I know a lot of you want a change of story before 2022.
I know a lot of you think God has forgotten you seeing how prosperous 2021 is for some of your colleagues
I know you have been praying and seeking a great change in all areas of your life but all your efforts prove futile.
And now, you feel depressed, deranged, downcast, and despondent…All the negative ‘D’s’ and you feel like giving up.
BUT, HEAR THIS.
Your thought, Behavior, and Faith can change your life for the better and give you a prosperous 2022 and the great life you have been seeking
I know you are thinking about how the three words listed above can make you achieve what you have been seeking
Today, we will discuss how important and powerful one’s thoughts are.
There are three major things about the thought.
1. Thought is the seed of your intelligence
2. The root of your faith
3. The source of worry and anxiety
4. Your greatest asset
5. And the particles that construct and formulate your character.
So, for change to occur in your life, you need to learn how to change your thinking system
Philippians 4:8 says:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think of these things.
I want you to take note of the phrase “Think of these things”
The above Bible passage tells us that our thoughts should be focused on things that are good, lovely, honest, and pure.
Having the thought of “I don’t have money” all the time will produce a greater level of poverty.
Your greatest asset is your thought and it can change your life for the better because whatever you think is who you are. Proverb 23:7 says_ For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
You can think that desired future into reality because every great inducing achievement begins with your thought.
Thought can produce a great effect on your life. I once said that your thought Is the seed of your Intelligence but you know what, it depends on how you think and what you feed your thought with. Your thought can be the seed of your intelligence and the seed of your failure and downfall. That is why you need to feed your thoughts with useful and relevant information all the time and you need to think positively.
Your thought is also the root of your faith because the Faith you have and exercise in God comes from your thought. Before you begin to doubt what God can do in your life, you must have thought about it before concluding that it is not possible.
Your thoughts are also the source of worry and anxiety because before you worry and start feeling anxious, you must have thought about your present situation, problems, and struggles, and then you begin to worry.
That is why I said your thoughts are your greatest asset.
When your thoughts are concentrated in a unified direction, it produces an effect. That is why you need to change your negative thoughts to positive ones so you can have a positive effect.
2. Change your Behaviour
Your behavior speaks a lot about you. A lot of people’s behavior won’t give change a chance in their life because they are overwhelmed with pride, they think they can achieve what they desire all by themselves without involving God and humans.
They begin to work relentlessly but at the end of the day, they get frustrated because nothing changed.
Your behavior of “I can do it all by myself is called “Pride” which brings frustration and disappointment.
Never subtract the God factor from the equation in your journey to prosperity. Don’t allow pride to overshadow you with the mindset of I can do it all by myself.
And remember that you need people. You need people in everything you do. You can’t have a successful life without having support and help from others. So, never subtract the help of people from the equation.
Be humble enough to admit that you need God’s help and you need the help of people who can guide you
And if you eventually achieve what you have been seeking, do not forget God as well as those that helped you in the journey.
3. HAVE FAITH
Your Faith in God must be really strong if you want to make it in life.
Hebrews 11:1 says__Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen.
When you hope for something, have Faith that you will surely receive it because without Faith it is impossible to please God.
Let’s look at the case of the woman in the Bible with the issue of Blood.
The woman with the issue of Blood for Twelve good years was healed, her life was renewed and she got the change she desired because she had Faith. Her Faith was so strong that touching the Garment of Jesus was enough to heal her.
What type of Faith do you have?
I once said that your thought is the root of your Faith because before you do anything or carry out any plan, you must have thought about it and if you don’t have Faith, you may not achieve it.
Your Faith has to be strong.
We have different kinds of Faith. Some people’s Faith is Large and strong while some have little Faith.
Little Faith is a type of Faith that constantly worries. Although you have Faith you begin to worry if what you want to achieve can be possible. Little faith will cripple your faith and before you know it, you have no faith at all.
Let your Faith be strong. Whatever you think you can do, whatever you think you can achieve between the few days we have in 2021 and the new year we are about to enter which is 2022, believe you can achieve it with God by your side and with the help of others.
Stay Blessed.
