Recently, I was meditating on the interior anatomy of man. I scrolled around Genesis, and observed that after creating other animals and man, God told man to dominate and subdue everything He had created.
I was highly appalled at this occurrence.
The Lion is one of the strongest animals that has ever existed. The roar of a lion can be heard more than three miles away. A Lion’s bite can tear into even the thickest of flesh.
With these mighty features of a Lion, God gave man dominion over it.
The Elephant is probably the largest elephant in the world. It weighs scores of kilograms. It’s trunk is so strong, that it can lift heavy cars and destroy even houses with it.
With these frightening features of the Elephant, God gave man dominion over it.
Time will fail me to make mention of the likes of the Tiger, the Swift Cheetah, the Cunning Hyenas.
Or is it the snake, with venom that can cease the pumping of the heart within seconds?
God gave man, a frail creature made of dust, dominion over all these animals.
This means there was a distinguishing factor between Man and these animals.
It also means that man had something higher than the attributes of these animals.
He did not have a thick skin like the Elephant. He did not have speed like the Cheetah. He did not have ferociousness like the Lion. He did not have a venom like the snake.
But man had a gem. A precious one.
God created man with A Mind.
The Mind is the greatest treasure man has ever had. The Mind is unlimited in its propensities and potentials.
The more you task your mind, the more it produces some of the most fascinating of imaginations.
The greatest of scientists and inventors all worked with their minds.
If you want to succeed in Business and in financial independence, you must be a master thinker.
The Mind is one of the busiest laboratories in history. I call it a laboratory because it is the place in which analysis is made and inventions are birthed.
Yet, you can take control of your mind, and so task it, that it becomes a near-omniscient force for you.
The mind, like the human body, has muscles. It has what is known as FACULTIES.
These faculties include;
1. The Imagination
2. Reason
3. Memory
4. Intuition
5. Perception
6. Emotion
Each of these faculties are very important in living with an unlimited mind.
They must be developed by your intentional efforts.
I was with a friend sometime ago, and she was reading the book of a renowned Author and she said, ‘God just blessed this man with a great mind. Look at the marvelous works he is producing’
When she said it, I smiled. But now, I realize that she was wrong.
God never created anyone with a sharp mind and then create others with a less sharp mind.
Every child is born into this world void of knowledge and wisdom.
The only thing scriptures tell us, that resides in the heart of a child is foolishness.
Any man you see with a swift memory, an astute reason, a Powerful imagination and an unparalleled reasoning, wasn’t born with it.
He spent time investing in his mental wellbeing.
How much have you invested into your mind?
Many believers invested in their phones.
Some of invest in their physique. They do all possible to develop a tanned body outlook.
But how well do you exercise your mind?
Until we begin to take these things seriously, we will remain reactionary believers rather than proactive believers.
Netflix will come with their Antichrist inventions, and we’ll wail and curse and turn into weeping prophets.
After a while, we will rest.
The US Democrats will come with their astute, cryptic election winning strategies, we’ll cry, wail and then, become silent again.
Charlie Charlie will come. We will cry, wail, call it demonic and horrific and use the biggest Spiritual terminologies, and then, everyone will rest again.
Satan will keep pushing his agendas, and all we will do is to criticize and write long, forgettable Facebook articles against it.
Because we have failed to train the weapon of incredible inventions, THE MIND.
The secret of every great writer, inventor or creator, is their ability to use their Imaginations to conceive unsearchable secrets.
While meditating on this subject, I realized that a lot of us have lost the Imaginative powers we had as kids.
A child can look at a paper, and without any foreknowledge or past knowledge, see that paper as a tool for making an airplane.
Based on that inner insight, the child will take the paper, and convert it into a airplane.
How? The Imagination.
A child will look sand, and see it as a tool for building.
He will bend down, not minding what you think of his actions. He will proceed to take the sand and begin to mould it into a ‘house’
Some will even add gate and windows.
How on Earth would a child conceive the vision of making a house with sand?
The Imagination.
Your Imagination is more important than you estimate it!
