Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Back in Secondary School, I once overheard my then C.R.S(Christian Religious Studies) teacher tell another teacher with disgust Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was preaching "Psychology", that statement stuck in my mind over the Years, it even made me curious to know who Pastor Chris was then,I didn't know so much about God, but many years down the line I look back and wonder how many people have wrongly understood God's word. The scriptures though spiritual are also psychological. The above scriptural context alludes to this, a man who doesn't have his psychology changed after being born again might not experience the blessings that come with the package of salvation, "the Bible says as a Man thinks so is he", the word of God has its own Psychology, its mental structure, the spiritual angle is settled, but you've got to work on the psychological angle yourself. He says " Be renewed in the spirit of your mind"(Eph4:23). You must begin to process God's word in your mind after salvation, do not conform to the items of the world, replace them with the thoughts of the word, change your psychology, that's the beginning of the experiential knowledge of the benefits of salvation. Its a great day ahead for you friend!
