Many a times we have had people talking about the mind, the importance of positive thinking, books have been published on ways to renew our mind and also the precious word of God tells us so. when i talk about the mind-thought sector and the internal and external effects that it has on an individual then i really know what am talking about as it is to say. There is this way that a thought acts on you spiritually, emotionally and physically. a positive thought is like a driving fire that burns you up, it either hits you up or beats you down. Before i as an individual got to understand the importance of positive thinking i did really struggle alot, I would wake up in the morning even before i come out of bed and the only thing that i would be thinking about was what are you going to do now venah? there is definately nothing good about you, look at how much behind you are? you are a failure, definately you are, what have you achieved????. And as i kept thinking about this i created a vacuum for the devil to work on me, and he kept reminding me of all the bad stuff that i went through, what people did to me and all that, and i really become angry, mad very mad and sad and i had nothing to look forward to, i didnt feel like waking up, and decided to extend my sleep, i later woke up feeling very tired and all moody and whatever i used to do best on that day it became worse, i went through this circle of misery, till one day when the lord spoke to me about me renewing my mind, about the lies that the devil has put in me to limit me, because he only came to steal, kill and destroy and that am being mean to myself and God who created me as He says that i am worthy before Him and i knew i had to change, it wasnt easy shifting my mind from a U turn to an S turn as it took God's word and prayer and practice, as it got to me i realized that every time i thought good things, i would have this energy and an amazing driving force that would push me to do whatever i was thinking about, For example, when i think about how fearfully and wonderfully made i am, i put my head high, i put on the jacket of confidence and self esteem, i work hard to achieve the good things that God says He will give me, There is a difference between two people who wake up at the same time, one feeling miserable and lost the other feeling confident and worthy, i believe the first person will loose opportunities, collide with other people, do even worse things and miss out on all the good things that life can offer, because as the saying goes we attract who we are and what we think of, while the second person, who feels more confident will work to the best level of what he has, will attract favour and blessings from all the sides, it is all said and done, Positive releases positive results which in turn releases amazing opportunities, some diseases are better healed through our mind than through our money, if only the world would be positive life would be easy for us. as i wind up let me give easy ways to be a better person through positive thinking
POSITIVE THINKING
1. Know who you are( The bible tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made from the image of God, we look like God, worthy and favoured and blessed) when you know who you are where you came from then nothing is going to limit you. Knowing who you are is also a practise as you constantly need to remind yourself that you are worthy and loved this way you are going to lock all the weapons of the enemy in your mind.
2. Have a driving force-Think about what you want to achieve and what you want to be and imagine yourself already there this will be a driving force
3. Feed yourself with the right things- our environment plays a big role on us, that includes the people we hang out with, the things we talk about, those things that we feed on, those that get to us are what we need to watch out for, the word of God talks about thinking about good and pleasant things, in phillipines it says whatever is noble, pure............................put your mind on such things.
4. Its all starts with God and ends with God- the bible tells us that there is nothing we can do without the lord, in our own strength we are going to fail, so as you strive to change your mind seek Gods help and read His word constantly
