You have heard it being said that you are today what you thought yesterday. You are the sum total of your thoughts and the subsequent decisions from your past. The truth is your future does not have to be like your past. If there is a part of your life you intend to improve, finances, relationships, emotions, career etc, then you need to think new thoughts to get new results.
In this season, I’ve been busy doing a brainwash, clearing my brain of old thought patterns that have kept me from success and fulfillment for many years. God’s thoughts concerning you are bigger than your current situation. His thoughts concerning you are as countless as the sand grains on the sea shore, and they are for good and not disaster. In order to triumph over patterns of behavior that have limited your effectiveness in your situation, you need to enlarge your mind to His thoughts, to His truth!
Pr 27.7 says “As a man thinks in his heart so is he”. This means that you are not who you think you are, instead, you are what you think! Hard reality isn’t it? His thoughts concerning us are bigger than our current situation in our different economies, industries, families and all sorts of situations. Ours is to focus on His thoughts, let this mind that was in Christ be in you also!
Sometimes though it seems like our circumstances are contrary to what we believe God has as promised us. In Jer 32.15 God told Jeremiah that lands, properties, vineyards and houses shall be possessed in that land. What we don't know sometimes is that Jeremiah was in prison when this instruction came! All around him was evidence that was contrary to what The Lord was saying. What did he say? In verse 17 he said Jer 32:17 "Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. NIV Jeremiah reminded his situation of who God was and what He has done!
Enlarge your thoughts to His truth through His word. Fill your mind with His truth, for it has overcome the world and the evidence around you. I look forward to your Comments on this entry!

Brother ure right on! This is what I've been going thru...trying to see myself through God's eyes, and constantly reminding myself that I'm being transformed into the image of Christ...that means if Jesus wouldn't think it...then I shouldnt be tinking it too...coz I have His mind, and there's no negativity in His mind. One of my favorite bible characters because I relate to him so much is Gideon...he looked down upon himself so much that when God called him a "Mighty man of valour" he came up with every excuse as to why he could not do what the Lord needed him to do. God had to take him to the enemy's camp for him to change his negative perception of himself. So ure right...we have to ask ourselves whether we're seeing ourselves through God's eyes or thru the enemy's. Isaiah 60:15b is one of my favorites: "I will make you an eternal excellence, A joy of many generations". Thanks Tus:-)
