The Mind

Leave a comment

According to Genesis, after God created man, he blessed him and commanded him to subdue and dominate the Earth and all that is within it.

I find it perplexing that man, who appears to be a frail and fragile creature, should be given dominion over animals with fierce strength like the Lion, Tiger, and so on, as well as planetary bodies with paranormal intensity like the sun and stars.

What did God give man that makes Him superior to God’s other creations?

  • A creative mind


Your mind is a key to an infinite number of possibilities, depending on how well you have challenged and exercised it. The mind is more than a machine; it is greater than any computer program. Thousands of bots and robots have been developed in an attempt to mimic humans, but none have been able to match the intelligence of the human mind.


YOUR MIND IS YOUR GREATEST RESOURCE

Everything God created man with was for his benefit, including the mind. When God created man and gave him the dominion charge, He did not give him a gun or a missile, the only thing He left man with was the Mind.

The Mind is the greatest resource that God has given to man. It is probably one of the greatest blessings that God has bestowed upon us.

Take a look at this;


“And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and knowledge, and all manner of workmanship; And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and silver, and brass, And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work. And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.” – Exodus 35: 30-34.


Bezaleel was given special abilities to do very special work in God’s sanctuary, and God provided him with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding for these tasks. Whatever Bezaleel and Aholiab did was simply a result of the divine wisdom God had bestowed upon them.


God has blessed many of us with gifted minds, such as Bezaleel. The same Spirit that quickened Bezaleel’s mind is the Spirit we received the moment we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Moreover, the Bible equally says we have the mind of Christ.


THE MIND IS A SOIL

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. Psalms 37:31.
 

The mind is like a soil, whatever you sow and nurture in it eventually becomes your reality. Thus, we must be careful the things we sow in our minds because they have the ability to grow to influence our lives.



Sow God’s word into your mind. Your mind was created by God so that you can be able to meditate and ponder on the word of God. When this duty is done diligently, God’s word becomes a strong influence and deciding factor in our minds.

It speaks when we’ve done wrong. It cautions us when we ere. It guides us when we’re trapped in a crossroad.

When God’s word is planted in our minds, living righteously becomes an easy thing.
 

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Hebrews 8:10.

THE MIND IS A WEAPON

The mind is a weapon given to man to overcome every circumstance of life. It is like a quiver full of weapons. But what will fill your quiver and make it strong is the content you have in it. The absence of quality content in the minds of young folks is what makes them despair in the face of opposition.

Thus, it is imperative that one feeds his mind with information relevant to the age and system we are in presently.

How to develop a Mind with unlimited potential

Leave a comment



Your mind is the mirror of who you are. What you don’t think about yourself you can’t become. Your mind is like a soil anything you put in it will surely germinate.


We must be careful of what we hear, what we watch and who we listen to, this period – as all these can either limit or expand your mind.

The mistake many make is that they invest more in the quality of their dressing than in the quality of their thinking.

If believers invested in the quality of their minds as much as they invested in their fashion and physique, they’d be unstoppable.

– Nwodo Divine


Quality living is not based on the quantity of things acquired, quality living is built on the quality of knowledge you have invested in yourself.


Your mind needs information to be active just like you need to eat to remain alive. You must feed your mind daily to defeat ignorance.


What you see about yourself in your mind can only come into fulfilment if you have an accurate knowledge.

Some of us are limited in our minds because of the kind of environment and background we grew in. But do you know you can break Such limitations?


Your mind is important to God because he releases ideas, imagination and pictures to help you discover His purpose for your life.


“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3

How to break Limitations off your Mind



1. The Knowledge of God

The knowledge of God is illuminating; it is enlightening. The mind that has been fed with the knowledge of God will remain creative and fruitful.

It is through the knowledge of God that our minds can able to receive the pictures and ideas that God is showing us.



“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;” – Heb. 10:16.


The above mentioned passage gives us an insight how God uses the human mind as a platform to transform humanity into His likeness.



Our mind can only be enlightened if we pursue the knowledge of God.

Meditation is the art of visualising God’s word.

– Nwodo Divine


2. Prayer and Meditation 🧘‍♂️

Meditating on the scripture is what produces a picture for your future. Until the saint meditates on the scriptures lines upon lines, precept upon precept, the saint will never be able to fully experience the reality of God’s promises.




If we must profit from the scriptures we must meditate and give ourselves totally to things of the spirit.


“Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.” – 1 Timothy 4:15.



Reading Quality Books 📚

A robust, mental and spiritual life is needed for a successful life. Reading is a lifestyle to anyone who wants to remain relevant in God.


“And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;” – Ezekiel 2:9.


Read books that will add value to your life. Books that will build your knowledge bank.


When we read books we begin living from the place the books stop. Books are powerful and you must give them priority because people will only look for you based on the relevant information you have in you.



When you begin to apply the information you have gotten, your value increases and your knowledge expands.

Have a Mentor 👨‍🏫

Mentorship delivers you from your own destruction. Knowledge with guidance from a mentor will produce wisdom.



There are people who had knowledge of so many things, but they lacked guidance, they made several mistakes.

One of the way to break limitations off your mind is to follow a mentor who has knowledge and valuable experience.


If we must break limitations of our mind we must start using the resources God has given to us to free ourselves.


God bless you.

The Power of Imagination

1 Comment



Imaginations are pointers to realities.



Imagination is seeing through the eyes of your mind to produce the reality you want to live in.


What we see and hear influences our imagination. Your subconscious mind is responsible for your imagination. It is what is stored in your subconscious mind that will be determine the quality of your foresight.


The bible admonishes us to guard our hearts because therein are the issues of existence. The mind is full of imaginations. One must choose what type of imagination one wants to conceive in your mind.


Until the spirit broods on the imagination which has been conceived in your mind, such imagination will never come to reality.


God imagined what He wanted to create on the Earth. It was conceived in His mind, then the Spirit brooded on His imagination and when He spoke, what He imagined became reality.


This is a season in which different imaginations, especially negative ones, are taking hold of people’s minds.


If your imagination is not conformed to the Knowledge of Christ, it is meant to be cast down. Our imaginations should be inspired by The Holy Spirit. Your Imagination is a reflection of who you really are.



Every great invention and fascinating innovation, was first conceived in The Imagination.


ENHANCING YOUR IMAGINATION


Meditate on God’s Word

In order to enhance your imagination, align your thinking with The Word of God.

The Word of God gives you so much imagination when you begin to think about them. His Word enriches our mind and expands our creativity.

Meditating on God’s Word creates vivid images of the operation of the supernatural, in the mind. When The Holy Spirit broods upon these images and one executes them, supernatural results are produced.

Insights From The Holy Spirit


Genesis 13:14-15: “After Lot was gone, the Lord said to Abram, “Look as far as you can see in every direction. For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity forever.”


When God promised Abram that Abram’s blessings would be as far as he could see, God was not referring to physical sight. God was connoting the use of the imagination to visualize the extent of greatness that Abraham desires.


Having a limited imagination of greatness is like going to fetch water from an ocean with a tea cup.


Our small imaginations water down what God wants us to deliver through us. They can make God’s promises to us look too difficult to be accomplished.


Expand the extent of your Imagination. If God is calling you to the helps ministry imagine yourself feeding the whole of Africa. Do limit what God can do with your tea-cup imagination, widen your imagination today.


Develop The God-Mind

The kind of mind you have is very important in having an enhanced and workable imagination.

Develop the God kind of Mind. God gave you a mind, so you could think like Him, and operate in a capacity that can only be likened to His.


Adam’s mind was so enhanced that he could name the thousands of creatures that were assigned to his rulership.


Until you develop the God Kind of Mind, you will never be able to imagine what is in God’s heart.


Prayer and Imaginations

We cast down negative imaginations through our prayers. Prayer and godly imaginations must to hand-in-hand.


If you are praying for healing, picture your healing in your mind even as you pray for it. Do not pray for healing and imagine sickness.


If you are praying for wealth, picture it in your mind while you pray. Do not pray for wealth and imagine poverty.


Our forefathers in the kingdom, after imagining, would go to the place of Prayer pray with those Images they received. This created convictions in them that eventually birthed realities.


Enhance your Imagination today!


God bless you!

Upgrade!

Leave a comment


To Upgrade is simply to increase in your worth and the quality of the value that you give to the society.



It is to raise your reasoning to the model of excellence and consistently improve on the quality of your mind in any endeavour you are engaged in.

Life comes in seasons. Destiny is in phases. Your ability to constantly upgrade your thinking and the quality of your services will go a long way in determining how much value you will add to the society.

Constantly upgrading ourselves is very important in sustaining generational relevance.

As Nwodo Divine, founder of Koininia Art says, ‘One must upgrade, because yesterday’s standard of excellence could today, be a display of mediocrity’


The problem with numerous believers is that even after getting born again, they still stick to their old pattern of thoughts and attitudes.


There is a clarion call from Heaven for us to upgrade.


We must advance the quality of our delivery to the level of wisdom and excellence that God has deposited in us.



Many persons, especially those in Africa, were born in bad times and conditions of life. Hence, even as believers, they have rubbed off the mindset of prominence, simply because their minds were shaped from infancy, by poverty.

Despise and detest poverty. Poverty leaves you defenceless and makes you dependent on the elite.

But greatness comes by intentional and deliberate efforts in upgrading your mind. Greatness is a lifestyle even as poverty.

UPGRADE WITH GOD’S WORD.

Source: Christianity.com


The first upgrade every believer should do is to advance his thinking to be aligned with the thoughts of God unveiled in God’s Word.


The Bible is the thoughts of God revealed. Spending time with The Bible is spending time with the thoughts of God.

When one does this consistently, one’s mind will increase in Wisdom very greatly.

The thoughts and ways of God are so mysterious, that we must constantly renew our minds to prevent being left behind in His move.


‘My life on earth is so brief, so tutor me in the ways of your wisdom. I am continually consumed by these irresistible longings, these cravings to obey your every commandment!’ Psalms 119:19-20.



For one to upgrade is for one to commit oneself to learning new things in God.


Never take pride today, in what you knew in the past because it can become obsolete.



Do not become complacent the things you’ve learnt or achieved in the past.

Upgrade and improve on them daily!

Each day, new methods of doing things are unfolded. If one does not advance in his methods, one will soon be considered to be archaic.

Joshua 1:8: ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’


In God’s first recorded discourse with Joshua, we discover an ageless truth; that our success and prosperity is tied to our ability to continually meditate on God’s Word, and practice that which it says.

As you continue to cogitate on the Word of God, your appetite for God widens. You will get unsatisfied with religion and pursue the kingdom.

UPGRADE BY READING QUALITY BOOKS

Source: Cfr.org



Upgrade your mind by getting quality books. Having a library of your own improves the way you think.

Books open you to new ways of seeing. Reading quality books sharpens our perception.

If you are not ready to be great do not read. A mind that does not read, will stink.


UPGRADE YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM


Do not let the mediocrity of your culture or background influence your belief system.

Your beliefs matter a lot. A poor character is a result of wrong belief systems. Failure and success are tied to your belief systems.


Change certain patterns and habits you know is dangerous to your destiny.


Deal with them, now!


Deal with everything that will cause the problem to your life.


Upgrade your mind and you will enjoy the best of life.

God bless you!

The Power Of Knowledge

Leave a comment



God is a God of Knowledge. He gives knowledge in fractional measure to men.

In order to fulfill your destiny, you need the right knowledge. There can be no success without learning.




Greatness comes from the consistent pursuit and practice of quality Knowledge.

Every endeavor requires knowledge to make you stand out in life. Any life that does not seek for knowledge, will end up becoming a failure.

Knowledge is very vital to the development of a man. Knowledge widens your intelligence. It makes you see beyond your environment. It enhances your creative thinking.

Quality Knowledge exposes you to the various possibilities involved in whatever endeavor you find yourself.

Ignorance is a great obstacle.

What you do not know will always limit your capacity, mentally and even spiritually.

A man of wisdom is a man who is consistent in acquiring knowledge. Viscid acquiring of knowledge is what makes your understanding sharper.

Our understanding will be very limited if there is no pursuit of enlightenment through knowledge.

GreenHills Emmanuel

“The words of the wise are like weapons of knowledge. If you need wise counsel, stay away from the fool. For the wisdom of the wise will keep life on the right track, while the fool only deceives himself and refuses to face reality.” Proverbs 14:7-8 (TPT)

Knowledge makes you distinct. It makes one wiser.

Unreasonable people will never go after knowledge. They presume that since God’s Grace is available, they can be anything they want to be in life. But God’s Grace will never be effective in the life of a man, if he does not know how to channel it into his endeavors.

The fool believes in his heart that he does not need knowledge.

That is the main reason we have a lot of ignorant people in the society and through their ignorance, society does not develop.

You will never be all God wants you to be if you do not gain knowledge of what God wants you to be.

“For wisdom is protection even as money is a protection. But the [excellent] advantage of Knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the lives of its possessors.” – Ecclesiastes 7:12 (AMP)

Knowledge is very powerful. Wisdom without knowledge is like Faith without action.

You cannot be a wise man if you have no drive for knowledge. Neither should you desire access to Wisdom when your hunger for knowledge is impercitible.

Wisdom is the compendium of relevant and sufficient knowledge.

Your quest for relevant knowledge leads to the path of Wisdom.

Any knowledge that is not relevant in the destiny path earmarked for you by God, should not be given optimal attention.

Knowledge is mandatory for anyone who wishes to grow mentally and spiritually.

The gap between winning and losing is the quality of knowledge in the mind. Quality Knowledge bridges the gap between success and failure.

Great men invest their time in knowledge. Time invested in knowledge produces a life of success.


“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will]. Because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.” Hosea 4:6 (AMP).


A man’s destiny may never be fulfilled if the knowledge concerning his destiny is not sought.

Lack of knowledge of the will of God will continually put you in confusion. It will make growth to become difficult. Rejection of the Knowledge of God is the denigration of one’s destiny.

Purse the knowledge of God in the early days of your life for the knowledge of God can transform the life of a man.

It is the knowledge of God that reshapes our convictions and belief systems. Without the knowledge of God, it will be difficult for us to walk in the will of God.

The knowledge of God opens us to various possibilities of the kingdom and brings to us, limitless Spiritual transformation.

The knowledge of God exposes us to the principles and laws of the kingdom
Understanding those laws will bring you to the purpose of true destiny in God.

Mental and skill knowledge is also significant.

Our minds work with the kind of knowledge that is deposited through books or tapes.

We must acquire knowledge that will upgrade our minds. It is through knowledge that innovative solutions to the problems plaguing our economy, are conceived in our minds.

Innovation is the fruit of a productive mind. And a productive mind is the result of consistent pursuit of quality knowledge.

You cannot start a business without you sufficient knowledge about it. Everything in the universe is governed by its knowledge.

Whatever sphere of life you want to work in, be it faith, industry, academics, you must gain the knowledge of it.

Whatever you want to become in life has its knowledge.

Are you in pursuit of knowledge or you are lazy?

Get knowledge today.

Kingdom Focus

Leave a comment

Image Source: Reputation Today


The Longman dictionary states that focus is ‘to give special attention to a particular thing or concentrate on something important.’

Focus is one of the greatest channels of exerting our mental and physical energies properly.

According to the scriptures, Focus is the ability to channel your concentration on the work and desires of the kingdom.

“And all who focus their hope on him will always be purifying themselves, just as Jesus is pure.” 1 John 3:3.

The more we focus on the Kingdom and its desires, the more we increase in our productivity as Kingdom Agents.

To be focused on the kingdom is to make the kingdom the central point of your life. To be focused on the Kingdom is to be engrossed and immersed in the desires of the kingdom.

To be focused on the kingdom is to channel all your energy and strength into the work and the demands of the kingdom. Without focus, one tends to get distracted with the cares of this life.

It is saddening, that in this generation, there are believers whose focus is on the things below instead of the things above.

It is a pity how we set our eyes on things that will only give us temporal happiness and yet we become unfulfilled and we complain how God is not favoring us.

One can only find the path to one’s Destiny fulfilment in the pursuit of Kingdom demands.

“The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in! 23 But if your eyes are focused on money, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of truth cannot enter!” – Matthew 6:22-23.

Light cannot enter our spirits when our focus is not on the Kingdom. There are several bounties in the covenant of Grace we entered when we got born again. But focusing on the things of this Earth at the expense of that of the kingdom, will deny one a clear revelation of those bounties.

Whenever our focus is not on the kingdom, we make our minds to wallow in darkness. Hence, God’s Light finds no access through which it can shine upon us.

If your eyes can be focused on the kingdom, the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened, the rivers of revelation and the fountain of life would always spring out from within you, because you are focused on what produces light.

When your affection is not set in the Kingdom, you will lose relevance in God.

Many persons are worried about their hope for a better future. But one whose focus is set on Christ, has none of such worries; for he is confident that in beholding Christ, He beholds His future.

Therefore, as long he continues to commit himself to the kingdom, Christ is committed to giving him a better future.

Here’s The Passion Translation’s rendition of one of David’s verses;

“For I’ve kept my eyes focused on his righteous words and I’ve obeyed everything that he’s told me to do I’ve done my best to be blameless and to follow all his ways keeping my heart pure” Psalms 18:22-23

A man who is committed and focused on the kingdom will always follow after the words of Christ because those words are his guiding steps.

The words of Christ are what keeps the focus of a kingdom man, as long as he continually and consistently behold the Christ, the kingdom becomes available to him more and more.

Paul was so focused on the kingdom that he went about preaching the gospel from nations to nations.

Our focus enables us to do great things for the kingdom.

Many people are wishing to be Kingdom agents, to spark Revival in many nations of the world, yet, they are not focused on giving their best for the kingdom.

Such persons are usually interested in the material benefits that comes with God’s work and not the work itself.

They are not after kingdom advancement. They are not ready to sacrifice themselves for the master use.

Focus makes you go after the substance and not the shadow .


“So above all, constantly chase after the realm of God’s kingdom and the righteousness that proceeds from him. Then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.” Matthew 6:33 TPT.



Until we refuse to put our eyes on the material things that the kingdom gives and focus on what the kingdom will make of us, we will keep on making mistakes and then our journey ends in circles.

Refuse to worry about tommorow and take charge of today.

The scripture aforementioned admonishes to chase after, with all vigor, Kingdom demands.

Jesus said that in the Kingdom, ‘The violent takes it by force’.

The violence Jesus told us about, is not physical violence, but living a life of mental and Spiritual concentration on our Kingdom purpose.

It means that there is a consistent understanding you must acquire from the kingdom in order for your life to be productive.

Beloved, I admonish you this day, to realign your focus to your kingdom purpose.

It does not mean you should neglect your duties here on Earth. It rather means that you should be devoted to the purpose for which you were created and reborn.

God bless you.

The Elasticity of The Human Brain

Leave a comment

I ran an experimental workout yesterday on Brain ELASTICITY. I took a reading adventure that took me more than ten hours.

Though my goal was not to spend time studying, but to observe the widening of my brain horizon.

It was quite tough reading for that duration. I was checking for the limit of my brain’s elasticity in the place of study.

I found out that the human brain has no ELASTIC LIMIT when it comes to being fed with information. It cannot get overfull.

It can be stretched and stressed, but each time you go beyond a certain threshold of stretching, your brain masters it and conditions itself to survive under such mode of stress and strain.

Those who study for long hours can attest to this.

The brain can be conditioned to embark on a work, apart from studying for lengthy hours without experiencing any BREAKDOWN, hence the complexity of the human brain.

Don’t get it twisted. No human is blessed with a special breed of brain to be exceptional. Never!

We all have more or less the same brain potential, but not many folks have crossed the stress threshold of their brain. They would rather sleep than stress the brain.

I once introduced a concept which I called “Brain Potential Power” (BPT). I posited that the brain can actually be stressed under certain conditions but if it can get ACCUSTOMED to such stress, it will ‘marry’ the stress as its natural disposition or abilities.

Say for instance, you can only study for thirty minutes and whenever you try to go beyond that, you get brain pain.

You can actually get rid of that pain by enduring it and going beyond those thirty minute.

When this is done steadily, your brain gets schooled to familiarize itself with the NEW development of scaling above mere thirty minutes to probably an hour, such that you can at anytime study beyond thirty minutes without any noticeable pain.

The Power of a Positive Mentality

Leave a comment



More often than not the term “Mentality” is used to lay emphasis by humans on a regular basis, positivity, negativity, hopes, dreams, aspirations, beliefs and the outcome of things as it is said and believed by the larger society depends on a person’s mentality.

But the question is what really is mentality?

Mentality, according to The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary is the attitude or way of thinking of a person or group.

Cambridge English dictionary defines mentality as a person’s particular way of thinking about things. That is to say, the entire lifestyle of a person can be traced their mentality.

Mentality being a person’s way of thinking goes similar with mindset which is a way of thinking, an attitude or opinion especially a habitual one.

The word ‘Habitual’ is very important in this context as it deals with the regular and behavioural manner of a person which has become a habit and Habit is an action performed on a regular basis.

If mentality is a person’s way of thinking and a person’s way of thinking is their mindset and their mindset is habitual, it is a clear proof that you are what you think, and a good or positive life goes in line with positive thinking while the opposite does otherwise.


Giving illustrations from the bible.

The story of the twelve spies in the book of numbers who were chosen from each of the twelve tribes of Israel by Moses to scout the land of Canaan for forty days in a quest to know their possibility of conquering the land – Numbers(13:3-20)

When they returned, ten of the spies described the people of Canaan as strong and their cities as fortified and very large, thus believing they were not as strong as the people of Canaan likewise their fortified cities. Numbers (13:25-29)

The ten spies portrayed a negative, mediocre and loser mentality.

But Caleb, who was among the twelve spies, quietened them and assured them that they could take over the land because God was with them.

He portrayed a positive and conquering mentality – Numbers 13:30.

But the other ten spies stuck to the mindset that the Canaanites were better off.

They saw themselves as grasshoppers before the Canaanites. (Numbers 13:31-33)

A person’s negative mindset can become permanently habitual if it is not adjusted quickly.

Despite the positive view of Caleb, the ten spies clung unto their negative mindset.

Joshua and Caleb, the only brave two out of the twelve spies, eventually led the conquering of the land of Canaan by being driven by a positive mindset and faith!

Another Biblical story that illustrates the power of positive/faith thinking is that of the woman with the issue of blood. – Mark 5:25-34

Scriptures tell us that she decided within her heart, saying, “If only I can touch his garment I will be made well.

For faith to work and bring expectations to reality it must be fueled by a positive mentality.

Faith with Positive Mentality is the gateway to receiving all that is expected from above.

Conclusively, the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 also teaches us about the power of a positive mentality.

Scriptures tell us that the Israelites shook to their bones at the sight of Goliath but David was empowered by a positive mentality and a deep rooted faith in God, and he conquered!

There cannot be the presence of strong faith without a positive Mentality.

Expectations can only come to reality where the presence of a positive mentality and faith abides.

God does not work with a negative or mediocre mind.

A negative mindset is a product of doubt. God never works with one who thinks negatively.

Change your mindset.

Change your life.

You are what you think!

The Power of The Mind and Imagination

Leave a comment

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!
