Daily Scripture Threshing for Wednesday, December 23, 2020


Today’s Text: Philippians 2:1-13


Key Verses: Philippians 2:5 (KJV) — “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Some Christians may be likened to the French chickens that sounded like quails. I once read a story of certain French scientists that succeeded in causing some chickens to sound like quails. They researchd into the tissues in quails’ brain responsible for sounds, and implanted it in the brains of their sample chicken embryos. They succeeded in causing the hatched chicks to sound like quail rather than chickens; unfortunately, the chicks grew up like chickens siunding like quails. Believers in Christ must let the mind of Christ, not just verstness in scriptural quotation or speaking as Christians or church people, be in us. Otherwise we would be like the quail-chicks that failed to be quails and failed to be chickens.

When we come to Christ, God implants and inputs His mind (i.e. of Christ) in us. The Spirit of God has taken up residence within us (1 Corinthians 2:12). We therefore carry something deeper than tissues. We have in us the very Spirit of the living God. That is what the Apostle is saying here. We are now left with a choice either to let it be (i.e. to allow such nature of Christ in us) or not. We must not be like the quail-chickens, which bore the appearance of, and lived the life of chickens but gave out the sound of quails. We have been so blessed to have had God work some deep mysteries into us; and we have such incredible capacity for divine wisdom, humility, love and peace that our natural instinct could never avail us. Therefore, let us all work out what God already worked in us. Let us allow the mind of Christ to be our replacement or implanted tissue. This will enables us to see and live life in totally different and Godly perspective.


Quote for the Day: “Unselfish devotion to the course, cause and life of Christ and those of others is what the mind of Chrisik lastoks like.” (Simon Olatunji)


Prayer: Dear Lord, please help.me to have have the mind of Christ in every situation I find myself, in Jesus name. Amen.


With all my love and prayers,
