“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy–meditate (think / dwell) on these things.” - Philippains 4:8
For a few days, we will be studying the 'whatever's' Paul is talking about.
Bringing up good report means to be thinking positive and be saying the blessings God has given you. Your thinking, actions and words are some things you shouldn't take for granted. I mean, using them incorrectly can injure ourselves and our success. Say the things God wants you to say, do the things Christ wants you to do, think the thoughts Christ wants you to think. Tempation of course will come our way! And the same method too!
When we accept the thoughts Satan puts into our mind, we haven't fully equipped our mind, body and soul. No, we are still a cast away about to be shipwrecked. But meditating on the Word of God means memorising it and soaking yourself in it. Renounce your blessing in the Word. Say the confessions! The Devil cannot touch someone who knows who they are in Christ. We must:
Say the Word
Act on the Word
Put it into practice.
Using the method above (SAP), your understanding, faith and fear of the Lord will grow immensely. Fear of the Lord is not fear the paralysis us, no! It is the fear that makes us see God's power, glory and miracles in our lives and in others. Be always thinking, acting and saying who you are in Christ and Satan's gotta stand back!
CONFESSIONS
I am the apple of God's eye, He is my redeemer, Helper and Ever Present Help in times of need. He gives me strength to acknowledge new goals. His power works in me. I am special. A superhero. I will work for God forever. In Jesus Name, Amen
I will be putting these at the end of all my points now. Thanks for reading and God bless!
