POSITIVE CHANGE BEGINS POSITIVE THINKING
Read Philippians 4:8
MEMORISE
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23).
EXPOSITION
Just yesterday, we internationally celebrated the World Heart Day. We discussed heart - related dose of the Living Water yesterday. Today's dose is also heart - related.
What you get and become in life comes from what you think about in life (Prov. 23:7). That is why someone has said, "Your mind-set determines your life - setting." Your thought system determines your life system. Your conception ( thought life) determines your confession, and your confession determines your possession.
Headwork is better than handwork. God didn't create man to work with his hand first, but to work with his mind. In Genesis, God's first assignment to man (naming of all the animals) is a positive thinking assignment, or a mind - work, not hand - work.
Positive thinking is to have good mind - set, reasoning, mentally, or good thought. It is having the mind of Christ, seeing life and the things therein and thereof, the way Christ sees them (Phil.2:5). Those who work with their hands end up working for those that work with their minds. So many people are poor, not because money doesn't come into their hands, but because good and godly thought do not enter their minds. They don't allow the Holy Spirit to direct them right from their minds with thoughts that would lead them to their very God - given destinies.
The change and success you need will have to be conceived in your mind, first. One of the instructions to good success given to Joshua by God is meditation, which is simply, to think positively (Jos. 1:6-8). For your thought to be positive, you must keep your heart with all diligence to think on the things that are noble, true, pure,lovely, good report, praiseworthy and things that have virtues (Phil. 4:8). And this is only possible when you allow God's Word to moderate your thought system. When your life is down to nothing, try the law of positive thinking promised on God's Word and ways, that simply says; your life is up to something better and greater.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Purge my heart from any form of evil thought, oh Lord.
2. Heavenly Father, possess my mind with good thoughts always.
3. Let positive ideas that will lead to positive change in our nation fill the hearts of both the leaders and the entire citizenry.
