WHAT ARE YOU GIVING YOUR MIND TO?

While growing up, one of the things I have learnt so far is the power of information, information has the ability to mold you to be a better person and it can mold you likewise to be the worst person ever!
The use of information by majority of the youth and sometimes the adults convey negativity most times...this had limited us from being developed as an infants to stage of our peek. Information makes us increase in knowledge and productive or unproductive. Knowledge can be good or Bad, depends on the information that is reached out to you.
Friends, family, neighbors can determine how we grow, what we surf on the internet likewise could determine our mindset. Things around us likewise are signals of information in which could be sensitive... Movies many watch are most times influential in their lives. You are the product of what you give your mind to, this is not a demons problem.
To think about it, no one knows about sex if they haven't gotten knowledge of it from a particular source. You can not practice what you don't know, you can only engage in an habit of what is passed across to you. A young girl for example, a young girl in which had never kissed before in her life, was caught by myself in a conversation. The guy demanded a practical kiss of romance from the teenage girl, while the young girl said, she had never done it in her life but rather than hugs and she doesn't know how kissing is done, this is a girl of 16years old. Then the guy told the young teenage girl, he would teach her how to do it, it is enjoyable, the girl said, she is ready to do anything the guy wants from her. Note this, this girl doesn't know how it is done, but seed have been planted in her mind, what is the seed? It is "enjoyable"... Her mind would be at the picture of how enjoyable it is. So, she would want to give it a try to please her flesh to see how it is like. Taste of things are different, such as honey, biscuits, apple, orange, pineal apple, grape... Though they have a good taste, sàmelike when people hear about something being good, they would want to figure out how it really looks like, that is what happened to Adam and Eve in the garden. Many people got involve in sex, not because they wanted to, but rather because they were brain washed with wrong information about sex to bed, this goes with cuny and sweet words by the opposite sex. My dear, the truth you have got to know is that, information is powerful and can determine how we respond to things. The question is, what are you giving your mind to? What are you listening to daily? Who are your friends? What are your friends teaching you? What lesson are you learning from them? You can't act outside what you hear daily, you are the product of what you give your mind to daily... You don't believe can walk perfectly, that is a wrong knowledge, we can walk in our perfection, that doesn't mean we are not liable to mistakes, that is the best word used. Don't ever think you can't overcome certain habit, you can, you have got to keep working on your mind, keeping away from wrong information, that is information that have no positive influence in your life, keeping away from wrong friends, that have no positive value to you in your growths. Be careful of what you read on the internet, what can attract you to sex and romance, what about the movies you watch? You could be imaging how they kissed and want to find a partner to do same like, the more those information pile up in your mind, they become your needs. Rather replace those information with positive ones, visit the right places at the right time. See yourself as being righteous in Christ who ought to walk righteously,not as unrighteous fellow! See what Paul said in a nutshell.
Philippians 4:8.
. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think on these things. 9 Whatever you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, put these things into practice. And the God of peace will be with you
What is Paul saying there? He is actually saying, whatever information that is true, whatever information that is honorable, whatever information that is right, whatever information that is pure, whatever information that is lovely, whatever information that is admirable, he said think about this things. If you are in a particular habit, you are to put off your old knowledge, you put it off! By pulling off is putting aside your old habit, then you start putting on your new habit in which is in the likeness of God in true Holiness and Righteousness. Right information is the key to this!give your mind to the right information.... Not sex movies or nudy pictures... Be smart and think smart!!! You are in a high level!shun wrong information don't negotiate with it!
Ephesians 4:22-24.
to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Same like Paul would say, test everything that is said to you, and hold tight to whatever it is profitable. That means, not every thing you hear indoor or outdoor, or see on the internet that is profitable, except the right ones.
1Tessalonians 5:20-22.
20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt, 21 but test all things. Hold fast to what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil!
One, he said you should not scurf prophecies or treat it with levity, you could be walking in disobedience... The after, he said, abstain from every form of evil.
What does Paul said, he said abstain... How do you abstain, you are to hate wrong knowledge!
Romans 12:9.
Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
