Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional January 25th – God-Like Thinking

(Get Your Thoughts Directly From God’s Word)

TO THE BIBLE: Romans 12:2 NASB
“…Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

LET’S TALK
As a Christian, it’s important how you think and what you think about. You’re not of this world; therefore, you shouldn’t think like an ordinary person.

Don’t say, “I’m American, or I’m Australian, as a result, there’s a way I think.” No! When you’re born again, you cease to be of your earthly nativity, because your spirit is recreated.

You should therefore only think the Word way. God’s Word must form the basis for the kind of thoughts you process and allow. Now that you’re in Christ, you have a new culture: the Christ culture.

Until this becomes a reality in your spirit, you’ll live like an ordinary person and not experience the sublime blessings of life in Christ.

The Bible says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

You’re of a new lineage and heritage. Refuse to be described by any earthly culture or affiliation. If you must be identified as Zulu, Afrikaans, American, British, German, French, Nigerian, etc., let it be because you want to win those of such descent to Christ.

That’s how the Apostle Paul puts it. He said, “To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, I became as one under the Law, though not being under the Law myself, so that I might gain those who are under the Law” (1 Corinthians 9:20 NASB).

Our opening verse, in the New International Version, says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind….” As you meditate on the Word, your mind is programmed to think accordingly. You’ll begin to talk differently and act in line with your confessions of faith.

The Word of God is the only material that can energise you for success, position you for greatness, and sustain you in the transcendent life.

Go Deeper
Romans 12:2 AMPC; Philippians 4:8

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the education of my spirit through your Word. As I study and meditate on the Word, my mind is renewed in knowledge and spiritual understanding. Therefore, through my knowledge of the Word, I allow only excellent things into my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
