“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:2(KJV)
If your mind is not renewed, you will not be able to tell God's perfect will for your life. That's why you have to make out time to study the Word of God. The Bible did not say that Pastors alone should read the Bible. The Bible says in James 1:25, “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.”
Renew your mind. Renewing your mind will help you to be sensitive to God's voice and His leading for your life. It will save you from making many mistakes. For example Kenneth Hagin spent twelve years as a Pastor, but God never called him to Pastor. That means there are Pastors in the ministry today that God never called to pastor. But because they did not ask him for details, neither were they sensitive to know God's will for their lives, they kept going their own way.
The fact that you sense the call of God on your life does not mean that you should just jump up and start a church, and call the church whatever name you like without hearing from God. The Bible says in Philippians 3:18-19, “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)”
When God calls you to do something, it will require self denial. So what are your motives for doing what you do? For instance, the world renowned Evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke has no church, he is a member of the Assemblies of God, Orlando, in Florida. Yet one of his crusades cost millions of dollars. How is he able to save such money? He has known God as his source.
Find out from God what He is telling you to do? Then do it with the right motives and all the supplies you require will be there for you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I ask that as I renew my mind with your Word, let my heart be sensitive to your voice and the leading of Your Spirit to be able to walk in God's perfect will for my life in Jesus Name. Amen.
For further study read:
John 16:13, Acts 11:5-18, Acts 16:6-10.
DOING THE WORD
Always follow the guidance of God's Spirit and not your mind, tradition or worldly thinking in carrying out God's vision for your life.
