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.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...
