Who Are You Listening To?

One thing we can't change is the fact that man was made to be ruled by words.  Every decision you make, words you speak, things you do are based on the words that govern your life. Who you been listening to?  Remember Adam and Eve, when they disobeyed God and hid themselves from God in the garden because they found out they were naked; God asked Adam, "who told thee you were naked..?" Genesis 3:11.  God knew He made man to be ruled by words, so someone must have told Adam he was naked, since God didn't tell them, then who did. Who you been listening to?

Proverbs 23:7, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.."   Your life is directed by your thoughts, people just don't wake up and decide to commit suicide or kill other people, or rob them etc. They must have premeditated on such thoughts or been brain washed.  Instead of thinking negative thoughts, you might as well direct your mind to positive things and more importantly, to God's Word which is life and spirit. (John 6:63)
"Romans 12:2, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."  Going to church on Sundays is not enough, we must study the Word personally and let it occupy your thoughts.  The power to cast down negative thoughts from your mind is by meditating on the Word of God. (2 Corinthians 10:4-6).....No wonder the Bible says "Guard your hearts more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it" Proverbs 4:23.

It is so easy to get carried away with thoughts that don't glorify God. You pick them from News, colleagues, relatives, even from the devil through your mind.  Thoughts of fear, condemnation, poverty, sickness etc they don't glorify God..but you can change them by redirecting your mind to think only good thoughts. God said it can be done..Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

  1. So I realised each time I opened a particular page on the Internet, there would always be a tragic news being reported. I stopped opening the page. These things have a way of leaving a residue in our minds which the devil likes to thrive on . Wisdom is profitable to direct!.
    Thanks much for this piece

    1. Thanks for the suggestion...I thought of doing that earlier when I started the blog, now that you mentioned it, I will start doing so. If I find any nice picture relating to my topic, I will upload. The important thing is to pass the message across as the Holy Spirit gives us the revelation. God bless you much and your comment is highly appreciated.
