April 27, 2019 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - Take control of your mind

- , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Take control of your mind

27 APRIL 2019
‘Whatever things are true…noble…just…pure…lovely… of good report…meditate on these things.’
Philippians 4:8 NKJV
The old saying goes: ‘An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’ The Bible says, ‘Then Satan entered Judas…So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them’ (Luke 22:3-4 NKJV). It seems Judas was constantly preoccupied with money, and Satan exploited it to his destruction. 

During the three years that Judas followed Jesus, he heard Him repeatedly warn about the danger of loving money, but he failed to get the message. Your mind never stops working and if you don’t take control of it, it will take control of you. Paul writes: ‘Whatsoever things are true…noble…just…pure…lovely…of good report…if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.’ What you become – is a direct result of what your mind dwells on. 
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, ‘Life consists of what a man [or woman] is thinking about all day.’ John Locke said, ‘The actions of men [or women] are the greatest interpreters of their thoughts.’ James Allen said, ‘You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.’ 
This is why the apostle Peter warns us to ‘prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control’ (1 Peter 1:13 NLT). It’s why the psalmist wrote: ‘Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me…Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer’ (Psalm 19:13-14 NKJV). Note the words ‘meditation of my heart’. The word for you today is: take control of your mind.
1 Samuel 15-16, John 11:30-57
