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.

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms.  Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts.   One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT  A whole lot of things must have been conceived  in your mind before indulging in sex.  That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out.  Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please.  1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is  to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously.  2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall...
