Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(16th April, 2024)*

by Sunday Akanni

TOPIC: How Is Your Thought-Life? (Part 2)
‭‭‭‭
I Samuel 16:14 ‬
But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the Lord troubled him.

*Message*

When a person begins to think differently, they begin to feel differently. If you can get a person to begin to cultivate only positive thoughts irrespective of what's happening outside, they will easily become a positive person.

Different people have to deal with negative thoughts at different points. However, you will do yourself a lot of good to be vehemently strong and discipline yourself well enough to ensure negative thoughts don't become a pattern inside of you. Negative thoughts have the capacity to grow, weakening you slowly like a terrible poison, until you become its broken slave.

*To be a genuinely healthy person, you have to be strong enough to take captive any negative thoughts and bring them into obedience to Christ (how Christ thinks). This is why you must be very familiar with how God thinks via constant study and meditation on His word. Always think like Christ because you have the mind of Christ.*

*Finally, submit your thoughts to the LORD at all times and allow Him to approve or replace what you permit in your thought-life. He knows what you think about at all times, and He wants you to always offer your thought-life to Him as a sacrifice that pleases Him. Give God full control of your mind!*

*Prayers*
Pray for those suffering from chronic depression out there.
