AN OPEN MIND

JULY 15TH – CAPSULE 15 

TOPIC: AN OPEN MIND 

BIBLE TEXT: JAMES 3 VS 17 – But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.


The wisdom God gives is not contentions nor argumentative. It will make you humble enough to listen to the counsel of other’s. God will share His wisdom through them as well. The real test of knowing whether the wisdom of God is present in the life of a child of God in the fruits he produces when acting on the love from within. 

If the fruits are true, righteous and brings praise then it's from God but when the results are related to the works of the flesh then such wisdom is beneath and not above. Daniel possessed this kind of mind, and was open towards his fellow Hebrew brothers; Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego. He didn’t do all the mighty works by himself, neither was he partial. His heart was pure and he sought to accommodate his brothers through the times of captivity by being open to their opinions in the Lord. Daniel 2 vs 17 – Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah his companions. Are you open to those God has set around you? 

The results of applying God’s wisdom is great. Daniel 2 vs 49 – Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king. The grace of God at work in his life made him humble, and it was counted unto righteousness for he carried his brothers along with an open mind.


Prayer: Father, please rest on me the spirit of wisdom in Christ Jesus to work with an open mind towards others.

Insight: The wisdom of God is pure with a transparent mind.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
