Your Devotional message for 26th March 2021
Scripture
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2, NKJV).
Explanation
The current COVID-19 crisis has led to a significant rise in the incidence and prevalence of mental health problems. This was a challenge in the society before COVID-19, and with the crisis this has been reported to increase. Mental health diseases are issues of the mind. I have had the opportunity to witness these issues. How is the state of your mind and heart? The mind is the gateway for many issues of life. It is a battle ground between the carnality and spirituality of life. The mind is a center for intellect, thinking and emotions. The scripture instructs to Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23, NKJV). The issues of life emanated through the heart of man.
Today, the concept of Spiritual intelligence has evolved. It is written that, 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 (Romans 8:5-6, NKJV). Are you carnally minded with no Spiritual intelligence and awareness of Spirituality of life? Are you living your life without Christ as Your protector? This is a very reason David, a Man of God like would say to God “examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my mind and my heart.” Meditation on the Word of God is crucial to guide and renew your mind day and night. As you practice this exercise, expect a change.
Stay tune as we shall continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed.
Confession
I give myself to the word of God, the Lord has put His Words in my mouth. I have utterance to make known the mystery of the Gospel. I have been set over and rule over the kingdoms. I have the great Power to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down evils and wickedness. I have received the Divine Power of God to build and to plant businesses and estates in the name of Jesus.
