Fighting thoughts in your mind

How do you prevent negative thoughts in you mind?


It is funny how one can have good thoughts and also instantly switch to bad thoughts. So what is good thoughts and what is bad thoughts? If we need to determine good and bad thoughts our best and only reference should be the Book of  Life. This will be the best measurement tool that we can utilize in everyday circumstances and situations. Galatians 5:22-24 stipulates clearly the differences. Good thoughts are love, peace,joy etc and bad thoughts are  murder, lust, sexual desires, hatred etc. 

Yes, it is not so easy to know  the differences and to apply it daily. Our minds have the power to control our whole life without realizing it. The key however lies in the fact whether you as an individual will allow your mind to run away with you by formulating negative thought patterns. I have come across many times when my mind just want to control me and before I knew it I was starting to believe the lies. It is a constant fight going on in your mind. You should choose intentionally what to spend your thoughts on. Easier said than done I hear a lot of you saying right now.

Have you ever came from church , experiencing a great time in the presence of the Lord, but as soon as you set your foot outside the church you get into a argument with your son, husband, wife or any family member. How can you not react on a comment or something that triggered you.. OOOOH is this just the devil you might think. Isn't it always what we do?? Giving the devil the fault.

My friend lets be real we have a will of our one.... It  is a battle I'm telling you.If it wasn't for the grace of God we never would be able to fight the situations coming our way which have negativity written all over it. We are made aware in the Bible of the devil roaring like a lion and looking for someone to devour. This simply means we need to be aware and alert otherwise we will fall in the trap of always getting into fights and feeling guilty afterwards.

Choose to dwell on the positive side of your mind. Its a free choice and you are totally in control of choosing to feel miserable the whole time or to enjoy your everyday life!!!!!!

Jy is spesiaal!

Soms wonder jy of jy genoeg is? Of jy mooi genoeg is, slim genoeg is, ryk genoeg is of self invloedryk genoeg is. Dit kan jou dan laat wonder of jy ooit spesiaal genoeg is om te wees waar jy jouself bevind. Tog kan jy nie help dat jy gebore is in die familie wat jy het of dat jy in die dorp, stad is waar jy is. Veral as jong dogter of seun wat nie vir hulle self werk en sorg. Jy is nog afhanklik van ma en pa en soms wil jy so haastig klaar maak met skool om onder hulle sorg weg te beweeg.  Tog as jy wel wegbreek besef jy dat dit maar altyd beter en soms lekkerder by die huis was as wat jy nou op jou eie is. Hier waar jy nou self moet uit haal en wys en verantwoordelikheid moet opneem vir jou eie lewe. As jongmeisie of seun het jy weer ander uitdagings soos bv  wat jy nou eintlik uit die lewe wil hê. Jy scroll op social media en hou ander mense dop en wil dan soos hulle wees of self die goed he wat hulle het. Tog weet jy dat jy dit nie kan beskostig nie. Dan kom die vraag weer....

Dreams can come true

Do you have a dream so bad that you would do anything to achieve it?. Before you can answer this question I would like to know ," how far are you in accomplishing it"? It is fine to have a dream but it is another story to make that dream into a reality. How bad do you want it? We get to realise that it is the things in life that brings value by the small contributions we make towards others.This does not necessarily need to be money or material things but just a smile, compassion or a listening ear will mean the world to those in emotional pain. We all have a part to play in serving one another. It does not only have to be in church but it is actually outside the four walls of church where the real church should happen. You and me being the church to someone.  In doing the things we love and things that make us tick we discover our purpose on earth. We sometimes want things to hit us like thunder to discover our purpose on earth whereas it has been with you the whole time. Ev...

Life-changing investment

In 5 months time it will be 10 years ago when everything changed. I found myself looking for answers in all the wrong places. Partying, drinking and thinking I am having the time of my life. Involved in a relationship that I did not think was important until I realised I'm playing with someone's heart. This time around  it was not just someone who are here for temporary fun but someone who actually saw a future with me. For someone who have been hurt multiple times this was a reality shock and I realise I was on the wrong path. I thought I could play with people's feelings because of the hurt and disappointment in relationships I had in the past and thought  I could do it with anyone and move on. This was truly a reality check for me. The realisation of being on the wrong path drove me to searching for a place where I could go and praise God again. I have drifted slowly and surely away from the house of the Lord since I moved away from home. I have explored the world throug...
