For God hath not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 (Timothy 1:7). The
human mind is the seat of control of man. It is very powerful. It is the mind
that processes information from the spirit and passes to the body. The mind
determines what the body does. No wonder God said in Philemon 1:14, “But without thy mind would I do nothing;…”
That is how important your mind is. Unfortunately, many believers don’t realize
this and so all manner of things occupy their minds and leave them in a low
state. Others don’t make any effort to develop their minds. These are wrong!
Your
mind works like a computer. It is what you put in that you get from it. It is
the data you put in that is processed and brings out information that leads to
transformation. So it is a conscious effort. You have a duty to consistently
work on your mind. According to our opening scripture, God has given you a
sound mind but you have a role to play to maintain this sound mind. Don’t leave
your mind empty else evil will still find a way to occupy it. The best way to
work on your mind is to fill your mind with the right things. The trustworthy
source of right information is the Word of God so the more you expose your mind to God’s word, the
sounder it gets. Then you must be an
ardent reader of good books and materials both inspirational and
educational. Then always listen and pay
attention to the right stuff. When this is achieved, the next thing is to
put your mind to work by exercising it. The restrictions you place on your mind
are what will stay. Beloved, consciously work on your mind.
