Hello stemians and welcome to the second part of the topic "The power of Positive thinking". On this second part, I will be concentrating on working on the mind

Work On Your Mind

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Roman's 12 vs 1-2

Every transformation begins in the mind. There is no change in life outside the mind. The mind sets the pace for every change that a man or woman experiences in life. No change ever comes to be except as initiated in the mind. A local dialer in Nigeria has a very powerful word for repentance. It calls it "thinking to change your character or habit". This agree with , but ye be transformed by the renewing of the mind.....it is a change on the inside that brings about a change on the outside.

We don't cry for a change, we think through for a change. A breakthrough in mind equals an automatic breakthrough in life. I wish that all the "praying throughs" that people do were appropriately changed to "thinking throughs". Then we would have bee through long ago.

I once came across a quote that says, very many think once a year, few think twice. I have set a record by thinking at least once a week". There will never be a change except as initiated by a change in the mind. Unfortunately, very many are not thinking, so very many are not changing.

It.is not prayer that brought the Prodigal son back. Luke 15 vs 17, "And when he came to himself...". He didnt bind the devil. A change in his thought was all he needed for his change of destiny. He said , "I will arise and go to my father, enough is enough . He didn't say, Satan let me go.

Isaiah puts it in a very colorful way. He said no matter how neck deep you are into sin, the Lord says;

Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord. Though your Sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Isaiah 1 vs 18

No matter the depth of waywardness, covenant provoking thoughts will rescue anyone from the dungeons of Satan. We have cried enough. If we think half the way we have cried,. Our light would have since broken forth out of insecurity. There are very few thinkers!. That's why there are so many stinkers.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?

1Corinthians 2 vs 11

No other man knows the level where you really are now, but you. Nobody's light shines without thinking. It is the quality of your thoughts that determines the intensity of your light. The brightness of your light is determined by the birghtness of your thinking. That is the way out.

There is no transformation without mind renewal. It is a change in the mind that affects a change in the outside. Thinking is a lifelong responsibility!. If you don't want the sun to go down, get into covenant Bible- based thoughts, that will cause Evey darkness around you to be subdued and the light of heaven to cover you and overtake you.It takes quality thinking to shine brightly.

For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not.dowm first and countenth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

Some depth of your spiritual though determines the height of the tower. There is no on you that covenant thoughts cannot break. I see breakthrough in mental dignity coming your way!. Brining your out from Evey trouble and every chain.

Just settle down and think! Stop pointing accusing fingers at others! You are absolutely responsible for your present position. If you want to have a breakthrough, stop looking for who to blame. The Prodigal son didn't say "if it were not for that friend who misled me...." Nor did he say it was Satan that deceived him. He www simply available

You have been giving tithes and offerings and you can't see the results. Sit down and think, why is this thing nor working for.me also?. All that a wife beater needs to sit down and think . If that thought is deeply rooted in the word ofnGid., It will liberate him. He will just walk into liberty as though that bondage never existed.

You can shed off any weight , you know!.All you nee to.do us sit down and talk to yourself. Where Ma I going?, How did I get there? Just sit down! Until you sit down, you don't return!. You need to return from from your Prodigal journeys, before the father closes the gate. Isaiah 30 vs 15 says " in returning and rest shall ye be saved. He said, come now.....Now is the time to reason with God.

The devil knows the importance of the mind. He knows you never gain access to light without the mind.so he blinds people's mind.

For I know nothing by myself. Yet am.i not hereby justified: but he that judgethe is the Lord.
2Corinthians 4 vs 4

When the mind is blinded, nothing shines. The Holysghost is the one that sharpens your mental capability. Isaiah 11 vs 3 says;

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord.

Your baptism in the Holy ghost is not just for speaking in tongues. It also enhances mental prowess, surprising intelligence, the ability to reason in the class of God, to enhance liberty and freedom! It's time to reason. When you are born again, your mind becomes asset for revolution. By the grace of God, Steemchurch is where it is today by quality thinking. Thinking should get us excited at Steemchurch.

You locate solutions if you give your mind to reasoning.. you will able to chart a course for yourself. There is no problem without solution. You only need to sit down and think through
