Love self : our thoughts

Love self : our thoughts
Hurtful or helpful

By pastor Calvin lee

How's your mind?

Huge truth about computer (GIGO : garbage in garbage out)

Ralph Waldo Emerson
beware of what you set your heart upon for it shall surely be yours

If you think ...
you will .....

Philippians 4:8-9
Paul is not talking about positive thinking in this verse because positive thinking will not leads you to heaven.

V8 :
is it true
Is it noble
Is it right
Is it pure
Is it lovely
Is it admirable
Is it praiseworthy
Is it excellent

How can we strengthen our thoughts?
. Ponder on v8
. Practice (v9)
. Pray (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
An attitude of worthlessness
. I stink
. No peace with self

An attitude of lovelessness
. You stink
. No peace with others

An attitude of bitterness
. Life stink
. No peace with God

Practice how we think daily. The way we are thinking is important because what we think, say and do has great great impact in our lives. We need to not only adjust but we need to align our thinking with the word of God and meditate on the word.

Joshua 1

The way we think affect interpersonal relationship. The devil wants our mind to be like rubbish dump. Do you want him to succeed?

We need the :
▪ discipline of the mind
▪ discipleship of the mind

John 16:33
Peace is not found in meditation, relationship, security of jobs, bank account etc. Peace is only found in the Person of Jesus Christ.

If you accept a belief, you reap a thought
If you sow a thought, you reap an attitude
If you sow an attitude, you reap an action
If you sow an action, you reap a habit
If you sow a habit, you reap a character
If you sow a character, you reap a destiny
