The power in man to be and
to do is located in his heart. This information is very important for
you to note because when you know where the power in you is located,
you simply focus on that area and use the power. No man can fail if
he can use a small percentage of the power in him, because there is
no single man on the face of the earth that is wired by God to fail.
When you see a man that fail in life, recognize the fact that such a
man did not use all the resources God gave him correctly.
You may say to me, "But,
I tried all my best but I still did not make it. Yes, it may be true
that you tried your best, you struggled, you worked, you even sweat
but life seem to be unfair to you. Why is life that unfair to you?
God must be partial? No, a million time no. God is not partial and
sometimes, when it seems as if life is unfair, at that very moment
and in that very situation of unfairness, an opportunity is hidden.
You need to pray to God to see the hidden opportunity, because it is
always there lying hidden at the back of every problem. When you
struggle physically, and use all your physical strength to get the
work done and you fail, it is because there are some things you are
doing wrongly.
Success in life could not
have been by strenght, otherwise, physically strong people could have
been the richest. I have seen many strong, beautiful people fail
while frail bodied individuals are getting richer. This tells you
that success power is not located in man's physical strength, it must
be somewhere else. This is because blind people are getting rich,
meaning, it is not in physical vision. The power in man to get wealth
is not in his physical eyes, crippled people are getting rich,
employing able bodied people to work for them, meaning that the power
to get wealth is not in your physical legs or connection. There are
some who were born without hands and legs, and yet they not only
become rich but famous and known around the world. If success and
ability to get wealth is in the physical, these people could never
have tasted wealth or success.
I dare to tell you what
the bible says, "Its not by power, its not by might but by my
Spirit, says the Lord." The power to do and become is located in
your mind, so it doesnt matter how physically strong or weak you are,
if you can draw that power out of your heart, you will be successful.
Think about what I am trying to express here for a moment and you
will agree with me that the power to become anything is in you. I
watched a motivational speaker on TV, she was not speaking fluently
because she had speech impediment and yet she was a motivational
speaker. Wow! How could she? You couldn't even hear her well if you
are not very attentive, but, she talked sense and I was blessed. She
became successful at doing that what she loved, now she is very
famous in South Africa. If a woman with speech impediment can become
a successful motivational speaker, you too can become whatsoever you
desire. This tells you that power to succeed as a preacher or
motivational speaker is not in your oratory prowess but is in your
mind.
You may want to argue, but
I feel smarter in every area of life than some of my friends who seem
to be more successful in life than me. Yes, it is true, but there is
something they are doing with their minds that you are not, if you
can begin today, your life will have a one hundred percent turn
around. We are all given minds that have the very same potential to
do and become. How far we go in life depends completely on how we use
our minds and the thought we allow to persist therein. This is the
greatest secret of power and success on the planet earth. You become
what you think persistently. Generally, successful people think
positive thoughts majority of the time while those who fail think
negative thoughts most of the time. Negative thoughts begins when you
doubt that things will go well. If anyone allows negative thought to
overthrow his mind, failure will become his companion until he change
his mind.
The thoughts that you
allow to stay in your mind is one of the determining factor of
success or failure. God loves you and so in the bible, he explain to
us how to think and what to think about in other to be successful in
life. In Philippians 4:8, we read,
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,if there be any praise, think on these things.
You can see that we are
given what to think about from the bible passage above. We are to
think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, something
of good report, things that contains virtue and praise. let me take
these things one by one and explain to you the implication of this
verse of the scripture.
Truth
We are commanded to think
on whatsoever is true. Now the question is, what is the truth? Truth
is constant, it does not change from age to age, it is the same
everywhere in the world. The laws of the universe does not change
with location and with age, for example, the law of gravity is the
same in every age and generation since the world began. Physical and
spiritual laws are truth, they work, they prevail against the
temporary realities. The law of faith says that whatsoever you
desire, when you pray, believe that you receive it and you shall have
it, that is truth, it can never change with time and age. Your
present condition is not the truth, because it can change at any
time. Your present condition is a fact, a reality, subject to change
since there is no condition that is permanent. Realities and facts
changes so bible says think about the truth not the realities or the
fact of your current condition.
Maybe, your current
condition is a fact that you are broke and financially weak, don't
think about it, when you think about it you give it power to oppress
you more. Bible says you should think about the truth, and that is,
instead of thinking, "I do not have money". Think, "God
shall supply me the money I need." When you think about the
solution to your problem rather than the problem, you are thinking
about the truth. Bible says, "I can do all things through Christ
that give me strength". During the time of weakness and stress,
when you think not about your condition, but about the potential
result of strength and health you can gain by believing, you will
become strong. Stop thinking about realities, they are not the truth,
start thinking about potentials, because these are more powerful than
realities.
