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. (Philippians 4:8). Of
all the means of attack of the enemy like projection,
oppression, possession, affliction,
the worst is programming. With the
first means, the enemy or the agents are present but in programming, they are not there. Evil programming is when the enemy installs a program in your mind
and it keeps running and affecting how your life turns out. To better
understand this, think of a computer. Someone comes with a software and
installs the program into the computer and leaves. He doesn’t need to be
present for the program to function. Every time you boot the computer, the
program is running in the computer. The human mind is like a computer. What the
enemy does to many people is to program limitations in their minds and so
despite God’s plans for a glorious life, they can’t go beyond their
mind-program. Some have a mind-program that ‘this is how my life should be,’
‘this sickness runs in my family so it will affect me,’ ‘wealth is meant for
others and not me,’ ‘I can never have A in any course because I am not that
intelligent,’ and so on. You can’t go beyond the limitations of your mind.
Beloved, fight this negative
mentality with all the spiritual weapons you can muster. “Wherewithal shall a young man
cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto
according to thy word.” (Psalms 119:9). There is a saying that you
cannot stop a bird from flying over your head but you can stop it from perching
on your head. To achieve this, Study of
the Word is key; Then is prayer;
Then yield to the Holy Spirit; Then be careful what you listen to; Then be
mindful of the company you keep. Make it a daily routine and you will
uninstall that evil program of negative mentality.
