THE WINNING MIND

Be blessed as you listen to a live message on Sound Mind at http://winningmind.try.churchedit.co.uk/media/

“But when he came to himself, he said,...  I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. Luke 15:17-18 (NKJV) Your mind is very important to all you do therefore there is the need to make the wise choice of investing in the care of your mind.  As we come to the end  of this 30 days journey I will like to encourage to make the winning decision. It is a decision that gives you the power to live above negative, destructive and defeating mind set while  a winning mind becomes a lifestyle. This winning decision is a decision to allow Jesus Christ to be your saviour and lord. He can empower you to have a winning mind.  If you are ready to make this decision say this prayer wherever you are: Dear God,  I know I have sinned and I can not help myself. I have been defeated in my mind and it it affecting my life. Forgive my sins and give me a new start. Give me a winning mind and let it be my lifes...

Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread ...  So He (Jesus) commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke  them  and gave  them  to His disciples to set before  them; and they set  them  before the multitude. Mark 8:4,6 (NKJV) A winning mind is a Solution-driven mind. In the above passage, while some people are asking: "how shall we do it",  Jesus told them what to do. The difference between those who ask how and those who say this is how is in their thinking.  Though Jesus was anointed, yet He knew what He would do.  A solution-driven mind is a mind that thinks of problems to solve, thinks of the way out difficult situations, thinks about generating results and thinks about answers to difficult questions. There are many problems that require solution in our world today.  It is unfortunate that many are not thinking solution-dr...

So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ Matt.25:20 (NKJV) A winning mind is a productive mind.  A productive mind always thinks of making things better, making someone better, making somewhere better than how it was met. Productive thinking is thinking of what you can add, how you can improve or how you can make better.  Enough of thinking of what you gain, what you can get or what you can take alone but what you can give or what you can contribute to your neighbour, profession, state, province, county, country and even to your world. Think productive thoughts. Reflection : What, who, where are you going to make better this week?

The earth was without form, and void; and darkness  was [ a ]  on the face of the deep...T hen God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. Gen.1:2-3 (NKJV) A Winning Mind is a positive mind. A positive mind sees possibility in all situation even when physically the situation does not look possible. When you think positively, you speak positively, you act positively and you are most likely to get positive result.  In an attempt to be realistic, all some people ever think and say is the negative, no wonder, there are many negative and poor results around. God was positive. Though physically there was darkness, He had light in mind, therefore He spoke light and the result was light. Think positive thoughts. Reflection : What you see is what you say; what you say is what you have.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2Tim.17 (NKJV) A Winning Mind is a sound mind and a sound mind is the will of God for us. A sound mind is a stable mind, a well nourished mind, a healthy mind, a reliable mind, a calm and well balanced mind. It is not troubled by doubt, fear, anxiety or guilt. A sound mind can assimilate, understand comprehend, discern, make good judgement. It is not a lazy or passive mind that waits for others to decide for it. Rather it engages in active reasoning. Do you have a sound mind? Reflection: Sound mind is your right, take it!

A Winning Mind is the plan of God for you. His plan is for you is to have a mind devoid of evil thinking, negative thinking, wicked thinking or fearful thinking; but a mind set unto positive, constructive and productive thinking, to have a mind filled with peace. We have seen that a Winning Mind is not cheap to come by; it takes determination and disipline to develop a Winning Mind. There is the need to train the mind in the right direction.  I believe that as you continue to put to daily practice all we have looked at in the last few weeks  and the days to come, your mind will become a Winning Mind and a Winning Mind will become a lifestyle for you .
