Christian faith, in its very essence, is transformation of a person in their roots after born again, as the Holy Spirit enters in him working supernaturally inside which eventually resulting in one having Lord supreme in his life. When genuine transformation take place incrementally in a believer, the mind of Christ seeds into him gradually and progressively. One cannot imitate the mind of Christ and force himself to live by it. He will lose strength to do so and fail to see how God is supremely in - charge of his living. Instead, it is purely by the grace of God that works supernaturally and mundanely in our every day lives can one receive the mind of Christ. As we confirm it through deep meticulous prayers with the Word, the total submission to God that ensue embeds great power of Holy Spirit, ceaselessly demolishing your old self and restore the mind of Christ within you. "the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace" --Colossians 1:5-6

We humans tend to trust our eyes, hearts and wisdom, and seek our own benefit, more than trust God and seek His glory. Thus, God sometimes leads us to certain situations where it is clear that we cannot depend on ourselves, so that we will be driven to trust and acknowledge Him. Indeed, when faced with spiritual warfare and the bondage of sin, the one whom we need most is Jesus, because He is our Great King-Priest. By faith in Him, we can win the spiritual battle and be freed from the condemnation of sin. And because God is Provider of everything we owe, it is only right that we dedicate our lives and what we have for His use and glory. When we trust and acknowledge God first, above all else, we will see God’s blessed evidences in our lives.

Verses to Read: <Genesis 14:8-24>

1. Believers will be involved in WARFARE.

1) Within and without.

2) Sometimes not for ourselves, but our loved ones.

3) Impossible to win >>> fight by FAITH.

Not a “waiting faith”.
Abram gave God the full credit and trust, as if he could not achieve anything on his own; BUT he also did everything he could, as if all depended upon his faithfulness (to obey God).

4) Nothing is random; even problem is fulfilment of promise.

2. A critical test: WEALTH.

1) Abram passed because he received “financial healing”.

2) No financial healing, no financial blessing.

“Greedy Lack”.
“Relative Lack”.
“Wasteful Lack”.

3) Tithing

Declaration of faith.
Dedication of self.
Means to fulfill gospel work.

3. “Melchizedek”: KING-PRIEST.

Prefigures CHRIST.
Christ: The Superior Priest.
Won’t die, forever can intercede for us.
Once and for all, instead of repeated sacrifices.
Guarantor of a better covenant.
Comes to meet us too, with bread and wine: Nourish. Comfort. Bless.

Reflection:

Do you see yourself as actively or involuntarily engaged in spiritual warfare? Are you having a “waiting faith”, or how have you been doing your part in fighting this battle?
How much financial healing do you think you have received? Any struggles or testimonies in this area (finances and tithing)?
In dealing with warfare and sin, how have you seen the help of the King-Priest Jesus in your life?
