THE MIND OF GOD


THE MIND OF GOD!


1 Corinthians 2:16

For "who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him"? But we have the mind of Christ.

* What does a mind means and what does it signify?

*How do we recognize our own mind

*What does it mean to have the mind of Christ

* How do we come to know the mind of Christ.

*Differences between the Human mind and the mind of Christ.

... FOR WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD

* The mind of a man is likened unto a wall or a board  to which something is being written upon for people to see, recognize and understand.


The mind of humans can be called a slate in which people write their experiences, thoughts, imaginations, encounters, wishes and all they come in contact with in life.

Let me paint a little picture of how a mind looks and how it works.

You see, a MIND is like a white board when teachers write notes, instructions and corrections to work done for pulpils in a class. In the first place, the board is white, nothing is being written not found on it. That's exactly how the mind of a man I'd at birth. ARISTOTLE called the human mind a "blank slate" which has to be written  and filled up with our experiences, encounters and learning as we progress and grow in age and maturity.


So, our mind is a super reflection of what is being written and inscribed on it, meaning that the more things we write on our mind, the more it gets filled, the content is not actually my emphasy today but I just want us to know that the human mind get built and filled through the things you allowed into it.

Now, how do we recognize our own mind? Simple! The same way we've explained what the mind looks and how it works but one thing that is significant to the human mind is that ''IT IS ALWAYS WANTING TO INSTRUCT.


The human mind is fashioned in way such that it projects and sends out information and signals , look at the example of "a white board" being written on as a mind. It is for a projection, for people seeing it to get a message, correction and instructions.

Therefore, the mind is very INSTRUCTIVE, always instructing and would always instruct.

So as Human, we tend to always give out projection be it as a message or an instruction but one thing is that the mind is always 'giving out'


How do we come to know the mind of Christ

I'll start by saying that, to a natural man, there's a natural mind(the mind that is always wanting to project and instruct) and to a supernatural man, there is a supernatural mind(the fashioned, made, projected).


Firstly, the mind of Christ which is also the mind of God is an already made and prepared in such a way that men who are connected to this man Christ authomatically  knows His mind because there is a connection between the men and the mind of Christ. That's why I said earlier that " to a supernatural man, there is a supernatural mind.

How do we know the mind of Christ?

We know the mind of Christ in knowing the difference between the human(natural) mind  and the supernatural mind which is the mind if Christ and this will lead us to Knowing the difference between the human mind  and Christ's mind


* The human mind is always natural while the mind of Christ is supernatural, it's always a constant

* The human mind is always hasty to project, give out and instruct but the mind of Christ is an already made mind, well projected  for those who can see and recognize it.

We basically know the mind  of Christ when we have the mind of Christ. How?

1 Corinthians 2:14~ But the natural man does not receive (cannot see, recognize, understand and comprehend) the things of the spirit (the supernatural things) of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned( searched out) why can't a natural man receive the things of the spirit? Because they are spiritually discerned and the human mind is always projecting, giving out but the supernatural mind{the mind of christ} searches out, discerns and fathoms what the mind of God is.

For"who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct  Him?"BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST🙌🏽

DO YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST?
