Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4 : 8 (NLT)
What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Paul tells us to program our minds with thoughts that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Do you have problems with impure thoughts and daydreams? Examine what you are putting into your mind through television, books, conversations, movies, and magazines. Replace harmful input with wholesome material. Above all, read God's Word and pray at all times.
Ask God to help you focus your mind on what is good and pure. It takes practice, but it can be done

WHAT DO YOU SEE?
Befret and Daveson went on a camping trip, they set up their tent, and then
fell asleep. Some hours later, Befret wakes his faithful friend. "Daveson,
look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Daveson replies, "I see
millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" Daveson ponders for a minute. "Astronomically
speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially
billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and
insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day
tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Befret is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Daveson, you idiot, someone
has stolen our tent."
Have a wonderful weekend!

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. Psalm 23: 1 (NLT)
A shepherd protects his sheep from attacks,
A shepherd provides for his sheep,
A shepherd guides and leads his sheep to where they get green grass,
A shepherd ensures that his sheep is well taken care of all the year round.
Since the Almighty God, the owner of a cattle on a thousand hills is my shepherd,
I believe I am protected, provided for.
He will guide and lead me aright and my safety is ensured all year round.

In everything you do, you will succeed...
By the time this 2012 ends, you will look back with joy;

God shall take you to the place of your greatness and destiny.
You shall have victory that is certain...
In place of breakdown you shall have breakthrough;
In confusion, you shall be enlightened; and in weakness, you shall be strengthened...
There shall be for you beauty in place of ashes, the oil of gladness in place of spirit of heaviness...
Every closed door against your goodness, greatness and destiny shall open of their own accord...
You shall be instructed and illuminated within by the Spirit of God...
You shall rise above every obstacle and be carried on the wings of eagle...
God will remember you for good...
You shall fulfill and not frustrate destiny...
Each and everyone one of us is going through some issues right now,
but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.
