THE LIES WE BELIEVE

THE LIES WE BELIEVE.

Do you ever have certain thoughts that play over and over in your mind like an old broken record?

Have you ever struggled to believe in yourself?

Have you ever had a thought come to your mind that produces a physical feeling in your body, such as a pain in your heart, tightness in your throat, tears in your eyes, deep sadness within you?

Thoughts like;

“Everything sucks.”

“I am worthless.”

“Nobody loves me.”

“I'm not just good at anything.”

“I'm all alone in this wicked world.”

“Why did God have to abandon me?”

“Why am I permitted to suffer this much?”

“God is not proud of me.”

“I'm not a good writer, that's why nobody wants to engage on my posts.”

“Why the pains?”

“Why the traumas?”

“I'm too dark, maybe I should use whitening cream so I'll look more fair.”

“ I don't have figure 8 shape, let me do BBL.”

“ Does God really care about me?”

“My friends are married, I'm the only one single.”

Suicidal thoughts!

Thoughts that birth depression!

Thoughts that have never profited mankind since the beginning.

One thing I want you to realize is that there's a waging war currently happening, and the location is your mind.

Battlefield of the mind.

That's the ongoing war.

There's a battle.

There's a location.

It's the battle of your soul.

And the location is your mind.

Do you know why?

It's because ANYTHING THAT AFFECTS YOUR MIND IS CAPABLE OF TRUNCATING YOUR DESTINY.

Your mind is the greatest recipient in either making or maring your destiny.

Now that you know the battle going on, what do you do?

🎗You have a choice: You can either choose to fuel the raging war or extinguish the fire.

It all starts from your choice.

That's one power the Lord has given to each and every one of us.

The power of choice.

When you choose to say “yes” unknowingly to thoughts that are not helping your life, there's great joy in the Kingdom of darkness.

But when you say “no” to negative thoughts, the devil roars in anger.

So you have a choice to make.

Do you want the devil to steal your peace through negative thoughts?

Or do you want to be completely free from his tactics?

🎗Do you know your God? If you don't have an intimate relationship with God, I'm sorry to let you know that the devil will keep stealing your joy.

Christ is the only one that can give you life, abundance life.

So you have a choice.

Either to accept him totally by making him the Lord of your soul or not.

🎗 Thanksgiving: If there's anything the devil hates with so much passion, it's when a believer gives thanks to God wholeheartedly.

Thanksgiving wreaks havoc to the Kingdom of darkness.

Thanksgiving is you saying ‘Lord, I decide to trust in you completely’.

Thanksgiving is total trust in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving is life.

Thanksgiving means saying “yes” to God and “no” to the devil.

Oh, the power of thanksgiving.

Give thanks always.

🎗 Positive affirmations: What do you say to yourself daily?

The words you speak into your life on a daily basis matters a lot.

Instead of “I'm not good at anything”, why not say “ I don't know this thing now, but I'm willing to learn and know it.”

Do you see the difference?

“I'm not a good writer, that's why no one engages in my post”, why not say “ I'm willing to grow to become an excellent writer whose validation is not in man.”

Do you see how powerful words are in shaping your destiny?

What are those lies you've once believed about yourself?

Kindly do well to share with us, and tell us how you overcame them.

Till I write again,

Take care.
