Words of the Ministry:
Today we would be considering the seeds of our thoughts; we saw how the seeds of our words affect our life in yesterdays teaching. What closely affect our words is our thoughts. Several times we see the bible caution us on the use of our mind and our hearts as they are the leading parts of our soul as far as our thoughts are concerned. The kind of thoughts you commit yourself to would most likely dictates the events around your life. If we give ourselves to thoughts of fear, failure, defeat and negative outcomes, it would be very difficult to have positive experiences because the mind is a battle field. The bible in Pro 4:23 says “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life”, in other words we must be deliberate to have positive thoughts as our thoughts has a way of determining our destinies.
The Psalmist in today’s reading knew the power of man’s thought, he prayed that his thought and the meditation of his heart be acceptable to God. To maintain a healthy thought life in today’s world is indeed a difficult one, as one sees the world events, the pain suffering, immorality, government policies, wickedness and the activities of Satan striving in broad day light, what comes to mind is 2 Cor 10.4-6 that emphasizes that our weapons are not carnal and that one of its primary objectives is to pull down negative imaginations. To have victory over negative thoughts, we must do what the second reading recommends, spend our time on thoughts that are pure and has good reports, in other words, to overcome negative thoughts, the way of victory is to replace them with positive ones, little wonder Rom 12.2 says we should renew our mind with God’s words, that is what is acceptable to God.
Dear saints, check with your experiences, hasn’t your thought played out severally in your life. Haven’t you experienced the things you fear the most. Have you now realized that your thought gave life the negativity around you. The way of victory is to start thinking the thought God has for you, the bible says his thoughts are of good and evil, if he God has such thoughts towards you, why don’t you accept it. The same applies to the thoughts we have towards others, if you sow good thoughts towards your neighbor, the same would happen to you. To know if you are a good man or an evil person check your thought, your thought is a seed to your future and you would reap what you sow, so be careful the kind of things you wish your neighbor. May the Lord grant us light, shalom.
