The mind

There is great power in our minds. Every thing we do, be it the words we speak, the actions we take, the decisions we take, are all first formulated in our mind. The mind is where everything is processed. Our minds can make or break us. Everyone has a great mind, but achievers put their great mind to great use. There was an article I read sometime ago which stated;

"watch your thoughts, they become words.
watch your words, they become actions.
watch your actions, they become habit.
watch your habits, they become character.
watch your character, it becomes you".

We have no control over the things that enters our minds as thoughts, but we have control over what we choose to think about. Before we accepted the faith, we heard the gospel, thought of it and saw reasons to make us choose to believe in Jesus as our savior. First we thought of it in our minds, then we accepted in our hearts. Our faith first started from our mind. So also the way we put our mind to use now as the children of God should differ from when we were unbelievers.

How to put our mind to good use

Putting our minds to good use simply means thinking about productive things that would yield good results. To put our mind to good use, we must first fill our thoughts with good and helpful things. Our thoughts should continuously be of good and helpful things. As students, our thoughts should always be of studying and getting good grades. As believers, the word of God should constantly occupy our thoughts. When our thoughts are constantly in line with good things, it becomes what we are likely to practice.

Philippians 4:8 NIV
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things".

A man can be changed by his thoughts. When there is change in thoughts, there is change in words actions and belief. Wise people are people who think with wisdom. Anything that exists today was a thought at first. Transformation occurs from the mind.

Roman's 12:2 NIV
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will".

The mind is powerful, we should put its power to good use

Yeah, in our mind everything is possible, this possibility can become a reality. Thanks @steemchurch for your contribution.

Yes, you are right sir

Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.
However the only way we can renew our mind is through God's word
Thanks for sharing mate

Thanks for your contribution @owoblow-steemit. I really appreciate it

The human brain (or mind) is often referred to as a supercomputer. As a supercomputer it proccesses quite a number of things. What we see or listen to could affect our minds. We have to be very carefully when selecting these things. Thanks for being informative Dyz.

This topic reminds me of what the holy bible says! 'As a man thinketh so he is'. We have to really see that our minds are tools to how we lead our lives here on earth. As dyz said! Our mind is a power tool.

Apostle Paul knew how people minds are been used by demons and the devil all because the mind is of power renewing your mind in christ turn your life around.....God bliss you for this mgs

Our minds are indeed oir greatest tools. They have the capacity to either make us or destroy us. We should watch our thoughts and our hearts so as not to go against the teachings of the word of God. We are admonished to guard our hearts against evil and unfruitful works of darkness. Constant study of the word of God and communion with the holyspirit are ways to streamline our thoughts and keep our hearts in check. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers

The mind is a great weapon of all men, so the question is how effect do our mind have over our lives. Great one @dyz7

Since this is the first step in any creative process, it would be fitting that we gear our thoughts to go in the right direction. If our thoughts are so powerful, the outcome of those thoughts will determine our final outcome. This means that what we think will in the end produce the result we thought about, whether it is good or bad.

Our mind is very powerful we need to be very careful with the way we think..... God words should always be in our thoughts

You are very correct mate.
We really have to be careful

Keeping a straight mindset, is the first key to greatness!.
People with their minds set always utilize their potentials to the fullest!.
