THE RENEWED MIND BY OLUYINKA OMOTOSO
Renewing of mind isn't what you think you can just achieve and later stop. You have to continue in it because it's a lifelong process.
Every thought and imagination that comes through our hearts has nothing to do than to overwhelm, govern, control and create a kind of strong desire in our hearts on which our soul will consistently act upon as we journey through.
The place of soul is a powerful place in a man's heart in such that it quickly attracts any thought, imagination or counsel that comes, whether they are of God or not.
If you're not renewing your mind (Soul) with the Word, then the mind itself, would be renewed with whatever it sees or attracts. In other words, your mind would renew itself with something else if you don't renew it with the Word of God because the soul must feed on something!
There's a misconception about this thing that most people do say, even some of the believers. You'll hear them say that it is impossible to gain total freedom over flesh. That's deception! The more you renew your mind with God's Word, the less you mind the things of the fresh.
The book of 2 Timothy 3:16 established this fact.
2 Timothy 3:16
Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action)...AMP Version.
The reason why some Christians think they're not growing is because they haven't make 'Renewing of Mind' their utmost desire and priority, which is the right and balanced diet for our soul. Just as Kenneth Hagin said "If we are true children of God, born of God, and we haven't grown, it's because we haven't had the right diet."
This is a challenging statement to as many believers who think their status is their spiritual growth.
Your spiritual growth isn't determined by your official post in the church of God, yes! The fact that you're operating in one, two, or three out of the Ministry gifts (Apostle, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers) doesn't determine your spiritual growth as well. It is the spiritual state of your soul that determines your spiritual growth.
Let it be your utmost desire to consistently renew your mind with God's Word. It is God's will for our lives.
