CHANGE YOUR THINKING – Day 52

Text: PHILIPPIANS. 4:1-23

Memory Verse: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8)

Message: The word of God gave us a hint as regards the scope of our thinking. There are thoughts that we are not permitted to accommodate or entertain as children of God. Our lives will always go in the direction of our thoughts. Those who steal or cheat are not stealing or cheating because of the economic situation of the country; they are stealing and cheating because of their stinking thinking. Why are others not stealing? Why are we not stealing? We live in the same environment and some people’s case might even be more critical but they have refused to steal because they have a positive mentality. That is why we have to really change our thinking before we can praise God effectively and acceptably. We must learn to put our problems and challenges in the proper perspectives. We must learn to feed on the word of God and put those scriptures in our spirit. We cannot live better than we are thinking. We must begin to think like grateful people. See God behind the scene in everything. We need to give ourselves a new orientation. We must not just sit down and complain because others are doing the same. We can change our lifestyle by changing our mentality.

Wisdom Nugget: No one can be truly grateful without the right mentality.

Prayer Point: Father, help me to see things the way you see them in Jesus name.
