Title: THE GATEWAYS OF LIFE PART 13 (Mindset)
Preacher: Reverend Yewo Harawa and Pastor Macdonald Chibwe
2 Kings 5:1-14; John 15:1-3;
The word of God cleanses us.
Reflection:
▶️ How can the mind be renewed?
Colossian 3:16;
The more the word of God is in you, the more you are cleansed.
Philippians 2:5; John 13:3-5;
The mindset of Christ is the mindset of humility.
James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:5-7;
You need to be humble as that was the mindset which was with Christ on earth.
If God humbles you, you are finished, so best humble yourself before God humbles you.
One way of expressing humility before God is to cast all your care before Him through prayer.
Prayer is a sign of humility as you show that you rely on God in your life, submitting unto His power.
Prayerlessness is a sign of pride as you are proclaiming that you do not need God in your life.
If you know that you depend on God, then you ought to pray as you cannot make it on your own in life.
Genesis 3:1-6;
The temptation that happened in Eden is the heart of self dependence.
Reflection:
▶️ How will the things happen in your life without God's intervention?
God will not be directly involved in your life without you requesting and relying on His involvement.
Absolute surrender and submission is the ultimate form of humility.
Mark 14:32-36; Proverbs 16:3;
Humility is the highest form of surrender that shows although you have all what you have, you acknowledge God that you could not have had what you have without Him in your life.
Galatians 3:13-14;
Christ had to follow the model of God in order for Him to save us from the wages of sin which was brought into the world through the disobedience of man that originated from a tree.
A word is a great word because the man of God has said it.
You can only benefit from the word of God when you act according to what the man of God has said.
The things of God are usually contrary to mankinds logic.
The things of God do not flow with rationality or common sense.
2 Kings 7:1-2;
Many times, when the word of God comes, it comes in an environment that is very contrary to it.
If you move based on common sense, you will miss the blessings of God.
John 2:5;
The instructions of God makes no sense as they need you to take a step of faith, trust, and absolute surrender.
The breakthrough comes in the process as you are executing the task that God has given you.
John 9:1-7;
The kingdom of God operates under the law of obedience and not under your sense.
Under the mighty hand of God, anything is possible.
Have the mindset of obedience, trust and absolute surrender under the word of God.
You don't reason with God, but you follow what He instructs you to do.
Exodus 14:3-22;
It is upon God's word that your situation will change for the best.
Luke 17:11-14;
You need to act in line with the word of God for as you act upon it, you will get your breakthroughs, miracles, and open doors.
You should not sit down, but move forward because the word of God will activate physically in the process of acting upon it.
Grab the word of God and act upon it because in the process of acting upon it, there will be a miraculous change that will take place.
1 Kings 18:41-46;
Not acting upon the word of God is disobedience as it is a sign of disbelief and doubt in God.
Obedience is acting upon the word of God.
James 2:26; Matthew 14:25-29;
It is only those who act upon the word of God who benefit from it powerfully.
