CULTIVATING THE RIGHT MINDSET

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

Oftentimes, the challenges that people face are a result of their mindset. What’s a mindset? A mindset is a fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person's responses and interpretations regarding any given situation. It’s an established way of thinking that governs how one behaves.

Being born again, you have the wisdom of the righteous, but you have to nurture it through the Word. As you continuously study and meditate on the Word, your mind is cultured to reason the Christ-way. You’re programmed aright for life, victory and fruitfulness.

However, your environment also plays a critical role. A wrong environment, saturated with negativity and worldly influences, will eventually shape your mindset. When you remain in an atmosphere where sickness, poverty, weakness, or defeat dominate conversations, those ideas may begin to influence your thinking.

That’s because humans are constantly being programmed by the things they hear, see, and those amongst whom they live. The way you are today is a result of the programming you received over the past years of your life. Your environment and the kind of information that you accepted contributed to your present mentality.

This is why choosing the right spiritual environment is essential, an environment where your mind is continually influenced and renewed by God’s Word. Romans 12:1-2 shows us the process: present your body to God as a living sacrifice, and then transform your mind. Let the Word of God replace your old way of thinking; exchange your thoughts for God’s thoughts.

Suddenly, you’ll discover that certain thoughts and expressions no longer align with who you are; you’ve accepted God’s way of thinking and allowed His Word to frame your mindset, resulting in a metamorphosis—a complete change of your state and estate. This transformation enables you to prove and live out God’s perfect will, because your thoughts align with His.

PRAYER 

Dear Father, thank you for granting me the mindset of the righteous through your Word. My thoughts align with your truth. I refuse worldly conformity; my mind is continually renewed to think excellence, victory and possibilities, and to prove and live out your perfect will, because my thoughts align with yours. Hallelujah!

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV;  I beseech[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your [b]reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Ephesians 4:23-24; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Luke 1:17 DNT He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children,[a] and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.”

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...
