What are you magnifying in your mind

 


My question to you today is what are you magnifying or exalting in your  mind? Are you magnifying your inabilities and letting your abilities die, are you magnifying your weaknesses forgetting that you also have strength, are you magnifying negative emotions (e.g anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, fear,envy, jealousy etc.) and not realizing that you  have  control over your mind and therefore the power to choose whatever emotions that you want to. Are you magnifying that group of people that have told you directly or indirectly that they don't want you around them and forgetting the ones  that really care about you. The list goes on and on. What you think or ponder on the most has the ability to shapen your life. The problem with some people is that they think so much about the negative side of life than they do for the positive. For example when they are about to travel they will think more about the probability of having an accident than having a safe trip. This is a typical example of magnifying negative thoughts in your mind. If you can think it they say you can have it. The Bible even says that as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. The mind is a very powerful space where you can either make something great or destroy, that is why you have to be intentional about the thoughts that you magnigfy in your head or in your mind. Every thing you see around like your phone, laptop, clothes etc was someone's idea. It all started from the mind. 

Whenever you are about to engage in a project or any other thing, let the thought of succeeding exalt the possibility of failing or not coming out well, 

when sick or ill, let the thought of recovering exceed the thoughts of feeling worse or even dying

When you wake up in the morning let the thought of that day been a wonderful and blessed day magnify the thoughts of it been a bad day probably because of your previous experiences.

In essence, whatever you choose to do in life, however small or big always magnify the thoughts of sucucceding rather than the possibility of failing. Someone I know use to say and I quote" When you see something you like and don't have the money to buy it, do not say I cant afford it rather say  how can I afford it". Now that is another mindset you can incorporate and magnify in your mind for your finances not thought like "I am a poor", "I can never afford any of this" etc.

The more positive thoughts that dominate your mind, the more of a winner you become in life and the more influence you would be able to make in other people's life.

DO NOT HOLD BACK

  In as much as I believe God places people in our lives by himself, I also believe there is a place of intentionality and effort when it comes to making friends and sustaining friendships and any other type of relationship (even the one we have with our parents) How many friends would you still have if you did not stop communicating? How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt

REJECTION

Rejection is real, it is a deep thing that has eaten into the self esteem of a lot of folks. Although we have different personality types and I have to admit that some people are not moved by Rejection at all but they are some other people who little show of Rejection remains in them and builds up into something that can only be healed by serious therapy sessions of which unfortunately not everyone can afford. Rejection can show up when we get turned down buy our crush after we finally find the courage to ask them out. Fo r the ladies, it might come subtly when the guy you like overlooks you but you see him showing interest to someone else. Rejection can come when you have done every thing possible to fit in with someone/ a group but never felt like you belonged among them. It can come when you think you have finally found a friend that suddenly stops associating with you or a romantic partner who was no longer interested in a relationship with you. Rejection can come when you beli

GOSSIP AND THE CHURCH

Gossiping is not unusual in communities like the market, classroom, salon etc, simply because human beings are the unit of this communities. Something unfortunate happens to a person today and before you know it the whole community is talking about it up to the extent that the person with issue senses that "his or her matter don cast". But can we avoid gossiping in the church as much as possible. The church is supposed to be a safe place where people come to find spiritual healing. It is unfair that some people would cone with  one challenge or the other and the same community of believers that are supposed to help them out would be the same one talking ill about them and destroying their reputation. If your motive is not to help or find solution then there is probably no need for you to share another person's buisness. Y ou might intentionally or unintentionally hear someone issue in your church, whatever the case is, try to keep it to yourself. If you cannot help them
