There was a research that revealed that the thought
of having HIV kills more patients than the disease itself. Satan’s number one
target is the area of thoughts. He knows if he can control how you think, he
would be able to manipulate and control your entire life. I have said it before
that our thoughts dictates our words and actions and attitudes and self-image.
As a matter of reality thoughts determine destiny. That’s why the Bible warns
us to guard our minds.
The scripture says in Prov 23:7 that, “For as he
thinketh in his heart, so is he.” This is why those who keep dwelling on
thoughts of failure and depression would always be depressed. Personally, I have
come to discover that a man’s thought is the magnet through which the man
attracts things into his life. Jesus said in John 16:33b that, “In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” In
order words, there would be fuel price hike, there would be war, troubles,
famines, troublesome times, but the solution is our attitude which is a product
of your thought.
Joshua and Caleb also saw the giants that the other
ten spies saw, but they chose not to think about them. Caleb and Joshua started
thinking about victory and victory they got while the other guys that thought they
were grasshoppers became as grasshoppers. The first place to win every battle
is in the mind. One of my grandfather’s friend, Henry Ford by name said, “If
you think you can, you are right, if you think you can’t, you are right as
well.” To be successful in life, your thought is vital.
Phil 4:8 rounds it up by saying, “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, and if there be any praise, think
on these things.”
