What is man that You take THOUGHT of him

Hello Friend,

Good Morning!

Today, I woke up a little earlier than usual, walked the dog, made a cup of tea, and as always, took my place at my study desk. What a beautiful day!

How about you? How did your day begin? Feel free to share in the comments.

Habits are formed through repetition. Research suggests that it can take anywhere between 21 to 66 days for a habit to become deeply ingrained in the mind and brain. Once established, these habits begin to function on “auto-pilot,” meaning they start to influence and even control us—whether for good or for bad. 

Many people today struggle with habits and addictions, often feeling hopeless, not realizing that their HABITS were quietly being formed over time until they became their MASTER. But here’s the truth: you are not your habits—that is not your IDENTITY.
The process that worked against you now can work for you. The same way habits are formed is the same way they can be overcome—by intentionally creating and replacing them with new ones.

Here’s how the process works: the mind generates thoughts, and the brain processes them. It converts thought energy into electrical signals and chemical responses, distributing them throughout the body. When we repeatedly think certain thoughts, they are transmitted to the brain  creating patterns. They become hardwired, auto-pilot circuits in the brain—which we call habits (addictions). Over time, the brain begins to execute these habits automatically whenever certain conditions arise, releasing the necessary chemicals for the body to act.

Therefore be careful what you THINK, your THOUGHTS are HARD-WIRING your BRAIN constantly. Bad Thought PATTERNS are not 'demons' that can be 'CAST-OUT' by prayer - they have to be pulled down and taken captive and brought to the Obedience of Christ.
 2 Cor 10:2-6, 2 Tim 1:7,Phil 4:8, Romans 12:2

Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator. Our body is His temple—we are sacred space. That is why we are called to WORSHIP, MEDITATE on His WORD (not just read), and SPEND TIME ALONE in HIS PRESENCE. These spiritual HABITS REWIRE us and fuel TRANSFORMATION everyday.
This is the journey of a DISCIPLE until our LORD returns!

What new habits will you form in the month of April?
Let me know in the comments.

Shalom!

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
