“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
Proverbs 23:7
Thoughts. The kind you think about can either bless your mind or curse it. We need to see how important our thoughts are. What kind of thoughts are dominating your thinking right now? Does it work? Is it money? Is it a sin? Is it worry? Is it fear? Is it your problem? In other words, what kind of food have you been feeding your mind with?
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind
on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:1-2
To live the life God intended for you to live, you must learn to set your affection at another level. A level that I would call the “Heavenly Level.” The Word of God said to seek after those things which are above. But a lot of God’s children have been seeking those things that are on the earth. They are after money, possessions, wealth, prestige, power, etc., on an earthly level instead of on the heavenly level. These earthly things may satisfy them momentarily, but they will never give them eternal gratification. So, does that mean that God doesn’t want me to have a bank account and all other things that pertain to this life?
“clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us,
written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on
tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.”
2 Corinthians 3:3
You’ll be surprised how many children of God are still being controlled by sin today. They do not see the importance of living a holy life in front of the world. They think that a little compromise here and there will not hurt them.
