Best selling Author and Co-Founder of Valuecycle, Evans Kwesi Mensah has stated how one can use their mind productively to obey Christ.
He believes without the mind, one does not exist because the mind is the engine of the body, “and for us to receive what God communicates to us, we have to open our minds and be ready to receive.”
“Just like a car cannot move without an engine, the body can also not operate without the mind because every other part of our body is robotically connected to our mind.”
Talking about how to use our minds productively with Paul Anomah Kordieh on e.TV Ghana’s Christian Connect Show, he said, “You need to be available. You have to avail yourself and give yourself the opportunity to communicate to God and allow God to communicate back to us.”
He stated that sometimes we talk and complain so much we do not even get the chance to listen to God when he speaks.
“Sometimes we speak too much whiles talking and praying. You don’t just go to your father to say whatever you have to say and leave. You have to allow a space of silence to also listen to what your father has to say to you,” he said.
He believes that God can talk to us anywhere, through anyone and at anytime hence, the need to also set our gaze on him and not think or talk about what only matters to us.
“We sometimes talk too much that God doesn’t even get the space to talk back to us. If we stop doing this, our minds will be occupied by the will of God for us to do what we have to do,” he shared.
