How To Develop The Mind Of Christ Pt.4 - Pastor Rabeeh | 09.09.26

Okay, so can we go to Titus chapter two? Uh, sorry, Titus, Titus chapter 2 verse one, uh, verse eight.

I'll quickly show you this.

It's a powerful teaching, actually, how the Lord allowed me to put it together.

It's very powerful.

So here, he was giving instructions.

Paul was giving instructions about what a bishop looks like or an overseer.

In this context of scripture, he's talking about an elder.

So here, he's talking about here that this person must be sober-minded.

So this is one of the mindsets that qualifies you, uh, to enter into responsibility as a, as someone who has influence, yes? But I wanna share something more powerful.

I love to go deep, yes? I'm a person since the beginning, uh, humbly saying I love to go deep.

I love to understand the enemy of a sober mind because I always talk about what it means to have a sober mind.

I also talk about what's the opposite of a sober mind.

So you can begin to recognize if there are traces of that inside of you.

Are we ready? Okay.

Let's go to 1 Peter chapter 1, verse 13 to 15.

Now, the Holy Spirit, how He got me to put it together is very powerful.

And I wanna share with you what caught my eye straight away.

And I have never shared about this, but it's very powerful.

And in 1 Peter chapter 1, verse 13 to 15, [clears throat] he says, "In order for you to be sober, you have to gird up your loins or gird up the loins of your mind." We can all see that, right? He says here, "Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." Now, I wanted to do some digging.

I wanted to find out what analogy is Peter speaking about.

We first see it in Titus.

Paul speaks about it, "Be sober-minded." This is the qualification for an elder.

And it says here to gird up the loins of your mind and be sober.

So in order for you to be sober, you have to gird up your loins.

Let's have a look at the phrase.
