RENEW YOUR MIND
Romans 12:1-2
The Christian life begins with a renewed mind. As the Holy Spirit ministered to your spirit, your mind began accepting that the way you were living would land you in great trouble, even in this life, and later in eternity. Your mind started thinking more correctly concerning the things that had kept you away from being a Christian all that while. All of a sudden you start seeing things by what God says about them.
The same renewed mind is what you need to continue to grow and live as a Christian. You must change your mind about practically everything that you encountered earlier on – the way you think, the attitudes you embrace, and the behavior that comes out of your thoughts and attitudes. If you don’t have a change of mind about fornication for example, there is no way you are going to stop doing it.
Renewing your mind is fundamental to your being transformed into the image of Christ, which is the greatest thing that can happen to anyone. The entire Christian life is about being transformed into the image of Christ. The apostle affirms that this is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God for every human on earth.
The truth is that if you are not transformed, you are most unlikely to enjoy the Christian life. Your life will be going round and round like a circus with no positive end in mind. Repentance is a continuous process in your entire life on earth.
Prayer
1. Thank God for His ultimate goal of transforming you into the image of Jesus Christ His Son.
2. Pray that you will constantly seek the mind of God on every issue and align your mind to accept that.
3. Father, please help me know Your will concerning everything.
Declarations
I declare that I am a candidate of the image of Christ. For this reason, my mind is subject to the Holy Spirit. I receive God’s instruction concerning everything that comes my way. I declare by the grace of God that God’s thoughts on an issue become my thoughts, and His ways become my ways in the name of Jesus.

RENEW YOUR MIND
Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your 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.
