SPIRIT-BASED PLANNING AND STRATEGY 3



TEXT Rom 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace

MESSAGE
Our greatest tool for strategizing and making plans is the mind. Whether you know it or not, the process of planning pulls concepts from the spirit realm into physical manifestation. The mind of man is a psychic gate that demarcates the realm of the spirit from the physical. If you open this gate to the devil through carnal mindedness, you'd have his will manifesting in your physical experience even though you're thoroughly saved and heaven-bound. If you also open the gate to God through the process we'd be discussing soon, you'd have God's will manifesting in your earth realm.


The reason why so much evil happen on earth is because the minds of men are polluted and dominated by demons. So they easily open the gate for the things concluded by Satan to manifest in the physical. Men can't help this because they are brought up and trained to be carnally minded. This is the "...worthless way of life handed down to you by your ancestors" (1Pet 1:18 ISV). But when you got born again, you're brought into a new realm and reality. Thus you have a chance and opportunity to develop a new mindset.


The new mindset that God wants you to develop is called the mind of Christ. With it you'd easily open yourself to divine and spiritual realities. You'd know the will and mind of God concerning issues and as they take hold of your mind through divine planning and meditation, you'd usher them into the physical realm. By the mind of Christ you can usher in unlimited spiritual power and resources to your physical realm to work on your behalf. Determine to operate with the mind of Christ.

LET US PRAY
Father thank you for granting me grace to access the mind of Christ

I desire to be spiritually minded, Father by your grace cause me to operate in this realm

I pray for the church that we might all let this mind be in us which was in Christ.

Father manifest your will in this nation through us in Jesus name

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT

TEXT: Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? MESSAGE: While Gideon was still sckeptic of ever being able to engage his oposition in battle God gave him the battle instruction. God already told him that His presence with Gideon will ensure his easy victory. But he added one very key instruction that ties up everything together. He said GO IN THIS THY MIGHT What might was the Lord talking about? This might God says is the presence of the Lord by which he will defeat the enemy as though they were just one man (Judges 6:16). The Lord was saying that he should advance against his opposition being strong in the Lord. We shall explore this phrase in a couple of days, but one thing that we must get today is that we must go in the strength of God alone. There is always a tendency to engage your challenges with other forms of strength. It is wrong to engage your challenge...

SEIZE THE MOMENT 2: HOW TO ESCAP JUDGEMENT

Image
TEXT: Luke 23:39-42   39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. MESSAGE The malefactor (as he is called in our text) is actually crucified and facing his last moments on earth, he seizes the moment. In one desperate cry he turned the course of his destiny. He is on the brink of everlasting torment in hell. But just before he falls into eternal doom, one sentence saves him. He calls to the Lord. He didn't have the time to weep over his sins and the consequence. He had an audacity of faith and dared to ask for life in paradise. Guess what? He g...

THE MANUAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE

TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness MESSAGE Most people today, especially in this part of the world, buy appliances and never bother to go through the manual. The result is that they either soon damage the appliance or grossly under utilize it. Someone once bought a very expensive android tablet and all he could do with it was to make and receive calls. he ran everywhere to send e-mails. He spent hours at business centres trying to get his documents typed. Many other things he suffered because he never knew that his tablet could be used to solve all of those issues. In much the same way, when we receive eternal life into our spirits, it will be foolish of us to just assume that we know what to do with it. Just as the wisest thing anybody that bought an applicance would do is to check for the manufacturer's instruction in the manual, so also...
