THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT

-

Our minds are very powerful. Whatever we feed our minds with has the capacity to grow, develop strong roots, and produce fruits (or results). 

This bible verse in the book of Proverbs, reminded me of how important it is for us to pay attention to our thought patterns, and what we allow to stay in our minds. “Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”(Pro 4:23)
Since the Bible tells us to guard our heart, (or our mind) diligently, then it shows how much influence it can exert on our lives.

Our minds should not be a fertile soil for negative thinking. In other words, we should not give room for negative or unhealthy thoughts to grow. Most times, these thoughts put fear, discouragement in our hearts. And in the long run, affect the quality of our lives and can make us live below our true potentials. 

I must say that what you say consistently has a powerful effect on your mind. Confessing God’s word from time to time, goes a long way in dealing with negative thoughts. Believe every word as you confess it. 

Don't try to deal with those thoughts without saying anything. You can't 'beat' negative thoughts out of your mind with thoughts, you deal with those thoughts with words. 

One important thing to note is that diligence is a combination of carefulness, responsibility, and putting the appropriate effort. So, as we guard our hearts by renewing our minds with God's word regularly, we are also careful of the kind of people and things we expose ourselves to.

You can't effectively deal with unhealthy thoughts, and continuously expose yourself to people and things that do not enhance the quality of your mind. Understand yourself and avoid things that strengthens any form of negativity in your mind. 

And yes, I mentioned this in my previous post, and it cannot be overemphasized. Please, stay away from people who always spread negative energy. Listening to negative words all the time can poison your mind and dampen your confidence.
Surround yourself with people that will encourage and inspire you to be better.

As Joyce Meyer puts it, you cannot have a negative mind and a positive life. This only emphasizes the importance of consciously building a positive mindset in line with God's word, in that it influences our actions and decisions. 

Stay positive.

With so much love,

I invite you today to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, if you have not. He loves you. And he wants you to radiate beauty and fulfill purpose. All you have to do is believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that God raised him from the dead to give you eternal life. Say this with me.

"Lord Jesus, I come before you today. I believe and confess that you died for me and rose again to give me eternal life. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for forgiving my sin. Thank you for saving me. I am born again. I am saved. I am a child of God in Jesus name, Amen."

If you said this short prayer, congratulations! You are a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Please send me a message. I will be glad to talk and pray with you.😊

AMPLIFY YOUR STRENGTHS!

-
It is true that every human is blessed with certain gifts, strengths, unique abilities and is created for a purpose. In fact, we hear it again and again through the numerous seminars, conferences and teachings that we have attended (and will still attend), that we all have strengths and potentials that are peculiar to each of us. It is one thing to hear and know that we have all of these within us; it is something entirely different for our eyes to be opened to them. Some of us have entered into the room of self-discovery and are beginning to find out some interesting things about ourselves. Yet, quite a number of us do not see our strengths and have concluded that we carry nothing special. So, we begin to think that probably God did not give gifts to everyone afterall.  I have been there myself, and I know how frustrating that can be. We give so much time to looking at what others can do well and give little or no attention to the things we can do effortlessly. Our strengths lie i...

MY JOURNEY (1)

-
I left the examination hall that afternoon with so much anxiety. I just hoped that everything would eventually turn out fine. The aggregate score of each candidate for the examination would be sent via a text message the next morning.  Those who knew me well, understood that I never joked with having a good sleep. But this time, I kept rolling from one end of the bed to the other as it was quite difficult for me to sleep. All that went through my head were thoughts of what I would score in the examination.  At exactly 7am, my phone vibrated as it would when a text message was delivered. I was so certain that it was the message containing the result. I rushed to pick up my phone on the table beside the bed, and there it was. “Recharge N400 and get up to N1000 worth of airtime. Dial bla bla bla…” I did not bother to read the rest of the message. I was waiting to receive a message from JAMB not some mobile network. I let out a long hiss as  I dropped the phone on the bed i...

THAT IT APPEARS GOOD DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT

-
It's my first post of the year, and I'm glad I get to give you this as my little birthday gift! I appreciate the love showered on me on my birthday yesterday. I'm grateful for you! If you are new here, welcome!😊 Let's get right into it! . . . Now, God is ever willing to lead us aright. And this is why he has given us the Holy Spirit to dwell in us. See what Jesus says here in John 14:16‭-‬17 (EASY) 👇 "I will ask the Father to help you with this. He will send another Helper to be with you. That Helper will stay with you always. He is God's Spirit, and he shows you what is true...." The Holy Spirit shows us what is true. But sometimes we do not enquire to know the mind of God concerning certain situations. We depend on what we think is the right way. That it appears good does not make it right.  That's why the Bible tells us not to lean on our understanding. See👇 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all...
