FREE YOURSELF OF CLUTTER AND DEBRIS

2nd JULY 2020

“But all things should be done decently and in order” -1 Corinthians 14:40

It is not certain if we are conversant with the effects of clutters and debris in our homes. Although while we may probably be aware that clutters and debris make our home and the environment very untidy, we probably are not aware that these clutter and debris could also invite some sort of ill – luck and demonic influences on us. How come this, you may ask? The answer is that cleanliness or orderliness is nearer to Godliness! Sometimes we keep so many things that are not important to us, thereby cluttering our homes with garbage and debris. This is not healthy and good for us. Life is lived based on principles that you must not lose sight of. These principles are organic and natural, affecting everyone not minding your religion or other affiliations. In nature, clutters feature as weeds in the garden or on the farms. These weeds have to be removed in good time in order that plants may grow well so we can have a bountiful harvest. Otherwise, the weeds will grow up and strangle the plants, and there will be no harvest. In the same way, you have to clear your mind of clutters in order that you may see clearly and to become well focused on the path of progress and breakthrough. Some of the clutters standing against our progress in life are the following: anger, frustration, disappointment, complaints about not making it in life, anxiety about how to cope with financial challenges, envy, jealousy, regrets, etc. A mind cluttered with debris such as aforementioned cannot attract success, opportunities, and breakthroughs. Such persons usually are not sensitive to opportunities around them as they are overwhelmed by several thoughts of failure and doom. This condition of the mind usually generates anxiety and dark moments which eventually forces the victim into a deep state of inactivity or a kind of spiritual sleep. While the victim is thus spiritually and materially asleep, he is unable to take advantage of the opportunities around him! By the time he wakes up, the opportunities are gone! Guess what? He starts to complain again, this time, more painfully and more intensely. Getting annoyed this way does not solve any problem, rather, annoyance further clutters the mind and the victim goes back to sleep and wakes up to find an empty world where the opportunities are gone again! If the circle continues unabated, then such a person is never going to make any progress in life. The truth remains that if our environment is clean, free of clutters, and organized, our mind will be calm and at peace as well. We will also be happy staying in an organized and clean environment. There is no doubt that a calm mind ignites enthusiasm in a positive direction. In fact, clean home or environment makes the brain to articulate complex processes better than a disorganized and dirty home or environment. Also, those who live in a clean home and environment are healthier! Only a clinically dead person or someone without any form of sensitivity would enter a clean and organized home or environment and would not sense harmony and peace running down his nerves, brain fibers and every cell of his body.  Dirty and disorganized home or environment is usually negatively charged while a clean, and tidy home or environment has a lot of positive vibrations! It follows that those who live in a negatively charged environment will harmonize with the vibes which will definitely affect their progress or frame of thoughts. The same applies to those in a positively charged environment; they will enjoy positive vibes which in turn brings about positive changes. Note that our environment is greatly affected by our thoughts and conducts. Therefore, like the garden plants in our earlier example, you must remove all clutter from your mind right away. Just like a plant requires the right condition to germinate and grow, so you need the right environment and proper frame of mind to grow wealth, make progress in terms of material and spiritual growth. Your clutter-free mind is necessary to grow wealth and health. Starting from today, begin to dislodge clutters from your brains, mind, homes, and the environment. Cleanliness is nearer to Godliness!

 PRAYER

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I request that you purify my mind, my home, and the environment of physical, spiritual clutters and debris. May I be fruitful, bringing forth a great harvest in due season. AMEN.
