It’s inevitable that man will always have something to THINK about, it is a possibility that man will DECIDE to do something about what he thinks and its man’s prerogative to take ACTION, man has to make that choice, act or stay put.
You will agree with me that your accomplishments to date or lack thereof have been characterized by your thoughts, the decisions you took and the action that followed thereafter. Sometimes opportunity slips off because we procrastinate a lot, we think, decide then fail to take action, isn’t it rather unfortunate.
Everything is a product of thought including you, the person reading this right now, and great accomplishment have always been born out of great thoughts and mediocre ones from mediocre thoughts. Your thoughts get their character from what you feed your mind through your eyes, ears, smell, touch and feelings.
If our thoughts are that important, then we ought to do everything in our power to control them to work for us rather than against us.
Thoughts are spiritual, and Jesus once remarked that Man shall not live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. When you receive the word of God in your spirit, it will permeate your thoughts and give them a face lift so to say and every ounce of your thoughts will take on a whole new dimension of character and meaning.
You receive the word of God in your spirit through Insights, studying the bible and meditating on scripture and God’s word is always consistent with His character of Love in Christ Jesus.
The common enemy to your Thoughts, Decisions, & subsequent Actions is fear - the worst of all enemies. You have to rise above your fears if you are to attain anything of significance in your life, rise above it through Faith, believe & trust in God.
Fear thrives in doubt, it would do you absolute wonders to saturate your spirit with the word of God and dispel any doubts of whatever nature and do it continuously because for some strange reason, man leaks the anointing upon his life & thus it has to be continuously re-loaded through confessing the word of God, prayer & meditating on scripture, otherwise, all the anointing will leak off and the power thereof and vulnerability to the the viles of the enemy will then be inevitable. That is why it is important to have moments of spiritual exercise as stated in 1Timothy4:8, 2Timothy 3:14-17
According as His (Jesus) divine power hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue 2peter 1:3, however, these things are in the spiritual realm, you have to reach there and get them. Whatever will manifest in your physical world will be based on what you have comprehended and received in the spiritual realm and your thoughts, decisions & subsequent actions will reflect that fact.
Reaching out into the spiritual real requires one to grow up spiritually. While effort has nothing to do with your salvation, it has everything to do with your spiritual growth.
Spiritual growth is not automatic, it takes an intentional commitment. You must Think about spiritual growth, make decision to grow spiritually and finally make an effort to grow spiritually – Act, take action then persist in growing, at the end of the day, it will be worth it a zillion times. Allow the Holy Spirit to have preeminence in your life and you will not struggle to grow spiritually.
Be reminded that the real things in life are spiritual and not material. Real in the sense that, they have been around for time immemorial, never created by man and cannot be destroyed by man, they are Immutable.
Let’s now get some spiritual nourishment with some food for thought in the few words below, I trust that you will be invigorated by might by the Holy Spirit in your inner man and that you will be able to immerse yourself in the awesome greatness of God’s Love, Wisdom and Power. May you be irreversibly lifted up in your thoughts as the word of God takes root in your spirit!
Here we go….
· A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Be absolutely clear in the desires of your heart in what you want and how to get it; leave no room for ambiguity. Clarity, clarity, clarity! Is the key.
Stick to the facts and tell the truth as you know it. You just never know for sure who you are talking to or who is listening to you at any one time! If you can’t write it and sign it, do not say it. PERIOD!
The lip of truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is for a moment Proverbs 12:29 “for by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned Matthew 12:37
· Do not say never & do not ever lose hope! Fight(in the spirit) to the last second.
Anything is possible, as there is nothing that is impossible to him who believes.
Have the courage of your convictions and live in the realm of possibility. Try more things and persist longer.
You cannot grow if you insist on doing the same things that you have always done, just because you used to like doing something is no excuse to keep doing it.
· Trust in God only. Give man benefit of doubt for thus saith the Lord curst be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like heaht in the desert and shall not see when good commeth but shall inhabit the pearched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters and that spreadeth out her roots by the river and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green & shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it! Jeremiah 17:5-9.
Times change and so do men, that’s why I strongly recommend that you only trust God and deal with man according to God’s word and you will do well.
Psalm 118:8, says It is better to Trust in God than to put confidence in Man.
· Respect yourself.
”He who respects himself is safe from others, he wears a coat of mail that non can pierce” Henry WardsWorth-Longellow – Author. Improve yourself both in good times and ‘bad’ times and regardless of what is going on before and around you, always choose to be bigger than your circumstances, not in a puffed up manner though, rather by humility and the fear of the LORD for there in are Riches , honor and Life. Your prosperity does not have to come at the expense of other people, as a child of God, its His will to prosper you and He takes pleasure in your prosperity.
· Your two most important duties are:
a. Your duty towards God, and
b. Your duty towards Your neighbor
Remember its all about LOVE, loving God and Loving your neighbor.
“Thou shalt Love the Lord thy God with all thy Heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt Love thy neighbor as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37-40
· Do not be put off by critics.
Critics have always been there but have never won. The more fierce and great your critics are, the greater you are! So do not despair when you are criticized and don’t partake in it by criticizing back.
Be about your own business and be excellent at it, waste no time giving your critics attention. As a matter of fact, be ‘dead’ to both criticism and praise and just be you, whether you are praised or criticized.
· Be focused and avoid being double minded in the things you do.
Great achievements of mankind have been preceded by long periods of hard concentrated work till the task(s) was completely done.
Set out your own overall priority and with total determination; pursue it relentlessly to the exclusion of everything else.
Once you have decided on your No. 1 task, refuse to stop until the job is done 100%. Be diligent, purposeful & focused in your pursuits.
· Become a magnet of money.
Money is not in the banks or in the stock market, rather Money is in your consciousness.
The prosperous are always conscious of abundance & the poor are always conscious of lack, the preceding statement is absolutely true and can be proven.
It is also worth noting that everything we want in life is already with us, it’s just a matter of becoming aware of its presence.
This you can do by allowing the Holy Spirit to have preeminence in your life, who then will bring about the awareness of the extraordinary to be a common thing in your life.
Money answereth all things Ecclesiastes 10:19 and the scriptures also say that the For the Love of Money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows 1Timothy 6:10
Money in itself is definitely very useful, however, when it is exalted as some do, it snares and becomes an object of worship, and that is distasteful to our God! Money has its proper use, just as fire has its proper use. If you misused fire, it would cause death or irreversible damage. So is it with money its misuse can cause death and irreversible damage to all concerned.
You misuse money when you exalt it above God and allow it to rule your life. Yes money answers all things but remember, it is in your consciousness and you did not create your consciousness! Remember that!
Bob Proctor once said "Love people and use money" and that is just spot on! trouble however, ensues when one tries to reverse that statement i.e to love money and use people - do not ever do it.
Always remember that Money is your servant and you are the master do not make it the other way around
· Give and it shall be given unto you.
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: For God Loves a cheerful giver” 2Corinthians 9:7
Giving is one of the most powerful acts of faith you can engage in, it is as powerful as praying , fasting. You have to get your own revelation of it, do not take my word for it.
Understandably, most Christians struggle with giving because they have given for far too long and little if any or nothing at all seems to happen to change their situations.
I believe this has to do with the attitude with which one gives; the scriptures clearly say ‘For God loves a cheerful giver’.
Like I said earlier on, giving is an act of faith, you should give in gratitude, in thanks giving & honour to God not as ‘aquidi proco’, have no expectation of a return when you give. Make your giving a sacrifice and God will take care of the rest, you simply have to do it by faith and in Love.
It’s not easy to give selflessly, believe me, that is why I say you have to get your own revelation of how important selfless giving is, it’s got to be revealed to you otherwise you will miss out big time on its impact on your life.
Give of your time and your Finances – and do it cheerfully in Love and God will cause you to abound in all sufficiency unto every good work.
Well, I am just about done with this post and thanks for your coming this far with me.
You know what;
When you receive the word of God into your spirit, your mind gets illuminated with the light of God, revelation knowledge flows unhindered & uninterrupted and that is a very conducive environment for the Holy Spirit to thrive and operate in.
You will then truly be able to see through the eyes of the spirit and behold the awesome beauty, the magnificence, the glory and Love of God! And it’s simply beyond description.
I trust that you have been enriched and blessed today and until we meet again right here next time, look out for one another and be at the forefront of Thinking, Deciding & taking Action.
I love you and appreciate your life. Keep smiling.
Peace & Love
Libs
