MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 25 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Healing for the Overcharged Heart (II)
TOPIC: Healing for the Overcharged Heart (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 25 December 2018)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:8-9
MEMORY VERSE: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” – Proverbs 23:7
The MESSAGE:
Peace is a function of the heart and the mind. Wrong thinking leads to wrong feelings. We must realise that thoughts are real and powerful, though they cannot be seen, weighed or measured. When you sow a thought, you will reap an action. Your thoughts shape your life, vision and destiny. Joseph kept the thoughts of his good dreams alive and it eventually came to pass despite the efforts of his brothers to kill his dreams.
As Christians, we must be able to cast down evil imaginations and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of God and then bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). This must happen in your inner mind to win the greatest war against your soul. It is after this that you can engage in right thinking. In our study today, Paul spells out in detail the things we ought to think about as Christians.
The first category consists of things that are true. Research on worry shows that only eight (8) percent of the things people worry about were legitimate matters of concern while the other 92 percent were either imaginary, never happened, or involved matters over which the people had no control anyway. Satan wants to corrupt our minds with his lies, but the Holy Spirit controls our minds through His truth (John 17:17; 1 John 5:6). Check if your thoughts are in harmony with the word of God. The second category are things that are honest and just. This means “worthy of respect and right”. There are many things that are not respectable and Christians should not think about such things. This does not mean we hide our heads in the sand and avoid what is unpleasant and displeasing, but it does mean we do not focus our attention on dishonourable things and permit them to control our thoughts. Check if your thoughts are decent, honourable, righteous and Christ-like. The third category are the things that are pure, lovely and of good report. The believer must major on the high and noble thoughts and not the base thoughts of hatred and evil which are found in this corrupt world. The last category are things that possess virtue and praise. If it has virtue, it will motivate us to do better; and if it has praise, it is worth commending to others.
No Christian can afford to waste “mind power” on thoughts that would tear him down or that would tear others down if these thoughts were to be shared. Right thinking comes as a result of daily meditation on the word of God. The Christian who fills his heart and mind with God’s word will have “built-in radar” for detecting wrong thoughts. John 14:26-27 says: “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” May the Comforter come into your heart today and heal your overcharged heart, in Jesus’ name.
