THE EXCELLING WORD FOR TODAY 


Ability To Prove The Good, The Acceptable and The Perfect Pt 7 _ The Progressive Mind 


Romans 12:2 
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

You are welcome to a fresh new day, which you shall surely Excel in Excellence. 

Previously we came to understand that to have a mind under renewing, which will be able to make a choice of the good, the acceptable and the perfect will of God, we must prevent the mind viruses. Read the previous post for further explanation. 

In today's devotion we shall go on with the tips for renewing the mind. 

5. Embark On The Mind Renewing Process 
Renewing the mind is changing the mind from its old functions to new and better functions in a continuous approach. The greatest challenge with having a progressive mind is change. Change is a process not a platform; it is a journey not a destination; it is the streets and roads not the bus stops. The actualisation of change is not based on a promise but is based on precepts and process. Develop a hunger for change. Extra hunger is the fuel that ignites change in progress. The human mind is a channel through which things-to-be are coming into the realm of things-that-are. So also the human mind is the action room; the thought is the processing area, while the attitude is the product. The core purpose for renewing the mind is to have a personality transformation. In other wards, for you to be transformed, you must pass through renewing. Let us go further to itemizing the keys for renewing the mind. 

I. Guide Your Gates 
In addition to stopping the conformity of the mind to wrong standards and preventing the mind viruses, you also have to develop self-control. Your self control is your gate man. If you can guide your gates then you can guide your mind. If you can control majorly what you see and hear, then you can control your products. In Proverbs 25:28 the scripture says “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control."_NIV. In Proverbs 16:32 the scripture says that “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his (own) spirit than he who takes a city". The scripture further encouraged us in Proverbs 4:23, “Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issue of life"_NKJV. From the documented scriptures of the bible, it is an established truth that lack of self-control over your mind makes you vulnerable, proned to attack and wrong conformity of the world. Watch out for the continuation of this segment in our next part. Shalom!

Heaven As Written By A 17 Year Old Boy

I can only imagine... Heaven as written by a 17 Year Old Boy  This is excellent and really gets you thinking about what will happen in Heaven. 17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. "I wowed 'em," he later told his father, Bruce. It's a killer. It's the bomb. It's the best thing I ever wrote." It also was the last. Brian's parents had forgotten about the essay when a cousin found it while cleaning out the teenager's locker at Teays Valley High School in Pickaway County Brian had been dead only hours, but his parents desperately wanted every piece of his life near them, notes from classmates and teachers, and his homework.  Only two months before, he had handwritten the essay about encountering Jesus in a file room full of cards detailing every moment of the teen's life. But it was only after Brian's death that Beth and Bruce Moore realized that thei...

PARENTAL DECEPTION

PARENTAL DECEPTION According to Child Psychology, “a child’s personality is usually formed; that is, has built the basis of what he/she will be in the future between age zero (0) to age six (6)”. After which he/she starts conforming to the external factors surrounding him/her in-line with the basic foundation he/she has formed. But many parents and adults do not know this, while few who know are not really conscious of it.   Many grownups think that children between this age range are too tender to know anything in life. So they keep isolating them in some basic training of life thereby depriving them from building a solid character structure that can sustain them in their everyday conformity to life at large. “Children are heritage of the LORD and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that have his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the ...
