Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Pr. 23:7. For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

To get anything from God, whether riches or long life or a powerful Ministry, or anything else for that matter, it’s essential to ‘think’ like a man who has got it.  To ask for those things that you know deep within are yours because God put it in your heart.  This may sound strange for look at you now… you’re nothing, yet, whenever you’re in prayer with God, you ask for something that really has no way of being a part of your life, but by His power.  When you step back, pondering on this, it takes you by surprise as well…how can I be asking for such a humungous thing? And so there might be many thoughts that come in your mind which may be like, am I able?  Am I worthy of such a great blessing?  Am I the right kind of person for this position?  And so on.  But it’s these reasons that amplify the power of God in our lives for were it not God, it will not be.

You can know the destiny of a person by the way he speaks…if he speaks big things, he will be big one day even if today, he’s nowhere; but that he will be there is for sure for that’s why he speaks thus.  If he speaks small things, he will be what he spoke for he has not in him to be on top but at the bottom.   Our Word is very clear about this aspect which is, what a man thinks in his heart, he is.  The question is, why does a person think in a particular way; (usually people who’re going to be right on top think and convey the content of their thinking to others) this is because God puts it in their hearts and enables them to not only think the way they do, but also become what they think, because that’s their destiny which God has for them.  And by the way, did you realise that the thoughts of our hearts display the girth of our faith?

Check today, what you’re thinking…if you’re thinking to be rich, then you’ll be rich even if you’re scrounging at the bottom of an empty barrel for the pennies.  If you think you’re going to be a great preacher and man or woman of God, take a good look at yourself in the mirror, for you’ll be one and that’s God’s work in our lives for God always honors those who think this way and make God the guarantor of them.  Believe me, God loves a challenge - did He not agree to one with satan about Job? – and when the instrument of His challenge is to give Him glory, it will come to pass for God loves when a man grows big to bring glory to His Name.  After we become big, we must never forget God who in the first place made us big, putting us in the right places at the right time without which we would never be where we are.  Indeed God is great and greatly praised be His Name.
