DETOXIFY YOUR MIND (a reminder)

Where the battle begins and where it ends is in the 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 seek to feed our mind one way or the other and if they persist enougah they reach our soul. There is therefore a 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" Colossians 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 @ the watcher
