Commit to Memory: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7 KJV)
Beloved, your rise to stardom in life and godliness depends on the quality of your thoughts. How do you think? What do you think about? You want your destiny to soar and that early? Then be intentional about the inflow of information you allow to flood your heart gate through your eye gate, ear gate and mouth gate. Guard your thoughts jealousy. With this in mind David prayed in Psalm 51:10
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me”.
In Genesis 11, it’s interesting to see that immediately the people had a thought pattern of “We can achieve this goal as One”, the Almighty God made two remarkable statements: Firstly, He said that the ‘People is one’, even though they were many and then secondly in verse 5 the Bible says: “And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the children of men have BUILT”. How and why? The moment they thought and purposed to build- God said they have BUILT it already. In the realm of the spirit, it was already concluded and so it was a go, go in the physical realm notwithstanding yet to be actualized. God saw that because their conception had become flesh by unity, unwavering, believing and purposeful- He concluded that they have builded the tower (Gen.11:5b). He had to confound their language to abort their plan and goal. For a user of this inspiration, if only you can conceive an idea and believe enough, get rid of all the rubbish and garbage in your heart, that idea shall become an amazing reality in your life time. Go ahead and begin to conceive greatness with the mind of Christ.
Friends, when you are left alone, when you are idle- what do you think about? What are the things you expose your eyes to see, your ears to hear and your heart to ponder on? What are the information that form images in your heart? These things end up forming your thought pattern. That’s why as children of light, we must watch our thoughts. May God give us grace in this wise to watch our thoughts.
Reflection: What you constantly feed your eye gate, ear gate and mouth gate will eventually form an image for your heart gate to begin to process by default.
