The power of our thoughts
Proverbs 23:7 makes it clear that you are the product of your
thought. By extension, it means, your mentality determines your reality. Let me
give you one example. The prodigal son was wasting his life living in a foreign
land, in abject frustration. Then suddenly, his mind changed; he came to
himself and began to think.
Luke 15:17-18 says, "17) And when he came to himself, he
said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare,
and I perish with hunger! 18) I will arise and go to my father, and will say
unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee"
In verse 17, he began to think, and in verse 18, he took an
action. And when his action changed, his outcome changed. When he came home,
his father saw him from afar and ran to him. His father had compassion on him,
gave him a purple cloth, a ring, and killed the fatted calf to celebrate his
return. This happened because his thought changed. When thought changes, action
must also change; and when action changes, outcome must change.
So, until thought is right, action cannot be right; and until
action is right, outcome cannot be right. It is also important to know that the
deeper your thought, the better your action; and the better your action, the
brighter your outcome and your future. The life of a mad man is at zero level
because his thought is at zero level. That shall not be your portion in Jesus
Name.
(WHAT WE SHOULD DO):
1. Refuse to accommodate negative thoughts.
2. Make the thoughts of God’s Word your thoughts. Meditate on
the Word always.
