 The Mind of Christ

Let this mind be in you,  which was also in Christ Jesus. – Phil 2:5

          This verse encourages us to meditate on “What is the mind of Christ Jesus?”

•  It is being mindful to the needs of others which means one has to be sacrificial.  The one and only sacrifice is made by Christ; He sacrificed himself on the cross of the Calvary to restore man’s relationship with God which is everlasting life.  This is the ultimate aim of Man’s life.  Whether man is conscious of this or not God is faithful to bring mankind closer to Himself.

• Christ’s purpose of coming into this world is to fulfill the will of God the Father which is to bring redemption to Mankind. He obeyed God the Father absolutely.  His commitment at Gethsemane shows his obedience to God’s will.  Christ was raised because he became obedient unto death.

• Phil 2:8 says He humbled himself.  The mind of Christ is in being humble when Christ was inquired by Pilate and when he was taunted, He remained humble.  Christ’s humility is awesome because He was not an ordinary person when he was among men.  He had the authority over the heaven and earth.  Because Christ humbled himself, he never used his authority for his own benefit.  He chose to be humble and obedient so that the work of salvation is complete.  Such a magnificent God (Christ)  humbled himself and obeyed God the Father.

        Apostle Paul says “Follow me”  in I Cor 11:1 because he followed Christ.  He calls himself the chief of sinners or the worst sinner in I Tim 1 : 15 which is the mark of humility. 

I Peter 2:23 says,  “When he (Christ)  suffered he threatened not”  I remember a time,  when I was tortured by my seniors due to jealousy.  I was patient for a  few months but then I threatened them by saying I would get a transfer and then I will write about them to the superiors.  They stopped torturing me after that; but I felt sad thinking that I could not be like Christ when I suffered.

      As children of God,  it is essential that we have the mind of Christ which is sacrificial,  obedient and humble with the help of the Holy spirit.

Prayer

     Dear Lord,  help us to grow in your likeness so that we may be desirable to you

Amen.

A blessing to all

Children are a gift from The Lord, they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like sharp arrow in a warriors hand, how happy is the man whose quivers is full of them. Psalms 127:3-5

Psalms 113:9 He makes the barren woman abide in the house as a joyful mother of children.

The Bible tells us in his words how children are a gift from The Lord. Every single child is a reward and a blessing. Whether they are bringing parents pride and joy or whether they are teaching us how to be more patient and forgiving children are a gift from The Lord and a source for the growth of his kingdom here on earth.

Isiah 66:7,9

Before the birth pain even begins, Jerusalem gives birth to a son.

 Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth and not deliver it says The Lord.

Proverbs 17:6

Grand children are the crown of old man and the glory of son is their father.

God has blessed everyone of us with this beautiful gift of being a mother and father. Children are very  precious in his sight and The Lord will use his children in his army for his kingdom and for his glory.

God has promised his people that when he has given a womb then he will definitely bless them with children. It is God’s promise and his promises are true and living and he is a faithful God.

Nothing is impossible with God.  So whosoever is reading this today God is talking to you. When he can bless Sarah, Hannah with a son, so will he not bless you with a child. So cling to his promise verse and be blessed.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, please cover all the ladies and their womb with your precious holy blood. Dear Jesus bless all the ladies with the gift of the children so that they thankyou and glorify your name. No weapons formed against them shall prosper. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
