RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FOR SUNDAY 12TH MAY 2019 – KEEP YOUR MIND ON HIM

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME SUNDAY 12TH MAY 2019.

TOPIC: KEEP YOUR MIND ON HIM

BIBLE TEXT: Romans 8:5-6 NKJV

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those [who live] according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded [is] death, but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR TODAY

To be carnally minded means to set your mind on fleshly, worldly things. The Christian who is carnally minded is governed or ruled by his senses, emotions and the circumstances of life. The Bible warns that this produces death, a separation from the God-life.

On the other hand, the Christian who is spiritually minded has his attention on the unseen realities of the Kingdom through the Word of God. He lives by the Word, and responds to issues and situations on the basis of God’s Word.

Let me give you a simple example: when the man who is carnally minded feels a headache, coupled with fever, his senses tell him, “Now you’re sick; you may have just caught the flu.” And because his focus is on how he feels, he agrees and says, “I think I better see a doctor.”

On the contrary, when the man who is spiritually minded feels the same symptoms, he’s unperturbed, because he knows he’s uninfectable. His attention is on the Word, and according to the Word, divine health is his nature in Christ. Therefore, he says, “I refuse to be sick, because I have the life of God in me.”

The Bible lets us know that those who live by the senses cannot please God (Romans 8:8); that’s because they aren’t walking by faith, for without faith, it’s impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Christianity is a walk in faith. Faith is the lifestyle of the just, and the basis for faith is the Word of God. Therefore, let the Word of God dominate your thinking and control your life.

Stay your mind on the Word and the Word lone, and have a life of absolute peace with prosperity. Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” The Hebrew word for “Peace” here is “Shalom”—the rest of God, wherein is prosperity, health, strength, etc. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
I refuse to be governed, controlled or ruled by the
physical senses; rather, I see, think, talk and live by
faith, and respond to issues and situations through
the Word. I live in the Word and walk in the full
consciousness of the spiritual Kingdom to which I
belong, enjoying the full provisions of the Gospel, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
