One of the reasons Jesus came was to preach the gospel and he passed on that assignment to us when he was leaving the earth. It’s our responsibility to also pass it on!

Jesus was someone who stood up for the oppressed and downtrodden in the society and he also spoke up for the truth and spoke against injustices. So let’s learn from Jesus how to speak up!

Jesus has given us believers the power and authority to do the things he did. But do you you believe it? If you do, then just do the things he did!

Jesus went about healing all those who were sick. Guess what? We are to do this and greater!

One of the ways to be like Jesus is to do the things he did. Jesus said those who believe in him would do the things he did and even greater! So what kind of things did Jesus do?

Yes! I have the mind if Christ through the Holy Spirit but...

What really are you praying for? Do you pray for the the really important things? Are you praying for your mind?

It’s not every thought that drops into our mind that we should think about. We must deliberately take our thoughts captive and think about what we are thinking about! So what should we focus our minds on?

The same way our bodies need to be fed and nourished in order to be healthy and survive, our spirits and souls also need to be fed and nourished. But what should we feed our minds with?

To have the mind of Jesus we have to free our minds from every wrong mindset, thoughts and imaginations that are not in line with God’s word

Jesus said unless we become like a child we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. But what does that even mean?

Jesus did not allow his mind to focus on the circumstances around him but to focus on God and because of that his faith was unshakable. Do you have a mind of faith?

Though Jesus came in human form, he never ever committed sin. He was holy, blameless and righteous. To be like Jesus, we also have to be holy.

If you study the way Jesus related with people throughout the bible or all the miracles that Jesus performed whether it was healing the sick or feeding the 5,000, it was done with a heart of love and compassion.

To become like Jesus our mind has to be renewed and transformed to be like the mind of Jesus. So what was the mind of Jesus like? He had a surrendered will..

Though Jesus is God, He humbled Himself and came to this world as a human being, and not only that he took on the nature of a servant. Jesus didn’t come to this world with the noble birth of a king to rule us and boss us around as earthly kings do. His own kingship was in form of a servant. So Jesus had the mind of a servant.

Today we are so concerned about our reputation, what people think of us and what they say about us so we’ll do everything possible to protect it. But what mindset did Jesus have about His reputation?

To be like Jesus, our minds need to be renewed to the kind of mind that Jesus had. So what kind of mind did Jesus have?

The mind is like the engine room that determines the direction you go. Who’s controlling your mind?

The same way babies learn by imitating their parents and people around them, born again children of God are to imitate God so they can become like Him.

After you become born again, you automatically have three enemies and their plan is to prevent you from achieving your goal as a child of God which is to become like Jesus Christ. So it’s important for us to know who those enemies are so that we know how to deal with them. The first enemy we identified yesterday is the ‘flesh’ so who are the other two enemies?

The goal of every born again Christian should be to become like Jesus which sounds easy enough doesn’t it? Unfortunately we have three major enemies that will do everything possible to prevent us from achieving that goal. One of these enemies is the ‘flesh’. So what really is the flesh?

All God wants us to do is to become like Jesus. Simple!

How confident are you about your relationship with Jesus? Apostle Paul at every stage knew how well he was doing. Do you?

When there is no vision of what you’re aspiring for, it becomes frustrating and it’s hard to set a guide for your life. But God has not called us to become born again for no reason. The purpose of becoming a Christian is not just so that we can go to heaven after we grow old and leave this earth. There is more to our Christianity than that. So what exactly should we become?
