The era we are in, believers in Christ Jesus must not mold the values of their faith on the principles of this world. The world is lusts driven, but the Word of God is love-driven. The reason why the church system is tending the direction of great apostasy is because, love is no longer the drive of our mindset, so us to remain on the right course, we rid ourselves of all form of lusts.
1 John 2: 15, 16
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him. For all that is in the world, lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but it is of the world.
The love of the Father is simply the mind of Christ and when we depend completely on the Holy Spirit, we will not just be the hearers of the Word alone, but also doers and it is in this our attitude is shaped to align into the perfect will of God.
It is not the believer in Christ’s mandate to bring peace to the earth, but the believer’s mandate to preach the peace and the gospel is peace with the message of love, so there is no confederation of faiths to ensure peace, it will rather form a Babel-like system. I see! I can see what happened in the time of tower of babel happening in this end time, but this time, it will be Babylon the great falling down. Babylon the mother of all prostitute and the foundation of spiritual harlotry.
There is a morally evil system opposing to all that God is and holds dearly.
The shaping of our mindset is to reach the mind of Christ.
What is the mind of Christ?
Isaiah 40: 13
Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or as His counselor has taught Him?
We do not need the world’s ideologies to shape our mindset, because a brand plucked from fire, stay branded and will not experience the world’s rebranding because you are fire-proved. The mind of Christ is for us to be spiritual, not carnally minded. We can only judge things correctly from the perspective of the Spirit and this is because we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2: 215, 16). The mind of Christ must be in us, having known that Jesus is not like many religious confused scholars or what these scholars has tagged Him to be; He is the I AM THAT I AM who took the form of a bondservant and came in the likeness of men (Philippians 2: 5- 8). All godly actions begin with the renewal of the mind, which defines the very absolute and right thinking. Do you know your actions are only but the fruit of your deepest thoughts?
The mind of Christ is for us to set our eyes on Him, not on magic wands promoted by some of our big name men of God. We must sets our mind on Christ and keep it set on what is above (Colossians 3: 2) and this is the key to resisting temptations.
In the church, gossiping is never and can never be the mind of Christ, but this has eaten down deep into our hearts. You can never be an agent of positive change when the mind of Christ is you do not have
The mind of Christ is for us not to conform to this world, and this can only be possible when we experience the transformation by the renewal of our minds (Romans 12: 2).
The mind of Christ working in us desire to bring glory to God (John 17: 5) alone, not to any system designed by men, not even the church system. If to glory is to a particular church because of her popularity, you are on a broad path to hell, even when your language has become it is well.
The mind of Christ is to provide salvation for sinners (Luke 19:10)
The wisdom of God is overwhelmingly surpassing the knowledge of men and if you have the mind of Christ, God’s truth will becomes your perfect drive, not the ideologies of men.
Whatever affects your thought will definitely shape your mentality and form your behavior.
