Be carefully of What you feed on
We are what we feed on, if you feed on what is worth, somehow that is what you are going to be made of. whatever you feed on will define who you are whether it is worth or worthless, thats what you become.
God wants those he created those he called children to be truly His children. To be victorious like he is victorious, be holy like he is holy. All this because he created them with love and with wonderful plans, plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11.
The only problem is that often we don't know. In Hosea 4:6 God says that "My people are being destroyed because they don't know me..."
However it is possible to know and to achieve this amazing life that God has for us, though added to the grace He has provided, It requires doing certain things. They are things we do that shape who we are from our thinking, attitude to even the physical appearance.
The scripture says in the book of Proverbs 23:7 For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he!
You know what people see outward or even the definition you can give to yourself at the moment, is most of the time the result of what has happened to your inside man either through hearing things, seeing things or doing things consciously or unconsciously. Just check your attitude, where does it come from? your style of dressing, where did you get it from? Your accent, where did you get it from? how about your skills?
All these things we have or we are, is a result of who we look at, what we have read, what we have watched and what we have listened to. Some of these things can have an emotional impact on you which can be positive or negative and thats where the problem lies, In the end we either triumph or regret.
However it is up to us to decide what to reflect or represent. Making best decisions for our lives requires discipline.
1) You have to say no or yes to certain things. sometimes even without asking anyone, deep inside you, you know what is right and what is wrong, what to do and what to not do. If you check very well it is always clear. Moreover it is good to pray too, just making a short prayer and asking God what is right is always good. In James 1:5 the scriptures says" If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and reproaches not; and it shall be given him. The Lord is on your side.
2) Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.Philippians 4:8
Excise spending time reading and doing things that are helpful, things that can build rather than destroy you, things such as; reading the bible, reading news watching documentaries, learning music, doing sports etc. There is a possibility of things popping up on the internet that can tempt you to read and often you find yourself going astray from what you had started or someone calling you for something out your schedule . Learn to say no to what is not helping or what you din't plan if it is causing harm to your plan.
Listen, watch and try to learn from experienced people and people you consider praiseworthy.
Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. John 5:19
Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children Ephesians 5:1
God bless you!
