Not Self-Occupied but Christ-Occupied I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 As we press deeper into the power of right believing, I want to show you practical ways in which you can be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Right believing is all about renewing your mind and uprooting the wrong beliefs that shape your thinking and behavior. That’s why the Word of God says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think” (Rom. 12:2, NLT). God wants to change the way we think by shifting our thoughts from self-occupation to Christ-occupation. Our human tendency is to be focused on ourselves. We are prone to excessive self-introspection and are easily susceptible to becoming preoccupied with ourselves rather than with...

Only Believe “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,   even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes   in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:14–15 Do you know why Jesus chose the cross? He went to the cross so that whoever believes in Him can receive the gift of eternal life. Whoever  believes . That is all you need to do to step into the inheritance that was purchased for you with the blood of the Son of God. Believe in HIM. Believe in Jesus. Believe in what He has done for you at the cross. Believe that all your sins have been imputed to Him and all His righteousness has been imputed to you (see 2 Cor. 5:21). Believe in the divine exchange. Believe in His love. Believe that all your sins have been punished at the cross and that through Jesus you have received the gifts of righteousness and eternal life. Look at John 3:15 again. Tell me, who qualifies for salvation? The Word of God doesn’t say, “Whoever ob...

Our Covenant-Keeping God Then the Lord told him, “I am the Lord who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as your possession.” But Abram replied, “O Sovereign Lord, how can I be sure that I will actually possess it?”…So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day and said, “I have given this land to your descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to the great Euphrates River…” Genesis 15:7–8, 18,  NLT When God promised to give Abraham land, Abraham asked, “God, how can I be sure?” And as if His word wasn’t good enough, God went one step further and cut a  covenant  with Abraham, binding Himself irrevocably to it to reassure His friend that He would do as promised. Let me say something about God’s covenants. They can  never  be broken, only replaced with a better one. My friend, God will do as He has promised you, and to set your heart at ease, He bound Himself to a  covenant  with you when He cut it with you...

If you've ever been overwhelmed by negative thoughts, you'd know you can’t just turn them off. You can’t just block out worst-case scenarios. You can’t just shut down anxious imaginations. Most days, they’re just stronger than you are. But here’s the good news:  Your anxiety is not stronger than Jesus and His unchanging Word. The devil can try to overpower you with his tactics of lying and intimidation. He can try to come against you with fearful thoughts and pessimistic projections of your future. But his lies don’t stand a chance against the truth of God’s Word. The Bible is filled with words and images that have the power to renew your mind. While you might not be able to stop  the wrong mental movies from playing in your mind,  you can  replace  them with the right ones from Scripture . Get Copies of Ps. Prince' and Win the fight !

For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 God has made it so easy for us in the new covenant to be directed by His wisdom and love. We no longer have to run to prophets to find out His will for us. He Himself leads us! For those of you who want to serve the Lord, but don’t know where to start, just ask yourself what is in your heart. If you have a desire to work among children, then do so. As a new covenant believer, that’s how your Father leads you. He puts His laws in your mind and writes them on your heart! Perhaps you feel a prompting to bless someone financially, even though the person looks prosperous. Follow that prompting because today, God speaks to you directly and He has made it easy for you to know His will through His promptings in your heart. We all know how looks can be deceiving. For example, many con artists believe that church folks are gullible. Therefore, they dress down with a well-rehearsed sob stor...
