TEXT

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7.

  One great truth about life is that you are the way you see yourself. The Word of God also makes us to understand that, as you think in your heart, so you are. What does this tell us? It means we have to think good thoughts so that we might become what we think, period!

There is a saying that the first step up the ladder of excellence is for you to think excellence.

  The Bible says in the book of

Phil.4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

  This verse of the Bible brought tremendous changes to my life. It changed my mindset totally.

At one point in my life, I never thought I could ever drive a car. I started learning how to drive since the time I was in the higher institution, that was in the year 1992, Up till the time I was in courtship with my husband to when we got married, I couldn't summon enough courage to put a car on the highway until the year 2011. That was when the verse "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." came alive in my spirit and changed everything about me and my mindset. I began to tell myself that I could do it, and that was how I started driving. I was able to do what I could not do for 19 years.

The Psalmist tells us in the book of Psalm 23:6 that - "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:..."

The Psalmist's attitude was that “something good was going to happen to him. Everywhere he went, he knew God’s blessings were chasing him. Favor was following him around.” He envisaged good things chasing after him. No wonder he saw God’s goodness! No wonder he overcame every of his obstacles and accomplished great dreams.

Do not despise yourself. Do not despise your little beginning. Tell yourself you can make it. Tell yourself that great things are going to happen to you. Be determined and courageous about the whole thing, and transformation will emerge. With God on your side, do the best you can, and the end I tell you will be great.

PRAYER

I can do all things according to His divine power that is at work in me, in Jesus Mighty name.
