Why You Must Guide Your Mind
Text: Proverbs 16:32
“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”
Message
You must guide your mind. Avoid unnecessary conclusions, judgment, outburst and anger.
It is risky to judge anyone by what they say, how they look or their habits alone for character is a very complex phenomenon. Remember, tree grows with no sound but falls with huge noises just as destruction has noise, but creation is quiet.
Take responsibility not to be deceived and if you have, don’t blame yourself. The lies just overtook you in the highway of life. Don’t take it too serious as two people cannot miss out in a liar. Only one is a liar for no man is ever true except when he is alone; at the approach of others magic begins.
Truth is all men are actors in the journey of life. So always watch behind the scene; no defense at the back, for your eyes is not at your back but your front.
Remember that patience is a revealer of secrets. If only you are patient enough, you will see and know enough that will last you a life time.
Also, pregnancy cannot be hidden forever. It is when you wake up to the reality of life that your day begins. So if you are sleeping pretentiously reality will overrule your dreams.
Though personal experience is better, it is many times costly and irreversibly damaging so, watch out on your friends for when your clothes are made of cassava leaves, you don’t take a goat as a friend.”
Though when one’s goat gets missing, the aroma of a neighbor’s soup gets suspicious, it is our duty to keep our goats save and secure for there is no life to live for a goat that is dead. Remember that Men don’t walk around with X-ray machines to see inner beauty, but be certain, a tree produces after her kind.
Are you talked down and suffering from low self esteem. Come out of it. Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tires; If people still use black color for bad luck and white for peace; If people still wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to funerals; As long as those who don’t pay their bills are blacklisted and not ‘whitelisted’… But I don’t care as long as I still use the white tissue paper to wipe my ass! With that only, I will always be very fine.
A person can love you and still cheat, just like we love God and still sin. Do be careful for no man is a saint! It is what they said that you heard but do you know that while what you says control you, it is you that controls the outcome of what you are yet to say. So be in charge of your life for the key is with you and no other person has a duplicate.
It’s better to sit in a bar thinking about God than to sit in a church thinking about beer.
Being kissed does not mean you are loved, ask Jesus about Judas.
Constantly guide your mind. You are worth than you think, so don’t sell your destiny for a pot of porridge.
Proverbs 25:28: “Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.” A word is enough for the wise
