Who likes to work for a bad boss or to be under the responsibility of an unfair leader, who only makes decisions contrary to everything you want for your life, your family, and society?
No one does, although it’s not so simple to change jobs (who can guarantee that the next boss will be better?) or change the government, which happens every four years and doesn’t depend on just you. However, there’s another boss you can change that has a much bigger impact on your life: your spirit.
Have you ever stopped to think that you are a company of three entities? Yes! You are a combination of three: body, soul and spirit, and the leader of the three should be your spirit. When we speak about the spirit, we are talking about the mind, intelligence, and understanding.
It can be assumed that in this company of three – in which one is the physical (body), the other is the emotions (soul), and the other is the intelligence (spirit), the spirit is the boss. So, if your spirit is negative, naturally, this boss of yours will make wrong decisions that will be bad for your whole life.
It is because of an improper spirit, which misdirects the body, that a person has infirmities, because they do not take good care of their health. There are illnesses that a person has no control over, but most illnesses are caused because of a lack of discipline, such as not exercising or eating poorly.
How many people are suffering in toxic relationships and can’t leave because the soul says, “I like it, I want it, I won’t be able to live without this person”. The soul cried out for someone who treats them badly and the spirit didn’t have the strength to say: “Enough! You will leave this relationship and no longer subject yourself to this!”
Do you realise that God has given us the spirit to be a boss over us? The word of God says: “Like a city that is broken down without a wall, so is a man who cannot contain his spirit” (Proverbs 25:28).
That is, our spirit works as the protector of our lives. You decide to do or not do, and if your spirit does not assume this role, your soul or body will.
Is your spirit (mind) on holiday? If so, that could be why your life is out of control and in the hands of a terrible boss who doesn’t even show up for work.
If you want to change your life, you have to work on your spirit first. If your spirit is not strong, disciplined, balanced, and aligned with the word of God, you will be under a tyrant and exposed like a house without doors in a dangerous area.
Think: what have you been doing to strengthen your mind?
If you can identify with the points mentioned and would like to strengthen your spirit, you are invited to do so by attending the Congress of Success taking place on Mondays at your local Universal Church. The meeting will start at 7:30pm (also at 7am, 10am and 3pm).
