UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS


 UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS


As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Prov. 23:7
1.      Thoughts are the quiet discussions and imaginations that go on inside the mind. They could be decisions taken, issues from past experiences, mental pictures and images that are created in the mind. Matt. 15:19.
2.      Thoughts can be practical self-deceptions (and immorality). Eccl. 5:7, Judg. 16:20, Jas. 1:14-15, Matt. 5:27-28.
3.      Thoughts are building blocks of great accomplishments and good deeds. Php.4:8, 2:5-9, Jer. 9:11.
4.      We can control our thoughts by:
a.      Being born again. John 3:3, 5-6.
b.      Casting down every wrongful imagination. 1John 4:1, Heb. 4:12.

d.      Filling your heart with spiritual songs and making melodies in your heart.
e.      Learning to meditate on wholesome things. Php. 4:8
f.        Remove and destroy all properties of the old man. This include porn sites, nude pictures, immodest dressing, wrong companions, carnal music and videos, and worldly TV programs.
g.      Break-up every friendship and association with friends of the old man; be ye separate.           2Cor. 6:14-18.
h.      Walk by the spirit. Gal. 5:16-17.
i.        Yield to discipleship training to learn the life of Jesus Christ. Matt 18:29.
j.        Set your mind on the things of God and His kingdom. Col. 3:1-2.
k.       Seek counsel from your pastor and elders in the faith whenever and wherever you are confused.
5.      God will judge every thoughts and imaginations. Jer. 17:9-10, Rom. 6:6-11.

In other to enjoy true prosperity, the ability to control your thought pattern is sacrosanct; you cannot be thinking poverty and end up in prosperity. Rom. 12:2. Your mind must be renewed just as your soul is redeemed for you to be able to take your rightful place amongst the saints in light. Col. 1:12.
What occupies your mind is more important than what occupies your time. Time is money, but your mind is the minting machine. you have to hold an ever-consciousness of your ultimate goal in life. Col. 3:1-2.

SUCCESS KEY #12 - USE HONEST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

 Life is a marketplace where different people market different goods and services to make earnings. There is no human being on earth that does not engage in the sale of one thing or the other, either goods or services to earn the resources with which to live on, so business is as important as life itself, and every one that is alive is involved in one business or the other. It is the mind of God to bless the work of your hands, for everyone that engages himself appropriately. God blesses your work because that blessing will bring glory to God and promote the Kingdom of God here on earth. The devil does not want this, and so he introduces all manner of schemes and craftiness to pollute your blessings and to make God to appear to you as one who cannot do what He said He will do. Psalm 35:27 (KJV) says “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant

SUCCESS KEY #14 - BRING DOWN THAT IDOL

The case against idol worship is a serious matter because the society has been skewed into believing that idol worship is nothing as long as it has been accepted by a people as their system of worship or conscripted into a religious formula. The essence of this article is to ascertain if those that seek after God the Almighty creator of heaven and earth are directly or indirectly involved in idol worship which will make it difficult for such to access the help of the one true God.   1.  Isaiah 51:1-2 says: “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.”   2.  Abraham our father in faith was once a victim of idol worship who at the age of 75yrs old had not much to show for his life despite the great destiny that God created him for.
