THE POWER OF THE MIND BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI


THE POWER OF THE MIND
BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI


So I saw a story online few days ago whose caption portrayed it was a godly story. I took my time in reading all the episodes. I was just shaking my head in between. The reason been that the story portrayed unforgivingness and all of that. The story didn't end well. I blamed myself for taking my time to read such a thing. Christ wouldn't have taught us to live the way the story ended. 



As I wanted to pray in the night, all the story began to replay in my mind. It was like I was seeing a movie. I began to ruminate about the story and I was just saying to myself the story shouldn't have ended that way. At that point, I began to understand the power of thoughts. It's true I read the story in the afternoon, but it has been stored in my subconscious mind. 



Have you ever retired to bed in the night before and all what you did during the day, the things you read, where you went, the things you said started replaying in your mind again? 



Okay! That's the power of the mind.  When you are done with the activities you did during the day, everything starts replaying in your mind and you wonder why you can't combat it. They can't go by shaking you head. They can't go by strong face. They just stick to you like gums. 



Your thoughts have ways of making you or messing up your mind.  So, the need to be careful of what you digest per time. It is not everything you read, not everything is healthy for your mind. 



That is why those dirty talks you engaged yourself in during the day which you were saying they didn't matter start playing in your mind later in the night. You just can't get rid of them in your thoughts. You seem to be enslaved by them yet you don't know how to get rid of them.



So also is the man who finds himself studying the word through out the day, when he's left alone, he begins to meditate on those things he studied during the day. His soul is at rest, he is at peace. 



Do not think you would see that pornography just for once and never to see it the second time ? It will definitely replay in your mind even when you didn't send it. It will even bring you the details thereby asking you to go feed your eyes with more. 



 Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Philippians 4:8(MSG)



As you go out today, meditate on things that are lovely, read educating and inspiring articles, pray, delve into trustworthy things. That's how you can have a  fulfilled day. That's how you can be living to please God rather than satisfying the lust of the flesh. Make the determination not to engage in unfruitful discussion. Do not feel your mind with garbage.  Make up your mind to be obsessed with God and not with fleshly lusts. I receive strength for you in Jesus name.

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA "When a man constantly feeds on impure substances, he is simply feeding his heart with garbage." Impure thoughts are powerful such that they render you incapacitated in the things of the spirit.  They have a way of captivating your heart and making you see no need for pressing deep into the realities of the spirit.  Those articles you have downloaded and digested can't add any substance of value to you, but would rather take away vital substance from you.  Those disgusting discussions you have engaged yourself in will only impair your vision.  Show me a man who has been feeding his heart with garbage, and I will show you a man who has been held captive by this garbage.  You can't continue to sow impure ideas and expect to reap pure meditation.  A man who engages himself in impure thoughts would only be a stumbling block to his growth.  No wonder you have been entan...

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA Let's start this way!  What is flee? Flee means to run away; to escape. In other words, run for your life.  You think you still need to pray about it when God says flee?  That prayer of yours is foolishness when the word already says flee.  That lady came into your room in the night half naked and you started speaking in tongues. Will tongues chase her out at the moment? What can we call that act of yours, sir?  That man keeps giving you questionable attention, yet you continue to collect gifts from him instead of you to escape for your life.  When you accidentally bump into porn sites and you feel reluctant to leave, what are you supposed to do? Please flee. Don't feed your eyes with evil.  You don't need an audible voice to tell you that you are in danger zone when youthful lust comes knocking at your door.  Flee is the instruction given in the word of God.  D...

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Each time I am home, my sister would always beg me to plait my hair for me and I will be like you can't make my hair  but have seen her make beautiful hair for other people. What's worrying me? Overfamiliarity. I have been very amazed when people give testimony of how a man of God prays for them and they are healed. The wife of the same  man of God is at home sick but due to the unbelief of the wife and the familiarity, she doesn't believe in her husband's prayers and so she will remain in that state.  So many opportunities some of us have missed because we are proving too familiar with our friends. We think since we are close to them, we are closer to opportunities  and we can also misbehave. Some of us will not even ask questions about how they were able to get to that point. We know they are very much ahead of us, instead of us to humble ourselves, we bring ourselves to t...
