WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD?

(See his head, no wonder they call him Edward)
"Edward, My Guy, How you dey?

(*hisses* that's how she will be forming, I don't even know if she has crossed the borders of her village)
"Awww, Esther dear, What's wrong?

(Today ko, Today ni, The only thing He knows is to come and beg for money, as if I am CBN)
"Ah Henry, My Padi, You see, today ehn, I am low on cash, maybe, tomorrow, God will provide or you can check Bros. Shola, He might have some cash on him."

(If you don't smile now, they will call someone bad belle)
*smiles widely*....Durotimi, I am so happy for you.

(If not for condition, Who will make this one My Boss, that's how I will be saying "Sir" to all these youngsters, it's as if I should just slap their faces, Look at this one)
"Good day Sir, You are welcome. Yes sir, I will bring the documents straight to your office."

Imagine if everything we said in our minds was put on loudspeaker: Would you be proud of yourself or Would you cover your face in shame.

Most times, the things said in our minds or the thoughts we ponder on, it's either we are shy to say them or it's unnecessary or it's shameful if you are caught saying it....

You know, when this prayer is raised:
"Let us ask the Lord to forgive us our sins"
We are quick to think of the obvious sins like:
- Lies: I didn't lie today
- Fornication: I don't fornicate
- Stealing: God forbid!
- Trouble-making: I don't even like trouble, I stay on my own, by myself.

You think of every external sin you feel you have committed, then, you ask God for forgiveness but you forget the internal sins, those that happened in your thoughts and in your heart.

Sometimes, we don't even realise that we have sinned, we just say, "I was just thinking, I did not offend anybody, It's only me that knows what I was thinking."

Let's look at what Jesus has to say about this matter.
"But I say, if you are even ANGRY with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an IDIOT, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you CURSE someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell."(Matt. 5:22,NLT)

This is not so convincing, right?
Then, Check this:
"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in HIS HEART."(Matt. 5:28,NIV)

So, the next time, you catch yourself saying something you might not be proud of, in your heart,
Simply ask God for forgiveness because though, it is a thought, it will be treated and judged by God as an action.

So, Watch your thoughts, lest, they become your golden ticket to HELL!
Shalom...
