YOUR THOUGHTS YOUR LIFE- THE POWER OF THINKING RIGHT
people take this matter lightly. They are careless, instead of taking the responsibility of consciously guarding and protecting their heart from negative, toxic, infectious and destructive thoughts, they passively allow their minds to be bombarded by all kinds debilitating and energy-draining thoughts through what they see with their eyes and hear with their ears. No wonder their lives are producing the results they hate yet they keep pointing accusing fingers to anything and anyone else except themselves.
Thoughts are raw materials for producing any kind of life that is why we must be selective. If you want a good, happy successful and a fulfilling life, give your mind the raw materials for the production of such life. Expose yourself to things that can help your mind produce the life you seek. The human mind will not fail to create, develop, produce or convert the thoughts it constantly receives into outcomes and results. The mind is like the soil, while thoughts are seeds. Whatever seed the soil gets and retains that is what it will produce. “what you sow, you will reap”. This is an indisputable universal law. Let me quote again from the book of life (the Bible) Galatians 6:7 says, “Don’t be mislead, you can’t mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant”.
Naturally, everybody, no matter their culture, tradition or religion, desires a good life. This crave is an inherent attribute of man, one that he is born with. It was placed there intentionally by his creator for the purpose of revealing and communicating to him his mind. Everyone plans to succeed and not to fail and this is a godly passion. Even the beggars on the streets wants to succeed everyday by receiving a lot of alms from people. But to attain success which is the potential destiny of everyone, one has to fortify his heart and mind with the powerful weapon of truth because that is the starting point of both success and failure. Success in life really calls for embracing the truth. What then is the truth? The truth is God’s word or law. God is the maker or manufacturer of life and just like every other manufacturer, he determines the principles by which his product functions. In other words, life is founded on laws just like every other manufactured product of man. When these laws are learned and applied, they guarantee maximum success and fulfillment with mathematical accuracy. So, the more you commit yourself to knowing God’s word (the truth) and obeying it, the more your chances of success are increased and vice versa. The truth contains spiritual powers to set you free and put you on the path of bliss. God cannot lie, there is absolutely no possibility for that to happen. So, God’s word is the reality or truth. Some people terminate their own promising prospects because they mistook lie for the reality. They accepted the negative situations and happenings around them as their reality. Any condition or circumstance around you that counteracts the word of God is lie but if you accept that condition as the reality, you have empowered such to become your outcome. Certainly, nothing worthwhile comes easily. Your success is not going to happen to you without encountering any opposition. It is going to require the expenditure of mental energy because it engages the mind. If you really want that success as bad as you want to breathe then you must do what’s required. You must stand up to your feet inside of you and fight every negative thoughts and knock them down with the truth 2nd cor.10:4.You must arm and guard your mind and heart with the truth of God’s word for that is the realm from which success is born likewise failure.
