Don't limit God with your thinking.

“Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.”     
Psalm 78: 41(KJV)

They limited the Holy One of Israel and they restrained Him.

This means that you have the capacity to restrain or release God in your life. it therefore means that some of us are releasing God, and some of us are restraining God in our lives.

Someone may complain saying, “I don't know why God has not done this for me.” Since you think God is your problem, the problem continues. But God is not your problem because everything you will ever need has already been provided by God before you were born.

So, when it comes to your provision, God lives in the past tense. God has provided. Whether it is accommodation, finances, whatever it is, God lives in the past tense when it comes to provisions, because He has already provided.

When you were born, you were born with the capacity to breath. When you were born, the oxygen you needed to breathe was already there. Also when you were born, you were born with the capacity to eat. Also, God didn't need to provide the passage for the food to come out, it was already there.

So, when it comes to your provision, be rest assured knowing that God has already provided for all your needs. Amen.

CONFESSION
I declare that I am living in abundance because all my needs have been provided for and supplied in Christ. God is causing all grace, every favour and all earthly blessings to come to me in abundance everyday in Jesus Name. Amen

You and Your Thinking 2

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” 
Joshua 1:8(KJV)

It matters the kind of thoughts that you are thinking. One of the greatest discoveries of my life is to know that you can choose your thoughts.

Knowing that you can choose your thoughts means that you can choose to think the right thoughts. As those thoughts get a hold of your mind and it converts to words, it will affect your behavior and make you successful.

Yesterday, I told you about Andrew Womack. You can imagine that as he changed his mindset that God was not his problem, that same moment, God started speaking concerning his provisions. He said the man gave him the fish, as they were going, the man said; let me also give you some things to cook the fish with. The man gave them potatoes and everything they needed to cook with. Not knowing that they had nothing in their house and they've been starving for a long time because of wrong thinking.

Therefore, change your thinking and every other area of your life would also experience changes that are consistent with your new thinking in God's word.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you because according to your word in Luke 1:45, there shall be a performance of those things which are spoken of the Lord unto them that believe. Therefore, I thank you Father for every good word which you have spoken concerning me is coming to pass by free course because I believe in Jesus Name. Amen.

You and Your Thinking 1.

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 
Philippians 4:19(KJV)

Do you know that your thinking can affect your provision? Let me explain with this story about Andrew Womack. When he began his ministry, he and his wife was starving, as a result, he became angry at God.

He continued that way until he discovered Luke 12:32, where the Bible says, it is the father's good pleasure to give unto you the kingdom. That renewed his mind and the way he thought about his provision. So, he began thinking that God wants to give to him.

As soon as his thoughts changed based on the word of God, that same afternoon that he discovered the revelation and changed his thinking, a member of their church who was fishing at that time, caught the biggest fish, God spoke to that man and told him to give that fish to Andrew Womack.

Prior to this time, he didn't tell anyone they had needs because when you are functioning by faith you don't need to put anyone under pressure.

That evening, after he ministered in church and was going home, the man came to him and said, “Sir, please would you come home with us?” When they got there, the man brought out the fish and said, “This afternoon, at such and such a time, God told me to give you this.” That was the exact time he believed and changed his thoughts. So, as his thoughts changed, God spoke.

Therefore I admonish you to change your thinking to agree with God's word concerning your provision, and they will be a release of God's provision towards you now. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I lay aside all erroneous and contradictory beliefs and thinking in my heart concerning my provision. I thank you  because I know that you shall supply all my needs according to your riches in glory in Jesus Name. Amen.

WHAT IS A THOUGHT?

“Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer …” 
Job 20:2(KJV)

A thought is an unspoken word. What is a word? A word is a verbalized thought. So, they are related. Thoughts become words, words become thoughts.

As you are reading this right now I am affecting your thoughts. You cannot give permanent change until you change a man's thinking. The Bible tells us of the man that is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he's like a man that beholds his natural face in a glass and he goes his way, and he forgets what manner of man he was (James 1:22-25).

Notice that the man that is not a doer of the word of God is the man that forgets what manner of man he was. The primary issue why he is not a doer and therefore cannot be blessed is because he forgets; that's part of your memory, and your memory is part of your mind.

Some of you have forgotten that you are strong. You've forgotten that you have victory over sin. You've forgotten that you have the wisdom of God in you. You've forgotten that you have a sound mind, you've forgotten. But these words are coming to you to remind you of who you are and to frame your thinking.
This is because it is so important that you have the right thoughts. People who are bound to sin, are bound to sin because of their thoughts, not because the sin is powerful. Therefore, change your thoughts by renewing your mind with the word of God.

PRAYER
Father I thank you for your word fills my heart with the light of the gospel of Christ. Your word is renewing my mind and setting me on the right course always. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Your Best Life 2.

“… For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” Matthew 12:34(GNB)

Your thoughts are product of words, and your thoughts decide how you act, because your life will take on the character of your thoughts.

The students in the experiment we looked at yesterday thought they were the best students so they acted as the best students. The teachers thought they were the best teachers so they taught better and they produced the best results. Now, they were the same people but they had a different thinking.

Therefore, if you are going to change your results in the exam of life, you must begin with your thinking. It has been said that, no man has earned financially beyond what he thought he could earn.

Your thoughts decide your heart rate, your thoughts decide the state of your health, and it decides your strength or your weakness. It so important the kind of thought you are thinking. It has been said that your thoughts can even affect your ability to digest your food.

 I heard of an experiment in America that was performed on people who had knee injury. They performed an operation on the knees of a particular number of them with that problem and on another set they did not perform any operation, but an incision was made on their knee as though they did an operation on them.

About a month later, those who did the operation recovered well and their knee had no problem, and those who had no operation carried-out on them, that just had an incision made on their knee as though they did an operation also recovered as well because they thought the operation was done.

CONFESSION
Dear Father, I declare that your word to me this year is true and real to me. No matter what I see or how I feel. I have taken your word as my final authority above my emotions and all contrary evidence. Amen.

Your Best Life 1.

"… Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" 
John 11:40(MSG)

Williams Carrey James, one of the fathers of modern day psychology said that one of the greatest discovery of psychology is to find out that if you can alter a man's thinking, you can change his life. This is because your life will always move in the direction of your most dominant thoughts.

I have often shared the story about some students in the United States of America that were gotten at random from different schools, and they were told that they were the best students from that entire county. Then they got some teachers who were not doing very well on their jobs and they were told they were the best teachers. So, because they were told that they were the best students and the best teachers, after a while, they produced the best results. At the end of the experiment, they got them together and told them that some of them were the worst students and the worst teachers, but just because they thought they were the best teachers and students, they produced the best results.

From that experiment, it is obvious to us that because they believed that they were the best teachers and students because of what they were told, they produced the best results.

Therefore, with the words that God has given to you this year, concerning your dominion and the great things He will accomplish with your life this year, believe those words;think like it and act like it throughout the year and you will surely produce the best results with your life this year. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I believe your word which you have spoken to me and declared concerning me this year. I thank you for your grace is already at work in me to live a life of dominion and to accomplish supernatural feats for your glory this year, in Jesus Name. Amen

RENEW YOUR MIND

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…”    
Proverbs 23:7(KJV)  

As you begin this New Year, it is important for me to let you know that God will never be able to do for you beyond what your mind can conceive. So it is very important that you think right because right thinking leads to right believing.

Your beliefs are products of your thoughts and your thoughts are products of words. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 23:7, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” In other words, by your thinking, you're deciding the direction of your life.

Right now, where you are, is a product of the kind of thoughts that you think. Where you are and the way your life is a reflection of your thoughts. It is so important that we understand that our real issue is not the devil because he has been defeated according to Colossians 2:14, Hebrews 2:14.

This is why the Bible says to us in Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind …” So the change you desire must begin in your thoughts. God spoke to me and said, “Permanent change is impossible in any man's life until you change his thoughts.” This is because your mind set decides from the outset the outcome of your life.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I ask that as I submit my heart and my mind to the influence of your word to me today and throughout this year, may your living word produce in my life what it talks about in Jesus Name. Amen.
