christ and are passing on to
you: God is light, pure light; there’s not a trace of darkness in him.
6-7 If
we claim that we experience a shared life with him and continue to
stumble around in the dark, we’re obviously lying through our
teeth—we’re not living what we claim. But if we walk in the
light, God himself being the light, we also experience a shared life
with one another, as the sacrificed blood of Jesus, God’s Son, purges
all our sin.8-10 If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—make a clean breast of them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God.
