THE MIND

-


Ability to think: the part of a person that makes them able to be aware of things, to think and to feel. The ability to think and reason: your thoughts, interests; ability to remember things.
            The mind is the origin of our thoughts, before things are said through the mouth, I mean before words are spoken; many thoughts have been processed in the mind. Am thrilled at the way the creator designed the mind and am amazed at the way it is being used by people. The mind consists of a lot, positive thoughts, negative thoughts, ideas, solutions and many others.

            Like I said earlier, before words are spoken and expressed, it goes through a series of process in the mind. My question to you is; how have you been able to utilize your mind. What are the things that run through your mind when you are alone and when you are with people?
            Many times when people face challenges in some areas of their lives, they just keep it to themselves and conceal all the thoughts in their mind. Some people have concealed thoughts as secrets in their minds; many have failed in life for not speaking out. Think, what are you concealing in your mind?

            The origin of many problems and situations starts from the mind. Fornication, adultery, theft, corruption, selfishness, murder etc all starts from the mind. My aim of posting this piece is to urge and encourage my readers to develop their mind. Let’s allow positive thoughts and ideas occupy our minds. When a child is growing up, his or her parents tends to instill a lot of habits and culture into the child’s life, trying to mould the child’s thinking into what they feel is right. The child grows up with this mindset and if the mindset is a negative one, the child grows up having different issues.
            There are different mindsets. For instance, people who grow up with a poverty mindset find it very difficult to handle wealth because in their mind they have learnt to always settle for less. When you treat some people like kings, they still behave like slaves. Their thinking is always limited because they believe they cant go higher than where they are. They do not believe in the principles of giving but they believe in the principles of receiving and managing.

            I believe there is a way we can nurture our minds to maturity and positive thinking. Many situations will turn around and many problems will have solutions. Lets change the way we reason. THE MIND

THE BROKEN CALABASH

I want to take a journey back into the ancient times, the times of our fore fathers. When there was no technology or any form of advancement in the world, when things were done according to our culture and tradition.              My mum explained to me how marriage rites were carried out. How a woman is meant to keep herself and remain a virgin before marriage. She also explained to me how the groom’s family pays a woman’s dowry/bride price and takes items to the bride’s parent. Am sure some of you know this history.              After the marriage ceremony, the man always return back to his people and the brides people to tell them if his wife is a virgin or not. if the wife is a virgin, after the first intercourse on the wedding night, he uses a white piece of cloth to clean the blood that comes from the woman’s sexual organ. He then takes the piece of cloth to his family and the bride’s parent telling them he married a complete woman. But if he did not meet her as a virgin, he

A FULL HOUSEWIFE, A HELPMEET OR BOTH?

Feminist have come up with theories expressing the need for gender equality between a man and a woman. Although most of these theories have been countered several times, we can’t still rule out the fact that the position of a woman in the family, society and nation is a great one. Permit me to say women are the salt of the world. They make life sweeter when they are added in the right proportion and when treated otherwise you can imagine what the result will be. Without their presence everything becomes sour. The position of a woman in a home cannot be overemphasized, they run and manage the affairs of the home which include taking care of the husband, children, cooking meals, attending to guests and extended family members, buying items needed for everyday life and the list is endless. Although some husbands try as much as they can to help out in doing some of these things while some totally feel it’s the duty of a wife and they never help out. The attitudes of some of thes

THE HUMAN NATURE

I was in church, then suddenly after a short message was preached, a pastor gave me a scripture   (Galatians 5:19) and immediately after I received it, rapture took place and I woke up immediately. I wasn’t very shocked because it wasn’t the first time I would dream about rapture but I asked what about this scripture.         This scripture inspired me to write this: Galatians 5:19(GNT)”what human nature does is quite plain, it shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions”. Human nature: the ways of behaving, thinking and feeling  that are shared by most people and are considered to be normal. After much thinking and pondering about this scripture and the definition of the Human nature, I realize that majority of the things considered as normal by people are actually very abnormal. This scripture explains that what human nature does is quite plain, very obvious for all to see, it manifest or show itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions. IMMORAL: (of people and the
