Message: The Dirtiest Place On Earth
By Elder Kelvin Gilmore
Greetings to all of my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! God loves you and so do I. Thought for today. One day I took my clean car to a place to get my dirty oil changed. As I was seating in the customer‘s area, the service man called me over to informed me that my air filter was dirty. I am thinking to myself, how I could have neglected the air filter. Because the air filter is covered, I concluded it was out of sight out of mind. As Christians, many of us clean the things that are obvious like our bodies, houses, cars, etc. but we often overlook cleaning something that is vital to our Christianity because it is covered. We often neglect asking God to clean our minds of all of the filthy things that we encounter on a daily bases. An unclean mind can contaminate our Christian walk. Let us make a habit of asking God to cleanse our mind of everything that is not according to his Holy Will. I declare and decree that our minds are yielded to Jesus for him to clean daily. May God Eternally bless you and your family.
Poem for Today
It is natural for a man to keep his things clean.
For not to clean what he has is not good but obscene.
What if a man refuses to carry the garbage out of his house,
Wouldn't it be possible to attract a creature like a mouse?
What if he never washes his dishes that he uses everyday,
Wouldn't it be impossible to keep dangerous bacteria away?
What if washing his own body is a rule that he has forgotten,
Wouldn't the scent that follows him be similar to something that is rotten?
But what if man trashes his mind with filthy images and sounds that he never cleans?
Wouldn't he be attracted to a lifestyle that is ungodly because of his daily routine?
Our first washing occurs when we are baptize but it doesn't end there.
We should all take time often to ask God to clean our minds-we must become aware.
A daily cleaning of the mind can keep the demons away.
Through prayer and reading God's word, a filthy mind won't stay.
Let's ask God for the mind of Christ, so we can live in victory over the worldly trash.
Let's then cherish this mind and keep it clean to prevent it from ending up as worldly ash.
Prayer of Today
Heavenly Father, we come before you with a great desire to have a clean mind. We yield our minds to Jesus. We desire to have the Mind of Christ. Please clean our minds and everything in our lives from ALL unrighteousness. Thank You, Father. In Jesus Name. Amen.
