TRANSFORMED MINDSET

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ephesians 4-6

TEXT:  John 4:28-42

28 The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,

29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 

30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”

34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 

36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 

37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 

38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.” 

40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 

41 And many more believed because of His own word.

42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed [a]the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

 

 

 

 

KEY VERSE:

“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” -  John 4:35

 

 

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

The best mindset is a product of a mind set in Christ.

 

 

THE MESSAGE:                                                                                        

Mindset is a habitual mental attitude that determines how a person interprets and responds to situations. Our mindset therefore affects our perception of things around us, what is urgent and important and what our response should be. The fog of socio-cultural background has the ability to set our mind on a tangent of biased perception. For instance, Apostle Peter’s initial reluctance to visit and minister to Cornelius’ household because of Jewish traditions.

 

Christ’s disciples had gone into the city to buy necessary victuals and had left Him tired and hungry. On returning, they met Him discussing with a Samaritan woman. Looking askance to one another, they questioned if someone had brought Him some meal. Christ knew they had missed the whole episode of witnessing and bringing the woman into the Kingdom. For Him, doing the will of God, which is seeking and saving the lost, gives Him great joy. He then directed them to look aright and see what He was seeing: ready souls waiting for harvest.

 

As we traverse the cities daily, do we see men as incorrigible sinners or as never dying souls created by God? If the world does not care about them, we should.

 

To be of help to them, our minds must be renewed through genuine salvation and steady study of God’s word. That is the only way we can see what He shows, hear what He says and do His perfect will.
