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!
