TOPIC: The Battlefield of the Mind – Renewing Your Thoughts in Christ

AUTHOR: MARY LAWRENCE-DOKPESI

SCRIPTURE:

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” -Philippians 4:8

The Battlefield of the Mind – Renewing Your Thoughts in Christ

On this Workers’ Day, let’s remember Philippians 4:8, urging us to focus on what’s true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Amidst our labour, our minds are battlegrounds where doubts and distractions wage war. Renewing our minds in Christ fortifies us against these attacks, empowering us to work with integrity and excellence.

Whether in offices, factories, fields, or homes, our work gains purpose when infused with the principles of Christ. Our labour serves not only our livelihood but also a greater mission of advancing God’s kingdom. With every task, big or small, we have the opportunity to glorify God.

Today, let’s commit to daily renewal, shaping our thoughts in alignment with Christ’s teachings. As we do, our work becomes a testament to His grace and love. Let’s strive to be good workers, reflecting the character of Christ in all we do. Happy Workers’ Day!

What Next?
