Get Rid of Mental Clutter 2

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Pay rapt attention to what God is saying and doing in your life now to increase you and elevate you above your peers and enemies into the rightful position and privileges He ordained for you from the foundation of the world. Therefore, ignore what the devil and his cohorts are doing and focus on what God is doing. Refuse to be emotionally bound or attached to the evil they are speaking by the demons ruling them. People filled with the Holy Spirit of God do not say words which dampen the spirits of other people to make them sad or unhappy or even develop zero to low self esteem. It is the devil who does that and he does it through people who are willing to be his agents of verbal abuse and destruction. Beloved, you are not one of the victims of such people because you are spiritually and mentally empowered by the Word of God and the Spirit of God. Therefore, focus on God and give Him thanks and quality praise for what He is doing in your life. Also, focus on the blessings of God in your life rather than what you think or know the enemy is doing. The enemy will always attempt to clog your mental processes with his lies which God does not allow to see the light of day because God loves you and cares for you. Please read Numbers Chapter 23 verses 19 to 23, Isaiah Chapter 8 verses 9 to 10.

There are people who do not see any good in other people as well as everything around them. They complain about the sun, the moon, the grass, the animals, the water bodies, the government, the media, religious institutions and religious peoples and leaders. Refuse to entertain such people who always have a litany of woes irrespective of who they are. The more attention you pay to a litany of woes, especially from people infested with litanies of woes each time they open their mouths, the more cluttered and clogged your mental processes will be. This is because you will be mentally processing their litanies of woes rather than the faithful promises of God to you in the Bible. I therefore strongly advise that if people do not hang around you to share life transforming information with you, what the Bible refers to as iron sharpening iron, then reconsider spending quality time with them. Life transforming information will move you up the ladder of success while gossip, bad mouthing of other people behind their backs and general complaints will only help to clog your mental processes. Stay away from such discussions and people. You do not need them.

Elevate Your Tastes

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Where you are presently, no matter how seemingly satisfying it is; is a place of transition. You have to keep moving up the ladder, updating yourself spiritually, physically, martially, intellectually, emotionally, financially and materially. You should continue to add color to every area of your life. For instance, you are obligated to dress to match the position and resources God placed at your disposal. A person’s dressence and grooming to a large extent is a reflection of where the person is headed in life. Some cuts and style of clothes reflect rigidity and a refusal to move with the times. Such people are usually stuck in their ways and will not move in any new direction. In some cases, it is as a result of ignorance or lack. Once such people are empowered, they will move in the new direction God wants them to move in.

Be open to fresh unctions, changes from God. Change is a constant and necessary ingredient for progress. Change your methods to match who and where you are. It is time to move up the ladder. Move out of limiting environments, relationships and circumstances at the speed of light. Identify what God does not want you to carry into the new things He is doing in your life. They could be fear, doubt, disempowering relationships, limiting thought patterns, study habits, eating habits, etc. For instance, when experience becomes tradition, it becomes dangerous because experience boxed in becomes bags of limitations.

Therefore, innovate, create and impact through possibility thinking, possibility speaking and possibility implementation to get to the top and stay at the top where you will be celebrated. There is an anointing for staying at the top. Get the anointing, get to the top and remain there. Make your stay at the top permanent. Get there and stay there. Stop coming back to ignorance, obscurity and mediocrity.

One way of making your stay at the top permanent is to expand the time you spend with God. That is the start point for elevating your tastes. Spend more time with God in the closet. Operate a more organized prayer life that should become the norm in your life. A diligent and fervent prayer life on a daily basis that is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God is what you require. Please see James Chapter 5 verses 16 to 18. A fervent prayer life is one of the keys that will improve and elevate your taste. Pray more, study the Bible more, talk less – prophesy when God wants you to and keep quiet when you are not prophesying. Grow spiritually in prayer, word study, praise/worship, evangelism, intercession. As you continue serious and sincere in prayer, be very careful to notice any signs of danger or trouble and give thanks. Be alert, be devoted, have a thankful heart (Colossians Chapter 4 verse 2).
