A Godly Mind (Part Two) | Lord’s Day Sermon | 21st April, 2024 | Pastor Adeola Ogundele

Satan is at work every single day to try and lead you away from God. He seeks to drive the vehicle of your will power, looking to control and influence your thoughts so that he controls your actions or lack of them. When your thoughts are not controlled by God, they're invariably controlled by Satan. In Philippians 4:17-18, the apostle Paul speaks to the state of a mind that's not controlled by God. It is unfruitful. Scripture is replete with demands and admonitions for Christians to employ their minds in considering the things that God requires of us. God demands for us to use our minds as the foundation of our communication and interaction with him. A Christianity that does not promote the act of reason, of examination, of logic, of careful thought, is a false and disingenuous Christianity. Building from the first part of this series, our pastor panned his thoughts towards showing us that the bedrock of all our sins is our mind. Christian warfare essentially begins in the mind. When our finds have become so fortified that Satan finds it impossible to penetrate it, then we can enjoy the life transforming power of God.
