What’s on your mind?

-

Hello, are you good? Yes you! What has been on your mind? Or the question is how has your mind become like this? Well for some, their mind has really become so good and positive. They have grown, healed and become very optimistic about life. They have decided to live their lives with no apology. They have made up their mind to stand up for what they believe in; stand up for what is right, speak up for the voiceless and be very intentional about their life. Oh, I’ll be so glad if that is your story because this is a great perspective to have about life. 

I’ve discovered that IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GUARD OUR MINDS! I mean, I cannot emphasise it enough. 

The mind is something that no one can see but it is so close to us and so loud in silence. I’ve come to observe people that had the best of intentions and goals about life and family come to a place where they cannot handle or cope with their realities because of what they’ve accommodated in their minds for many years. 

It is not rocket science, the saying ‘An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’ is so true. 

If you have nothing good nurturing your mind, the bad and nasty thoughts and ideas will begin to breed in it. 

Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are like seeds, you can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen just by losing the war in their minds! Ok, so you may be asking - how do I nurture my mind with good things? I’m glad you asked! 

I’ll share based on my experience and close observations. I’ve come to realise that I cannot be strong, positive and optimistic about life without God! God is the very source of my life and when I open myself up to his word, he fills me with everything good. I’ve come to realise that I am not miserable in spite of what life has thrown at me. I realised that a lot of people could have been depressed, bitter, angry, feel rejected and so on if they experience some things that I’ve gone through. But in all, I realise that my secret to staying sane, pure, positive and not losing myself is the ability to feed my mind with the truth. I always seek to learn and grow and become a better version of myself because I believe it is possible to become better. 

So, in conclusion, I’ll like to challenge you - open your mind up to the word of God. Seek the truth in God’s word because your life depends on it. No matter what your story is, you will find hope, purpose, life when you renew your mind with God’s word. 

So stay blessed and don’t forget to leave a comment if you have anything to say about this post. 

I love you ❤️!

      Hi, welcome to 2017! It's our year of walking with the Lord, a year you seek God like never before. I believe it's a year we need to go back to the very basics of quality time of fellowship with God. It's a year to make every effort to draw close to God no matter what you're going through.   There's just one little advice we need to adhere to; pls keep king Jesus in your boat this year. There might be storm and heavy wind but Jesus will calm it all because these elements obey him. It's a pleasure to have you take time out to visit my blog.  In here, you'll read articles that are thought provoking and life changing if you're humble enough to learn. So remember to follow this blog so that you can be notified of any future posts. So sit back and invest in yourself as you browse through these pages! Enjoy!!!

What is your identity?

Hello there, this question popped up in my head while I was going through life journey. In this life many things define many people, things like money, family name and inheritance, marital status (does your marriage define you?) becoming a parent (does your children define who you are), the colour of your skin and on and on the list goes. The question is if you're stripped of all of these things, would you still have an identity?

Do men really know what they are getting themselves into when they say they want to get married?

Come on people, let's talk! You know while watching Bisi Olatilo show, I saw people dancing and celebrating as a man and a woman were joined together in holy matrimony! People congratulated them, they both danced and you know during the traditional engagement - they told the man to wave bye bye to all the single ladies! I wish that was easy as it looked!!!! Hmmm! You know from my own experience; if you've ever been privileged to do the traditional engagement you'll discover that everything you do there is symbolical of the virtues you need to embrace in marriage! Think about it! So back to the men - have you discovered that most marriage troubles stem from the man?
