DAY 11: Thoughts of pride

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed... pride...Mk7:21-22 (NKJV)
Proud looks, proud thoughts, and evil actions are sin. Prov.21:4 (NCV)

Pride is a thought of the mind that is manifested in words and action. Pride is being full of self-thought. Thoughts about you, only you and always you. You are always right and no one else is as good as you. You know it all and no one else knows anything.
 A proud mind is not a teachable mind as it cannot learn from others. The proud man sees only himself and does not see the man warning him of a pit ahead, so he falls into the pit. Indeed,  pride goes before a fall.

Reflection: Stop thinking too highly of yourself, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God 1Pet.5:6

Day 27: A positive mind

The earth was without form, and void; and darkness  was [ a ]  on the face of the deep...T hen God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. Gen.1:2-3 (NKJV) A Winning Mind is a positive mind. A positive mind sees possibility in all situation even when physically the situation does not look possible. When you think positively, you speak positively, you act positively and you are most likely to get positive result.  In an attempt to be realistic, all some people ever think and say is the negative, no wonder, there are many negative and poor results around. God was positive. Though physically there was darkness, He had light in mind, therefore He spoke light and the result was light. Think positive thoughts. Reflection : What you see is what you say; what you say is what you have.

And Jesus said,   “The things that come out of people are the things that make them unclean.   All these evil things begin inside people, in the mind: evil thoughts, sexual sins, stealing, murder, adultery,   greed, evil actions, lying, doing sinful things, jealousy, speaking evil of others, pride, and foolish living.   All these evil things come from inside and make people unclean.” Mark 7:20-23 (NCV) A lot of people have left their thoughts loose over a long period of time and have allowed their thoughts to lead them to life of defeat. If this is you, you can choose to change your thinking, you can choose to have a Winning Mind rather than a defeated mind.  The first step towards a Winning Mind is the purging of the mind of all defeating thought. Hence, engage in a mind fast. A  fast is not done by accident, it requires conscious effort.  A mind fast is a conscious effort to starve your mind of any thought that is evil, filthy, covetous, anxious,...
