Day 13: Meditation



This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth but thou shall meditate on it day and night. Josh1:8 (NKJV)


Meditation is a deeper form of thinking. It is extended thinking, continuous thinking or in-depth thinking. To meditate is to ponder over issues, reflect over matters, to keep an idea in continuous focus on your mind. Meditation helps your concentration. Meditation brings clarity. Meditation is a way of feeding the mind.

We are commanded to meditate on the Word of God. Unconsciously, people meditate on negative things such as negative words spoken to them by other people or on negative experiences and occurrences. When you meditate, your meditation must on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy.




Reflection: Healthy meditation nourishes the mind.

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.

MIND FAST

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,...
