CONTROL IT, SHIFT IT AND DELETE IT.
Have you suffered any injury? How does it feels? Do the pains go quickly?
So, if the pains we suffered from physical injury takes time before leaving so also is our emotional pains.
If you keep on thinking of what Mr. A did to you ten years ago. That pain you feel will not leave. If you are thinking of what your lecturer did to you when you were in your first year. You are denying the pain of leaving.
Instead of shortening your life with unnecessary thought of unforgiveness why not let them go.
Although you may have tried but you are still feeling the hurt.
Then you have to CONTROL it - God has given us power over anything in luke 10:19 it says.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread onserpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
He has given us dominion over life circumstances.
SHIFT it :- Get engage in other things instead of thinking on those pains. They are distractions and they are there to stop you from achieving your goals.
Apostle Paul said in his letter Philippians 3:13.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before
DELETE it :- Get rid of those past painful event. Don't let them steal your joy and make you frustrated and gloomy.
Be joyful and happy the bible says in Proverbs 17:22.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Let me share this story. I once had a neighbour called Collins. He has friends who are into scam, so they tried to talk him in to join them, but Collins said no. You know the kind of mockery and unfriendliness he will face from friends like that but still he refuses to allow those thoughts disturb him. So he controlled it, shifted it - by thinking about other things like furthering his studies and those thought was deleted. He later gained admission into one of the best universities.
The bible says in Philippians 4:8
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.
Don't let those unnecessary feelings or thoughts inhabits your mind.
Do you want to experience a turn around in your life today. Produce the fruit of obedience by winning souls. Jesus is coming. God bless you!
