1 Corinthians 2:16 16... we have the mind of Christ.
“Oh dear, my memory is not as good as it used to be. I must
be getting old.” Have you heard that before? Maybe you have
even said it yourself a couple of times! But who says that as
you grow older, you are supposed to forget things?
When the late Reverend Kenneth E Hagin was in his eighties,
he was still healthy and strong. This amazing man of God would
run around the platform as he preached. And those who have
heard him preach would tell you that he had an amazing memory
with which he could recall specific details such as the day of
the week that a specific date fell on and even the time. Even
at that age, the man’s memory was superb!
He once shared how he had started to forget things when he
was in his fifties. He had read a medical journal which said
that every day millions of cells in our brains die. He didn’t
realize it, but those words got into his spirit and he started
to forget things.
So he asked the Lord, “What is happening to me?” And the Lord
said, “You read that article and you believed it.” He repented
and asked the Lord what he should do. The Lord said, “Confess
My Word. My Word says that you have the mind of Christ, and
the mind of Christ never forgets.” He started to confess that
he had the mind of Christ and that was how his memory remained
sharp for the rest of his life.
My friend, the Word of God says that you have the mind of
Christ. The mind of Christ is not old, slow or forgetful! I
don’t care how old you get. You don’t have to become
forgetful. Don’t believe and confess what medical science or
your friends say. Believe and confess the Word of God which
brings life.
The power of life and death is in your tongue. (Proverbs
18:21) So use your tongue for life. Don’t sit around saying,
“I am getting old and forgetful.” Say, “I have the mind of
Christ. My mind is sharp and quick because it is the mind of
Christ!” Believe it, confess it, and see your thinking and
memory live up to it!
