UNTHINKABLE

November 7, 2014

When something is unthinkable, it means unimaginable, inconceivable and in most cases impossible. For example it is unimaginable to have a pure lion give birth to a chicken. A king doesn’t have to beg for honor. By the virtue of his position and throne, irrespective of his age, you just must respect him even if you are older than him, and in some cases this act of respect includes prostrating for him. As believers, there are some things that are just unthinkable because of our divine nature.

In Acts 28:1-6, Apostle Paul was trying to gather firewood when a viper came out and fastened on his hand. The moment the people around saw him, they started counting down to the time that Paul would swell up and die. But the longer they waited, the healthier the Apostle became. In the end, they changed their minds and called Paul a god. It was unthinkable for Paul to die of snake bite because Psa 91:13 says, “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.”

As a believer, it is unthinkable to be begging for food. Sir, Jesus never begged and can never beg for food, He fed 5000 people using 5 loaves of bread and 2 pieces of fish. Can you imagine Jesus on an interview seat and they tell Him, “sorry, no vacancy!” How? Can you imagine Jesus having a shop and then no one is buying? Can you imagine Jesus looking for someone to introduce Him to someone to help Him? NO! You were created in the image and likeness of God, so whatever couldn’t stop Jesus shouldn’t stop you if only you have the right mindset. You are a royal priesthood and a chosen generation.

Think right. Your mentality matters. You cannot think like a slave and act like a king. Php 2:5 says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Why? Because, “As a man thinks, so he is.”

Keep shining!
