Summary: This sermon is a motivational sermon.
Do you know that God is mindful of what you think? Everything about the life of a man revolves around his thought. In fact, the real personality of any man is the man on the inside of him. That’s why the bible says, ’As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.’ Proverbs 23:7
For you to fulfill your destiny in life, you must have a firm grip of your thought life. Your thought is the processing machine that converts your ideas into realities. If you must get it right in reslity, get it right first in your heart.
You must have the desire in your heart to get better today than you were yesterday. Your desire is the prime force that propels you forward, agaisnt all odds, in life.
The life of a man is a product of his thinking. The personality of the man is a product of his thinking. what a man produces is also a function of his thought. Good thinking, good products. your body which is the carrier of your strength also respond to your thought.
Mark 11:23-24: Without the right thinking, you cannot even manifest the powers of God, for your believing in God stems out of your thought of Him and His words.
As someone rightly said, ’whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can also achieve,. You see, the root factor is thought.
Moses sent out the twelve spies and all of them saw the same thing - giants. However, the thought of them about the giants varied. While some thought the giants could not be defeated, others had the thought of the possiblity of defeating them.
What do you think about your life? What is your tyhought about the situation you are going through? Do you believe that things can still get better with you? If you can think it, you can take it.
Guide your heart with all diligence for out of it flows issues of life. Whether you will win or lose in life is to be determined by what you do with your mind. You can also reason with God out of the problems you are in. Isaiah 1:18-19
Whenever you read anything from the scriptures, reason along with God and then see your faith rising to lay hold to the promises of God.
