11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 1 Corinthians 2:11-12

facts. The truth still remains that if mortal men know how to create spare parts for cars, electrical appliances, etc., which they produced from the vast wisdom God has made available to them, then, your Father, Who is the Creator of the universe can and will create spare parts for your body because He does creative miracles.

One unfortunate fact is that a lot of Christians are so used to believing the facts that they see and feel rather than believe the truth of the Word of God. They are not used to supernatural thinking because they are so used to thinking naturally and carnally. As a believer, you must live a life beyond the ordinary. You must be conscious of and acknowledge what is inside of you: Zoë - God’s kind of life, His

every thing that comes from you must be with an inability to cheat or lie. At all times, all that you do must be sincere without any inclination to deceive another person. This is a very important character for a believer to possess, a life of integrity and wholeness.

Just means not partial, not biased, always ready to give what is due. As a Christian, you do not take what rightfully belongs to one and give it to another because you like that person more than the other. Whatsoever you do has to be based on what is right and fair. So, in all you do, meditate on doing what is right always and that is when you will act it out.

Lovely means anything that is beautiful, delightful and attractive. So, whatsoever things are lovely, delightful and attractive, meditate on them. I strongly believe that this is a good antidote for depression.

When you think on things that are lovely, you will have no room for depression and disappointments as a believer.

Thinking on the things that are of good report prevents you from getting involved in the things that have evil report. Good report does not in anyway look nor sound like an evil report. Let’s assume you want to get into a business with another
