Nailing down every negative thought June 8, 2007

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ARE VERY DESTRUCTIVE. It has the power to cripple, hinder and prevent one from achieving big things in life. Sadly, many of these thoughts were developed or shaped through our upbringing, background and environment. Those that are good, keep it. Those that are negative and destructive, nail it down! Nail it by the word of God. Shoot it down. Demolish it and take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ. If we don’t deal with it, it will influence and affect our life.

Many years back, I received an email entitled, for all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer:

You say: “I’m too tired”

You say: “I’m not smart enough”

For every negative thought, God has an answer for it in the bible. Therefore it is important for us to feed on the word of God regularly and systematically. How? It is by reading, hearing, studying, memorizing and meditating the word of God. This is the best way to nail down every negative thought. Amen.
