TIME TO DETOXIFY YOUR MIND

-

Proverbs 4:23

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


The battle begins and ends is in the the mind!


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 

etc.


All these sources seek to feed our mind one way or the other and if they persist enough, 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 

* non-forgiveness 

* hatred 

* envy 

* pride 

* selfishness 

* contentiousness 

* unbelief 

* lies 

* sexual immorality 

* fear 

* laziness 

etc


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. 


Remember the essence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.


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


Unburden yourself from these heavy yoke, be light for the journey through this life.


Matthew 11:28-30

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”


Oh help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
