Without a doubt, the mobile phone provides accessibility to any individual and information anywhere in the world even in the comfort of our residence(home, office etc)therefore making communication easy and information easily accessible throughout the world. The best part of it is that it can be carried anywhere and everywhere just as the name "mobile" implies. So technically, your phone is part of you.
The average mobile phone(Android) possesses the features of promoting businesses, accessing the internet, social media and a medium of making money. It also gives the luxury of entertainment (games, movies, music etc). However, the mobile phone that brings men comfort also possess disadvantages.
The use of mobile phone can be addictive and distracting when not purposefully used; when not used for requisite purposes. However, many have mastered full control over their phones while the reverse is the case for many more especially amongst young people. Many make their phones useful and resourceful for them while so many has made it an object of destruction to their lives unknowingly.
How is this so?
Through its contents.
The contents of your phone–the apps, music in your playlist, videos and movies you feed on–tells a lot about you and where you are going in life. It can be positive or negative.
When you have corrupt movies and music, irrelevant apps, nude pictures and the likes on your phone, it shows you've given yourself up to corruption and a useless life. When your phone contents are documents that educates you (eBooks), relevant apps, good music and basically everything that builds your life positively, it shows you have a direction for your life.
Please, understand that the mind is the greatest factor of every human being. The state of your mind shapes the outcome of your life. It affects the decisions you make on a day to day basis. That's the reason the scripture commands the renewal of the mind in Romans12:2, if you desire the perfect and acceptable life. The eyes and ears are entrances to the mind and whatever introduced to them affects it,if accepted.
So your phone should contain what can be helpful and needful for your life. Feeding yourself with garbage from the internet, social media and all social platforms and networks can hamper your life entirely.
My siblings tagged my phone "a dry phone" because I have no movies, no games or any entertaining or irrelevant app or document in my phone, not even one. You can't find a trace of secular music or a foolish video. Everything in my phone is basically related to my dreams and where I'm going in life. Having movies or games in your phone isn't bad at all, don't get me wrong but because there are things I want to achieve, the memory space in my mobile phone have been dedicated to it. That's how I see it!
Ask yourself, if a responsible person opens my phone, what will be his thoughts about me? Can anything in my phone inspire someone? Is it's contents glorifying God and edifying me or glorifying the devil and destroying me? (The word "edify" is synonymous to the words "improvement" and "building". So make your phone an object for improvement).
Ponder on these questions and give yourself an answer.
If its a negative one, start clearing your memory space and fill it with edifying contents.
God bless you for reading patiently.
