Upgrading your Perspective

What if everything works out for your good?

What if all goes as you planned?

What if your hopes and dreams come true?

What if it all turns out great?

What if everything works in your favor?

A lot of people have adopt a negative perspective of life.

All they see is the cloudy and gloomy side of life.

If you are among this category of people, you must decide today, to change. Wipe your mind’s mirror of all the stains which is hindering your eyes from beholding the light of divine hope God is trying to show to you.

Whatsoever you get from life depends greatly on how you choose to see it. And what you see not only depends on what you look at, but also on where you look from.

The time has come for one to stop blaming one’s government for one’s financial hardship.

The Bible tells us that though we are in this world, we are not of this world.

This means, that though we are in the government of our respective countries, we belong and are dependent on a higher government; the government of heaven.

This is supposed to be the standpoint of a believer when addressing the affairs of this world. Though there are circumstances we cannot avoid or change immediately, yet, we can always change our perspective.

Our perspectives can be changed to seeing a challenge, to seeing a phase life which will surely pass.

It was Chris Pine that said,

The only thing you sometimes have control over is your perspective. You don’t have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.”

The Bible says, “As a man thinks, so he is” (Prov 23:7).

Your perspective will either become your prison, or your passport to greatness.

Begin to think positively. God gave us a powerful gift which is our imagination.

Begin to imagine beautiful things about yourself and as you imagine, desire, pray and believe they it will become your reality (Mark 11 vs 24).

That is how it works! The more you imagine these good things, the more your desire for them grows stronger. And burning desire is the trigger of fervent prayer.

Begin to confess positive things rather than negative things. The Bible is filled with positive confessions. Devote an hour daily to reading, Meditating on and declaring the promises of God to you.

Let them be your Perspective.

Start each day by confessing God’s promises consciously with faith in your heart.

Confess them at your place of work or during your lunch break. Confess them at night before going to bed and watch how your life will change for good.

Think positively and speak positively.

Let your heart be illuminated by your continuous gaze at the light of God’s promises.

Let your face be illuminated, by your smile of hope, and confidence, that no matter what you are going through, you are coming out strong.
