Excerpts from the message
The regenerated Mind – 21st September
2014
Isa 26:3
Our
mind is the centre of our thoughts. Thoughts are very powerful, and they are
more than just imaginations; they can either deliver to us a glorious life or
keep us on the sideline of life (Prov 23:7). The problems we have in the world
today are as a result of our mind/mentality (thought pattern); what we think in
our mind is what our lives reflect. The boundary of our blessings is determined
by the extent of our vision, thoughts, etc; Success and failure in life starts
from our minds (Prov 4:23).
The
regenerated mind is one that has been transformed, trained, and programmed to
reflect Christ and the victory we have in Him through a constant and persistent
focus, meditation, profession and practice of our faith in Christ.

If
our lives must change, then our mindsets about our lives must change. We must
take God’s word concerning our circumstances, meditate on it until it becomes a
mindset and we begin to live it out. It is our duty to renew our minds and
transform our lives by our continued meditation on God’s word (Phil 4:7-8, Rom
12:1); God’s word must form our thoughts (Josh 1:8).
