DETOXIFY YOUR MIND

DETOXIFY YOUR MIND

Where the battle begins and where it ends . . . the mind

Proverbs 4:23
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

We know we live in a world where we do not have total control over all that happens. Information is communicated to us through many sources consciously or unconsciously through

* tele media
* social media
* radio
* paper media
* friends
* colleagues
* family
* employer/employee
* government and their officials
* people we come in contact with casually
* religious leaders
* lecturers/teachers/facilitators

all these sources all seek to feed our mind one way or the other and if they persist enough they reach our soul.

There is therefore need time and again to "purge"

The same way we gather up a lot of unwanted substances in our feeding toxic in different degrees. We need to keep detoxifying our system now and again to save us from the negative effects of those unwanted substances.

The mind also need to be detoxified of
* evil thoughts
* unforgiveness
* hatred
* envy
* pride
* selfishness
* contentiousness
* unbelief
* lies
* sexual immorality
* fear
* laziness

Colossians 3:5
 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

The bible says we should kill these toxins, pass them out.

How?

"please read patiently"

 Cololoians 3:2, 10-17
 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering
 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must
 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection
 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

The Holy Spirit is always there to help us as we continue to yield to Him.

God bless you.

Do have a lovely week ahead.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
