You are What You Think

Your heart is the seat of your life. It is the control centre of your life because it gives birth to your world or future. It is the bakery of your life. It is the processing unit of your life. That is why somebody said that your mind is the battlefield of your life. Once your heart is polluted, your life is polluted. The Bible says; “keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life” (Prov. 4:23).

God admonished us in this scripture to set guard over our heart diligently because it is the spring of life. It is the well of life. We become what we draw from it. In essence, God is saying that you have got to watch your heart and use its power to change the course of your life. why? It is because whatsoever you will become in life starts with a thought which comes from your heart. Your thoughts make you or mar you.

Show me a failure I will show you a man that has failed in his thinking life. Once your thought is distorted, your life is distorted. successful and exciting thoughts produce successful and exciting life. Meager and unhappy thoughts produce meager and unhappy life. It is your thoughts or what you are thinking constantly about yourself, your life, future, career or business that will eventually become your possession.

The reason is because your thoughts determine your attitude and action which eventually become your character which determines whether you will be a success or a failure. Friend, you are unlimited. You can be what and who you want to be if you will make use of your power of imagination. Your life, career, business and marriage can change right now if you will use the gift of God in you. No devil or witchcraft can stop you. The bible says: “And the Lord said, behold, the people is one and they have all one language; and this they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do”. (Gen. 11:6).

Wow! God said that now nothing would be restrained from them which they had imagined to do. That is no demon or man can stop you if you will harness your power of imagination or thought and focus it on what you want. Your imagination or thought is one of the powers of possibility that God has put in you at creation. Dare to use it. Dare to dream big and go for it. Nothing can stop you if you will make it(your good thoughts) stronger everyday. If you don’t allow another thought to overrule your thought for success and prosperity, you will become successful and prosperous. The only thing that the enemy does is to confuse or distract you in your mind. And once you are distracted, you are defeated. The enemy doesn’t need to fight you anyway; he just needs to distract you. And when he succeeds in distracting you, your dreams (good thoughts) become nothing. That is why the bible says: “Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts it itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor.10:5).

This is your role in the school of success. You are to cast down every imagination or thought of failure, poverty, divorce and hopelessness, and bring them into captivity to the obedience of Christ. God won’t do that for you, it is you that will decide what you want around you. No matter how hard you pray, you will eventually become what you constantly think or imagine unless you pray to change your mind which is the seat of your thought and imagination.

If you want your life to change starts with a change of thoughts. And once there is a change of thoughts, your life will begin to change for good. For as a man thinks in his heart so he is. That is a spiritual law, and God does not go against his law no matter who is involved. Focus on the things you want and pray, and everything about you will change forever.
