Creating Your Own Climate

Imagine you are so tired, you came into your room fagged out, having worked all day. Lied down on the couch and telling yourself "I just can't see anybody anymore today; I have to get some rest". But just then the doorbell rings. "Who's there?" you wearily call out, almost angry. "It's me Grace", replies your fiancee. Mind you, you were tired all right, and sure needs some rest. But would you be so tired to lock out your beloved financee? What do you think will happen?. You will most surely would jump up with a new gust of energy. All the tiredness disappears, your sweetheart is here! The point is this: at any point in time, we are actually in control of our emotions.

The human system runs on emotions. The nervous system in every human being is actually an electrical system that conducts small charges of electricity. Just think about that! As human beings, we are wired up just like a building is wired. But if there is no electric power flowing through the cables in the building, no appliances would turn on. The light are not going to come on, the stereo set will not come on; the TV will not work. So too is our physical system; it works with emotional energy. Understand that the flow of this energy or emotional power, largely determines our state in life. That is why it is important that we gain control of the flow of our emotional energy. Our emotions can be either positive or negative. We have to be able to identify which emotions are negative and which ones are positive, because negative emotions are destructive. It is very important that we are sensitive to our emotions.

When the human system is full of negative emotions it causes the body to malfunction. The glands release hormones in excessive quantity. You would notice that the human system functions best when we run on positive emotions. Proverbs 17:22 The Bible affirms that "A merry heart does good like medicine". Positive emotion aids good health while negative emotion destroys one's health. When the glands secrete hormones in excessive quantity, the hormones begin to wash the linings of the stomach, run through the intestines and create ulcers and all kinds of problems. Rev. Father Ajike Mbaka of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN) said that "70% of human beings illness are caused by psychological factors and can be healed or cured by setting the human psychology at the right pace". Truly, we thrive on positive emotions.

Some people do not even attempt to gain any control over their emotions because they simply do not believe the emotions can be controlled. Some people can identify their negative emotions, but choose rather to avoid pain and by leaving their negative emotions to fester; ultimately they are just regulators. 

Negative emotions attract poverty and repel prosperity

Feelings create magnetic field around our lives. If you are science inclined, you must been taught that there is a connection between electricity and magnetism, and that electric currents sometimes, given the right situations, create magnetic fields. And since our nervous system is the human electrical system, when emotions run through our lives they create magnetic fields.

Every magnet has the power to attract and repel. The kind of emotion that runs in your system will determine what you attract and what you repel. What you radiate determines what you attract or repel. If you allow negative emotions to run through your life, you will create a negative magnetic field around you and attract Problems while repelling opportunities. Proverbs 15:15 affirms that "Who is the afflicted but the person who is feeling sorrowful, frustrated, sad, depressed and disappointed". Many people think it is just natural that we should feel negative when circumstances are negative. They believe that circumstances always dictate our feelings. However, it does not work that way only. It is our feelings, actually, that determine our circumstances.

It is not because things are bad that you are sad; you are sad that is why things are bad. Take the control away from circumstances and put it on yourself. It is all about you. Some people would say, " Oh sure, when everything is working fine, I'll be happy". You cannot afford to wait until then, because things may not become better at all. Take control of your feelings and emotions. If your joy withers, everything else around your life dries up. Everything follows your emotions. Nehemiah 8:10 says "The joy of the Lord is your strength".

The more joyful you are, the stronger you are. The less joyful you are, the weaker you are. It affects every area of your life.

The best strategy to keep your feelings and emotions stronger is to position them on God because He is unchangeable, He is reliable. It may take time but keep praying, He will answer without demanding you anything in return.
