Topic :The Mind Of Christ.
Memory Verse : Philippians 2:6. He always had the nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to remain equal with God.
Bible Reading : Philippians 2:3-5 GNB. Key Verse : v4.
Don’t do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble towards one another, always considering others better than yourselves. And look out for one another’s interests, not just for your own. The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had:
One of the weapons the enemy uses to fight believers, even in our days is selfish interest. That is when our personal ambitions and pursuits beclouds our sense of sound reasoning. This happens because of what men think they stand to gain before fellow men instead of God. When we place self ahead of kingdom agenda, we are bound to miss out of God’s purpose and blessing that goes with it, not only that, we also loose strength with God. This is because his strength is made available to back up his purposes. “Your life in Christ makes you strong, and his love comforts you. You have fellowship with the Spirit, and you have kindness and compassion for one another. I urge you, then, to make me completely happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and being one in soul and mind.” Philippians 2:1-2.
Looking at Jesus Christ our master and perfect example as a case study, we can see that redemption became possible through him because he was able to place divine agenda ahead of his personal interest as a person. Everything he did towards salvation of mankind was out of a willing heart, nothing was imposed on him by the father. When there was need for someone to be sent from the presence of God to rescue man from sin and the bondage of Satan, he willingly volunteered to be sent. While on earth, he willingly took the form of a man. He humbly and patiently lived and worked among men so that he could accomplish his earthly mission. He never counted it a kind of demotion in ranking to operate on earth as a man. As a man he looked upto God in everything and prayed to him which he wouldn’t need to while operating in his full capacity as God the creator that wasn’t, created. The resultant effect of his uncommon submission was, divine promotion. “For this reason God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name. And so, in honour of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees,” Philippians 2:9-10.
The work of God will be refreshing and rewarding in our days if we can tame ourselves, that is our personal ambitions that stand against the plan and purpose of God in our generation. Kingdom building will be easier with the right synergy among believers and kingdom workers if we join hands as partners to fight together in unity of purpose to win territories for Jesus Christ our saviour and not for ourselves. This can only be possible when we treat others as being important ahead of ourselves or when we are considerate while dealing with others. “As the scripture says: “Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice?”We, however, have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for saving my soul.. Today, I die to every selfish desires that will hinder your purpose in my life. Thank you for making me a party to your plan this end time. Let the mind of Christ be at work in me forever in Jesus mighty name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
