The Mind of Christ, God’s will done

1 Corinthians 2:16
¹⁶For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

But we have the mind of Christ!! Isn’t that beautiful, we as believers being engrafted in Christ now by the aid of the Holy spirit can perceive the mind of Christ which means we also have the mind of Christ.

Today as Holy Spirit filled Christians, we have desires and thoughts that are in line with the word of God, at times we are tempted to think its beyond our reach, or its merely a thought but what if its God speaking His will through your desires and thoughts? What if its God prompting you to detach from certain things or want a better life, to buy that land, to build a bigger house, to apply for a better Job, to preach the gospel to that stranger seated next to you on the bus? His mind is to align us to His purpose. What is it that drove Moses to come to the aid of Israel as they cried out to God in their captivity, what is it that made Martha know and perceive that Christ would have done something to save Lazarus from dying!! It is the mind of Christ in us, God at work in us to fulfill His purpose, the will and to do!!
Notice that in Jesus ‘s ministry, He always was led by the Spirit, and that He asserts:

John 5:19
¹⁹Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Everything Jesus did was inspired by the mind of the Spirit; in every word, deed…thus, if we have Christ and the Holy Spirit, how much then must we pay keen attention to our renewed Mind!!
Scripture proceeds to say that it is Him that gives us the will and ability to do, therefore that which you think is His idea for You to act on and that He gives you the Ability to also do it.

Romans 8:14
¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

After knowing that we are the sons of God and are led by the Spirit of God; our influences as believers is the Spirit of God, He leads, He guides and directs our thoughts to align to His purpose even with an infilling of the wisdom of God guiding and order our footsteps just as Jesus was led in doing the will and desire of His Father who at in heaven.
We mustn’t ignore the desires and promptings of our father by His Spirit who has made us a new creation with the mind of Christ.

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Prophetic Utterance:

I am a new creation, i bear the mind of Christ!
As Jesus is, so am i in this world!
My thoughts are an extension of the desires of God by the Holy Spirit!
Halleluya.
