"MINDLESS CHRISTIANITY"

REFERENCE: Romans 8:1-6, Romans 13:11-14, Romans 12:1-2, Phil. 4:8
“Mindless Christianity” is the kind of Christianity based on the premise or practice of the law and not on the “transformation” of the mind of the spirit. Of a truth, any form of Christianity without the deliberate and decisive transformation of the mind of the spirit would produce babies.
No believer can become like Christ through the practice of rules and regulations of the law but by the change of the mind of the spirit. For instance no believer can actually stop fornicating or other manifestations of carnality until the mind of the spirit is transformed.
You don’t become the law you actually practice but become like Christ in what you predominantly think about.
“Mindless Christianity” is the kind of Christianity based on the observation of laws without the commensurate transformation from within.  Loads of believers have practiced the observation of the Ten Commandments and it has not brought any meaningful change in their lives.
You can only become like Christ in the mind of your spirit; that is, when you start thinking like Christ, thereby producing the character and behaviour of Jesus. Any form of Christianity outside the transformation of the mind of the spirit would best produced carnality.
It must therefore dawn in our minds that God’s word is the “mind of God.” Therefore, if you want to become like Him, your predominant thoughts must be God’s word. The strength of the spirit is in the development of the mind of the spirit. Your spirit is incapacitated without the development of the mind of your spirit.
You cripple the effect of God’s nature in you without developing the mind of your spirit. Also, “mindless Christianity” is living by assumption to practicing the things of the spirit.
Becoming like Christ means living the life of Christ until it becomes visible for others to recognize and value. It does not mean you don’t have God’s life in you, but you have not given the mind of your spirit to the required transformation.
CONSEQUENCES
SELF-CONTRADICTION: This is another word for hypocrisy. It means behaving who you are not. It also means living without a balance or living on double standard. If the mind of your spirit is not transformed self-contradiction becomes your lot. This also means living without integrity; compromising God’s standard in different spheres of life.

INSENSITIVITY: This is the inability to discern times and changing seasons in life and destiny. An insensitive believer cannot be led, guided and mentored by the Spirit of God. Therefore, the believer falls prey to the enemy and may live perpetually in captivity.

SIN-COLONIZATION: Without the transformation of the mind the life of a man is kept under the dominion of sin and filled with all manner of darkness. Every believer has the potential power to dominate the expression carnality but would be incapacitated without the transformation of the mind.

DORMANCY: This is the inability to explore the fruit and the power of the Spirit. You must understand that in you is the fruit and capacity of the Spirit. 

STUNTEDNESS: This is placing a limit to the experience a believer could have with God in increasing dimensions. It takes experiencing God to enter into new opportunities, to break new grounds in marriage, in business, and in all other areas of life.
Till I come your way again, pay attention to your thoughts and your destiny will take a drastic turn in Jesus name. God bless you.
